Indie-house artist Ry Hill returns with his final release of 2023, “In Touch.” The new single marks Hill’s last album single prior to his long form debut, Death by Distraction, due in March 2024. Crafted using a mesh of organic and synthetic soundscapes, “In Touch” perfectly embodies Hill’s signature indie-electronic sound. The 26-year-old artist employs his own vocals, guitar, and keyboard playing on the carefree yet catchy new record.
Hill says of his latest song, “’In Touch’ is about the limbo stage before a break-up. Staying ‘In Touch’ hurts less than breaking it off completely. I wanted to give it a moody yet catchy atmosphere to carry home that idea.’
Los Angeles-bred, Brooklyn-based producer/DJ Ry Hill, born Cameron DeFaria, first started gaining traction in 2016 by uploading remixes to SoundCloud. Since then, Hill has become a reputable electronic tastemaker in LA’s thriving club scene. Having earned co-signs from renowned music publications Dancing Astronaut, Acid Stag, We Rave You, Early Rising, and FUXWITHIT, among others, Hill’s infectious “indie house” sound is continually hooking in listeners and expanding his global audience.
In February 2023, Hill issued his first-ever label backed single, “Ascension,” via Ibiza imprint Haustronaut Recordings. Newly added to the impressive roster of FRNDS MGMT (Alison Wonderland, Crooked Colours), Hill is in the midst of rolling out his debut album, Death by Distraction. Thus far, album inclusions “Lost In My Sentiments,” “Otherside,” “Distracted,” and now “In Touch,” have landed on streaming platforms.
