SIDEPIECE

🚧 bumpy los angeles + miami tech house

two producers who already had careers. Dylan Ragland makes trap and bass as Party Favor out of los angeles, and Ricky Mears is NITTI in miami, with a latin grammy on the shelf from a Bad Bunny record. they started this in september 2019 over a video call.

We got on FaceTime one day and showed each other some tech-house records.

three months later "On My Mind" with Diplo landed on Higher Ground and got them a grammy nomination for best dance recording. it is past 341 million plays.

they run LIP SERVICE, which put out records quietly through 2025 before they made it official in january. "Cash Out" with Bobby Shmurda came out on it, and Odd Mob, further up this page, remixed it that august.

the horny house tour ran the states through spring. still two of them, still one city each.
