BERLIN ! Am 11. Februar begrüßen wir mit @spaven23 einen der innovativsten Schlagzeuger der britischen Jazz- und Clubszene im Gretchen. Mit seinem neuen Album „Light of Day“ im Gepäck verbindet er Jazz, Hip-Hop, elektronische Musik und Drum & Bass zu einem unverwechselbaren Sound, geprägt von komplexen Rhythmen, tiefen Grooves und einem außergewöhnlichen Gespür für Dynamik.
Alle Infos und Tickets auf www.gretchen-club.de
Mit „Light of Day“ auf Edition Records rückt er seine Arbeit als Komponist und Bandleader noch stärker in den Mittelpunkt. Gemeinsam mit @stuartmccallumguitar an der Gitarre und @yvesfernandez am Bass erschafft er einen vielschichtigen, organischen Sound, bei dem Improvisation, elektronische Einflüsse und rhythmische Raffinesse aufeinandertreffen.

Richard Spaven @spaven23 – Light of Day
It’s always a little different reviewing the work of someone you’re fortunate enough to call a friend. But when the music speaks this loudly, the job is pretty easy.
Richard Spaven has spent more than two decades developing one of the most distinctive rhythmic voices in contemporary music, and Light of Day feels like another important chapter. His drumming is technically incredible, but the technique never gets in the way of the feel. Every pocket, accent, ghost note and rhythmic shift feels intentional.
Moving effortlessly between jazz, hip-hop, club culture, broken beat and drum & bass, Rich creates a record that is deeply rhythmic but also spacious, melodic and atmospheric. The contributions from @olirockberger @stuartmccallumguitar @nilspettermolvaer @jdawildchild @pettereldh @yvesfernandez @verneri_pohjola @jamescopus @graemeblevins @olisavill @johnmetcalfemusic @fattybassman @patrickcphillips an incredible cast, only add to the richness of the sound.
What I appreciate most is that Spaven isn’t trying to prove how much he can play. He’s focused on what the music needs and that’s where his years of experience really shine.
Proud to see the homie stepping into this new chapter. Light of Day is a beautiful record. Give it some time, turn it up, and let the groove find you.

Heavy rotation on @eavesdrop_radio
Also rest in eternal peace to our friend @misterbunnybread 🕊️
