Rikki Turner's San Pedro Collective are back with a new EP called Phase Two featuring the laid back, 70s acid jazz/ funk vibes of Time (originally out back in January) and a new song In Your Way (Calito's Way Remix). SPC are building a bigger sound if In Your Way is anything to go by, a clipped guitar part, big chords and some urgency, led by the voice of Jasmine Needham. The loose collection of characters and players Rikki is putting together are pushing the group in different directions, no stone unturned.
Back in 2019 Rikki worked with Suddi Raval, formerly of Together (of Hardcore Uproar fame) and they found the motherlode with The Things You See, dark acid house dreamt up in the suburbs near Stockport. A bouncy, sinuous 808 bassline and a vocal from Millie McBean, club music from the darker corners of the dancefloor.
Just in case you need a reminder of the range of Rikki's talent few years ago he led The Hurt who hit the mark with this epic, brooding, seductive tribute to the German capital, a song that gives me shivers whenever I go back to it.

Fantastic!
There is so much to like about SPC! And your right, each release expands their range. I really like the darkness and urgency evoked on the original mix of In Your Way as well. It has this raw, jam like quality to the production.
