Random Movement

Random Movement creates a world where the high-speed energy of drum and bass meets the sophisticated, laid-back cool of 70s soul and jazz. It is music that feels inherently organic despite its electronic foundations, characterized by a distinct 'swing' in the percussion that avoids the mechanical stiffness often found in the genre. The sound is defined by lush electric piano textures, deep walking basslines, and expertly chopped vocal samples that provide an emotional anchor to the 170 BPM tempo.

What sets Mike Richards apart is his ability to inject a sense of playfulness and genuine warmth into his productions. While many liquid producers lean into melancholia, Random Movement often feels celebratory and bright. His tracks possess a rhythmic complexity that rewards close listening, often featuring syncopated snare hits and ghost notes that give the drums a live, human feel. It is sophisticated without being cold, and energetic without being aggressive.

Start with the 'Her Song EP' or 'Lucky Guess' to hear the quintessential Random Movement sound. These releases showcase his knack for finding the perfect soulful loop and building a high-energy, danceable world around it. It is the ideal entry point for anyone who loves the speed of DnB but craves the harmonic depth of classic R&B.
