The Original Mix finds Raguso in peak form. Built around punchy kicks and a rolling bassline, the groove locks in immediately, driving the track forward with unrelenting momentum. Expertly chopped vocal fragments weave through the mix, adding character and energy without overwhelming the structure. It is a stripped yet powerful cut designed for late-night floors, where swing and groove take centre stage. Raguso’s trademark production touch, tight drums, clean low-end and sharp transitions make this one a sure-fire tool for DJs who favour functional yet infectious tracks.
On the remix, Mauro Novani and Federica Baby Doll flip the script. Their version leans into shimmering synth work and playful vocal edits, infusing the track with a more seductive and atmospheric vibe. Where the original hits hard and direct, the remix glides with style, adding subtle melodic flourishes that expand its reach into more melodic or warm-up sets. Together, the two versions form a well-balanced release that works across multiple moods and dancefloor moments.
With a catalogue spanning major imprints like Transmit Recordings, Trax Records, Great Stuff, Pixelate, and WyldCard, among others, Raguso continues to build on a career defined by consistency and club-focused output. Supported by heavyweights including Umek, Nicole Moudaber, Luciano and Stefano Noferini, he has earned a reputation for crafting tracks that thrive in peak-time sets.
‘Right On Time’ is another strong entry in that lineage, lean, rhythmic and full of groove. Both mixes serve their purpose: one for the underground heads-down moment, the other for DJs seeking something sleek and emotive.
With this release, Angelo Raguso shows once again why he remains a trusted name in the global tech house circuit.
