© Nothing Else MattersAre you ready for some deliciously tasty house? Danny Howard has signed some to his Nothing Else Matters label with the new single from Ronnie Spiteri called ‘Power’…

Continuing a run of releases that has seen Ronnie Spiteri make inspired moves to re-establish himself as one of house music’s most exciting producers, he delivers “Power” – a summer anthem-in-the-making courtesy of Danny Howard’s taste-making “Nothing Else Matters” imprint.

A decisive demonstration of his ability to seamlessly traverse the broad spectrum of house music, “Power” leans into the summer season, and sits in contrast to his recent release on Knee Deep In Sound – a club-focused EP that saw “Peace” deployed by Carl Cox and Jamie Jones during their B2B at the UNVRS opening party. 

I think it’s important to be able to play for different audiences in different settings, so with Power, it was all about making an anthem and not just a club track – something that would cross over and sound great on radio or in a festival setting.” – Ronnie Spiteri

Lining up an impressive number of releases for the coming months across labels including Altra Moda and Bandidos, Spiteri’s work ethic is clear; driven by a passion for the craft and the potent experiences of raves during his formative years, his productions convey an intrinsic understanding of the elements that make dance music special – not just in the studio, but on the dance floor itself. 

It sounds clichéd, but once I had the right idea, the track almost wrote itself. The combination of the vocal hook with that big powerful piano riff is a timeless combination – an old school flavour but refined in a style that feels current and fresh.” – Ronnie Spiteri

Returning to the scene after a period of recalibration, with consistent top-level DJ support and a monthly Spotify listener count that has ballooned to over 500,000, this renewed confidence in his own productions is palpable, but it’s also a reminder that the best work is collaborative, and the story behind “Power” is no different. 

Pointing towards the crucial role of a label A&R, and the value that relationship can have for a producer, the A&R process helped bring “Power” to life; noting that quality feedback and placing trust in that advice was part of the creative process for Ronnie, choosing to lean on the unique insight of a tastemaker such as Danny Howard helped define the track’s final form. 

Danny’s support on this new run of music means a lot, and his input on this release was crucial. I sent him a folder of tracks and the process was very much a conversation, a collaborative approach – he is a real A&R who helped get this track to a point where when a DJ plays it, it lands in exactly the way I intended it to. The role of an A&R is so important, they’re a second set of ears who can spot things you miss, and when you’ve got advice from someone like Danny who is helping break tracks every week on national radio, you’d be silly not to listen to it.” – Ronnie Spiteri

“Power” very much represents the sound of an artist who is decisively stepping into a new phase, one which is already delivering tangible results on the dance floor, and the promise of a pivotal summer for the re-energised producer.
