After a bit of delay, Riding Solo is back on Apple Music
It is also on Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and other streaming services.
Fun fact: this track was originally released in 2022 and has a Country twang to the vocals. So grab your cowboy hats and boots if you so desire!
I have gotten back to publishing again.
Riding Solo is my first track to be re-released after changes in my distribution journey started in fall 2023.
Through Distrokid, I was able to get back on most of the digital platforms that I wanted to get on. However, there are some drawbacks too.
As currently configured, distribution to DJ facing resources is restricted to one, Beatport. The bigger issue there is that proper label attribution can not be done on Distrokid. Boo!
So going forward, I’m likely to use this distribution channel when I want to go experiment with a sound. A vehicle where my music and the other producer/DJs I work with published on mGrooves Music is still to come.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy being able to play Riding Solo again. Other digital streaming services this track will be available on added daily.
I’m very excited to announce this release on my record label on mGrooves Music. It is a 5 track compilation with 2 tunes from Ed Ridgley, a remix by Tracey Cooper, 2 tunes by Afropino, and my contribution–Riding Solo.
I have wanted to have this type of release for quite a while!

About 3 years ago this month, I was in Bixby Park right at the the beach about the half way point between Alamitos Beach and Junipero Beach in Long Beach, CA.
And I mention this because one of my top tracks on Beatport was started while I was working in that sunshine.
This is the top three of my releases currently on Beatport!
This track was done in about 4 hours late on a Friday night. I was home alone (which is most of my Fridays to be honest), and I was fooling around on my decks.
This was the track mentioned at the top that was started on the very beach pictured in the header art. Much of the rest of it came together in what became one of my typical spots to hang out, Hot Java, which is just on the other side of the park.
My latest as it was just released in late Dec 2019, I was in a mood for lots of organ keys. It is also the most favorite on Beatport at the moment .
I am so stoked by this release as I will comment on in future posts. It also debuted on Traxsource at #64 on their House chart the week of Dec 30, 2019.
Recently, on my side hustle I had 3 passengers in the back seat and this track came on. I often play my LiftConfidential playlist on Spotify while driving.
It was two girls and a guy. The guy and one of the girls started chuckling and bopping to the track.
I asked them if they liked the song. The two that were full of giggles answered yes. The other girl said an emphatic ‘no’.
However, she then proceeds to comment on how it sounds like Prince.
Personally, even though she said she didn’t like the track, I am going to take it as a compliment that she compared it to Prince.
But, I have to ask: even though the one girl said she didn’t like the song, do you think I should count it as a yes since she compared it to Prince?
(I’m asking for a friend…. lol.)
