{"product_id":"dj-richard-path-of-ruin","title":"DJ Richard – Path Of Ruin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDJ Richard \u003c\/span\u003ebrand of house and techno is stark yet glows with emotion. \u003cem\u003ePath Of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e is his first release since the 2015 album \u003cem\u003eGrind\u003c\/em\u003e. Like that record, it looks towards his home on the American eastern seaboard. Inspired by the region's harsh winters, \u003cem\u003ePath Of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e is brittle and made for biting air and dark nights. It takes the most memorable aspects of Grind and isolates them, making for a more direct release. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Path Of Ruin (Pain Mix)\" could become one of DJ Richard's best-known tracks. Like the best artists on Dial, Richard gleans something compelling from simple sounds—in this case, an ominous chord. The tension stays high for all ten minutes, while melancholic melodies and a crestfallen bassline orbit the centre. Richard plays with multiple clashing melodies on \"Gargoyle\"—a sleight of hand that showcases his sharp sense of musicality—and steps away from the dance floor entirely for the bleak \"Stygian Freeze,\" which is just a chord progression flickering over a somber bassline. Silence speaks volumes on \"Stygian Freeze\" and the rest of Path Of Ruin, an EP that sees DJ Richard find his voice by using it sparingly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/4RXaUfw0z8kQD6l19zdqAA?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Dial\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, 12\", 45 RPM\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Germany\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Nov 17, 2017\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Techno, Deep House\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: House \/ Electro \/ Techno\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43313584570526,"sku":"880319889516","price":30.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a1572902020_10.jpg?v=1710326752","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/dj-richard-path-of-ruin","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
