Inside “Bang It”: How Rich Furniss, Proper Villains, and Valerie Valentine Beautifully Capture New York’s Underground Energy

Rich Furniss kicks off his new label Space Wav with a bang—literally. The single “Bang It” unites Furniss with longtime scene staples Proper Villains and rising star Valerie Valentine, delivering a potent fusion of groove, grit, and festival-ready energy. This debut release isn’t just a song; it’s a statement of intent for Space Wav, blending technical precision with a raw underground edge that honors New York’s electronic legacy.

Rich Furniss has long been a key figure in the Brooklyn electronic scene, known for his soulful house influences and collaborative spirit. Here, his knack for crafting infectious rhythms finds new expression alongside Jonathan Shulman’s (Proper Villains) genre-blending bass sounds and Valentine’s distinct vocal power. The result is a track that balances depth and immediacy, engineered to light up dance floors and capture listeners’ attention.

Visually, “Bang It” embraces retro aesthetics, mixing pastel tones with vinyl-inspired motifs—a nod to the past while firmly rooted in today’s sound. This fusion of styles reflects the track’s musical DNA, where timeless groove meets fresh production values.

With strong support behind them—including millions of streams and performances at major festivals—the trio is poised to keep pushing boundaries. “Bang It” is just the beginning for Space Wav and this powerhouse collaboration.
