“Keep T Moving” shows Meas & Riddie’s fresh approach to house music

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.

Max Ceddo captures one-sided communication on latest release “So You Say”

Max Ceddo takes a frustrating one-sided conversation and makes it the centerpiece of “So You Say,” a song built around communication that never seems to go anywhere. It’s a relatable portrait of the frustration of constantly trying to engage another person in conversation, only to be met with little reciprocation.

The lyrics make that imbalance clear from the beginning, “All you seem ever to say is So you say.” Every time someone calls to talk to me, the narrator says, the other person listens and says nothing, and the narrator wonders why they even called. Even the greeting seems to be limited: “all you ever say is hi at the beginning.” The repetition signals a relationship caught in a frustrating pattern.

What gives “So You Say” its character is how directly it complains. There is no need to dress up the problem, one person wants communication, while the other seems unable or unwilling to give it. “You cant speak cause all you ever say is so you say” brings the idea back around, so the repetition is part of the message itself. Max Ceddo captures the weariness of talking when no one talks back.
