Rio - Im Comin Home

Review by Sebastián Cardoso

Album Review: "I'm Comin' Home" by Rio – A Timeless Electronic Journey Released in 1992, I’m Comin’ Home by Rio is a gem from the golden era of electronic music. With its roots firmly planted in the UK and Europe’s pulsating club scene, this album became an underground favorite thanks to Atomic Records’ sharp ear for beats that stick. The genre? Electronic, with house and breakbeat vibes flowing through every track. But what makes it stand out isn’t just the technical wizardry—it’s the raw emotion behind each mix. The credits tell a story too: K. Fitch, N. Coleman, R. Hill, and S. Hill penned the tunes, while Richard Lengyel handled engineering duties like a pro. And let’s not forget TPR Productions on production duty and The Unity Boys adding their magic touch with remixes. It’s clear there was no shortage of talent involved here. Now, onto the tracks themselves. You’ve got ten versions of “I’m Comin’ Home,” but two really stuck with me. First up, the Unity Mix. This one feels like the heartbeat of the entire project. Imagine walking into a dimly lit club where the bassline hits you instantly, wrapping itself around your shoulders like a warm hug. There’s something hypnotic about how the percussion builds, layering rhythms until you’re completely lost in the groove. If I had to pick my desert-island version of this song, this would be it. Then there's the De Janero Mix. Oh man, this one flips the vibe entirely. It brings a tropical flair—a little samba kick mixed with those signature breakbeats—that somehow still feels rooted in '90s rave culture. It’s playful yet deep enough to keep your head nodding for hours. Honestly? I didn’t expect such a bold twist when I first heard it, but now I can’t imagine the album without it. What strikes me most about I’m Comin’ Home is how versatile it is. Whether you’re after pure dancefloor energy or stripped-down acapellas (yes, they included two!), this record delivers. Sure, some might argue that having so many remixes could feel repetitive, but honestly, each mix adds its own personality. They don’t just rehash—they reinvent. Reflecting on this album, it’s kinda wild to think about how much has changed since ‘92. Back then, DJs were spinning vinyl in sweaty basements, and digital streaming wasn’t even a dream. Yet here we are decades later, still talking about these tracks. Maybe that’s proof of great art—it doesn’t age; it evolves. Or maybe it’s just proof that good music always finds its way back home. Anyway, if you’re into house or breakbeat—or heck, just love discovering hidden treasures from the past—do yourself a favor and check out I’m Comin’ Home. Just don’t blame me if you end up playing it on repeat all night long!

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *I’m Comin’ Home* by Rio is a hidden gem from the early '90s electronic scene. It came out in 1992 and blended house and breakbeat styles, which were huge back then. What’s cool is that it had not one, not two, but *eleven* different mixes of the same track! From dub versions to acapellas, it was like a choose-your-own-adventure for DJs and fans. The Unity Boys even jumped in for a remix, adding their own flavor to the mix. Released on Atomic Records in the UK and Europe, this album was a team effort, with credits showing how much work goes into making music that grooves just right.
