Dias Ridge’s latest release, “End to Begin,” drags you headfirst into a sonic world. Introspective piano melodies rip through deep rhythmic currents, with a groove that hits nostalgia while feeling entirely fresh. Released on David Hohme’s label, Where The Heart Is Records, the track is fully connected to Dias Ridge’s roots. A synthesis of Atlanta‘s underground rave chaos and his classical-jazz mastery. Raw, unfiltered, and real. An industry full of plastic-wrapped trends won’t find that here.
Dias Ridge plunged into electronic music from Atlanta’s rave basements. Grim, underground venues gave him refuge and identity, where he found his place under neon lights. Trance breaks pounded the walls. Drum & bass rhythms pushed bodies to the limit. His classical and jazz upbringing added to this mix, creating a cocktail of influences that made his sound truly original.
Dias Ridge now steps into his own with unstoppable confidence. Recognition comes for staying true amidst the noise. “End to Begin” is the start of something great. Anchoring piano elements mark each track as his, the heartbeat in a sea of static. This release hammers that message home: an artist standing strong, refusing to be molded by anyone else.
