Meas & Riddie release their debut, “Keep T Moving,” a fusion of youthful vigor and classic electronic character. Meas & Riddie produced the track, and these two young artists have already built a clear connection with House music while still leaving room to experiment and make music on their own terms.

“Keep T Moving” is a powerful electronic and house record that speaks to the duo’s love of fusing old-school 909 sounds with more modern synths. This distinction gives the track its main artistic direction, fusing a familiar electronic base with a modern edge. Meas & Riddie see those influences as part of the sound they are beginning to make their own.

As their first independent Spotify release, “Keep T Moving” also captures the thrill of a beginning, of two young musicians stepping into the scene without putting unnecessary limits on where their sound can go. 17-year-old Riddie and 15-year-old Meas share an uncommon sense of youthful dedication on their debut release. Their age is part of the story, but more interesting is their willingness to explore on their own terms. “Keep T Moving” definitely sets the direction, but leaves plenty of room for Meas & Riddie to build on their sound with future releases.

“Thai Basil“ is a refreshing change of pace. This new release from Dan Webb is a funk, jazz, and electronic track that trades the heavier subject matter of his recent singles for something much more immediate. It’s a party that celebrates life and the present moment. The track is the first single from his forthcoming fifth album, “Lion Dance,” and draws on Southeast Asian flavors.

The heart of “Thai Basil“ is a stacked horn chart played by Ron Blake and James King, both of whom are in The Rolling Stones’ horn section and also played on Hackney Diamonds and Foreign Tongues. This gives the track a strong brass-led identity, and the horns become a defining part of its musical character. The arrangement suggests a sound meant for movement and energy.

The album’s previous singles have delved into Taoist philosophy, Buddhist tradition, loss, displacement, self-identity and reinvention. “Thai Basil“ breaks from those weightier subjects but keeps the album’s sense of artistic discovery. It’s about presence, pleasure, and the simple fact of being alive.

“Thai Basil“ is more playful and celebratory, never settling into one emotional space, and pulls from a unique array of jazz, funk, and electronic influences. What is released expands the image of what “Lion Dance” can be, showing it can be not just a journey through identity and change, but a journey that can be welcoming and simply happy.
