Profile:
Asad Rizvi's musical creativity developed at school and college recording facilities from 13 onwards. He & Ian O'Brien as Memory Tree had their first release in 1995. Reverberations, the label, sound-system and production team consists of Asad & friends Ravi McArthur, Tom Gillieron and Charlie Inman, and is co-run with Nathan Coles. Asad & Ravi have been recording as the Impossible Beings for a number of years. In 1999, Asad and Charlie Inman’s Appleheadz project found a home on Brighton's Loaded Records, later changing their name to Emulsion. Asad's work as Silverlining, focussing on his darker, dubbier and more dancefloor-orientated material, has had releases on labels such as Tag, Eukahouse, and Japan’s Ing Recordings. His single Precision Spanner on Wrong picked up a Vital Release in Muzik Magazine in 1998. Asad has regularly played at such UK nights as Fabric, Wiggle, and The End’s Subterrain, as well as his own Reverberations parties in South London. In 2006, Asad has teamed up with Ben Lost and Ashley Casselle in their collaboration known as The Remote.

I'm talking about CD1, track 8... Yes, the 'Affrodizziac' remix he did.
Therefore I decided to check him out some more. He never disappointed me since. The man simply keeps on delivering suprising house tracks.
Pretty odd when you think of it though, since he has a certain sound that you can find in all his productions.
The key in my opinion however, lays in creating a some sort of recognition supported by deep flowing basslines combined with stabs without too much fx attached.
Similar to 'Pillow Talk' and the remix he did for Blaze's 'How Deep Is Your Love' described as 'funky' deep house tracks which are NOT similar to the Affrodizziac release I mentioned before.
Despite that, I do recognize the 'Rivzi-twist' he puts together when comparing these tracks.
I simply cannot get enough because of his excellent creativity combined with talent, experience and production skills.
One final word; Breathtaking.
