With “Ritme”, Alex Puche and Marat Mode deliver a masterclass in balance — a track that merges melodic house sensibility with the timeless groove of classic house. Out via Multinotes on their All Night Long Various Artists compilation, it captures the essence of the label’s sound: warm, refined, and deeply human.
Built around a powerful rhythm section, Ritme immediately establishes its intent: hypnotic yet uplifting. The expressive vocal layers add soul and tension, while the distinctive piano-driven drop provides that emotional punch that lingers long after the last note fades. Every detail feels carefully sculpted: the subtle reverb tails, the percussive shuffle, the perfectly restrained bassline. It’s a track that understands space and movement — designed for the dancefloor, yet crafted with the precision of a studio artisan.
Both producers bring their unique fingerprint to the collaboration. Valencia-based Marat Mode is known for his detailed, emotionally charged sound design, previously showcased on labels such as Somatic Records, Harabe, and ICONYC. His work often blurs the line between introspection and euphoria. In contrast, Thailand-based Alex Puche injects a distinct rhythmic intensity, rooted in his love for percussion and organic textures, a sound that has caught the attention of tastemakers like Black Coffee, Jimi Jules, Richie Hawtin, and Viken Arman.
Already supported by Âme, Dixon, and Jimi Jules, Ritme has been lighting up iconic dancefloors from Pachá and Hï Ibiza to Space Miami.
