Rich Furniss, Proper Villains, and Valerie Valentine Introduce Space Wave Records with Bang It

Reputable Brooklyn producer Rich Furniss has stepped into label ownership with Space Wave, popping things off with ‘Bang It’, a collaboration featuring Proper Villains, Valerie Valentine and SIIMBIIE LIIVES LONG that dropped July 31st.

The track makes a strong first impression, combining Furniss’s house sensibilities with some serious production weight. His resume backs up the ambition—over 800,000 Spotify streams, releases on labels like Jack City and Purple Tea, plus a #2 Beatport hit with ‘Sunshine’. He’s shared stages with Derek Carter, Never Dull, Ghettoblaster, and Illyus & Barrietos, and played festivals including Elements Festival. His role at Quincy Boy Records shows he understands both sides of the business.His role at Quincy Boy Records shows he understands both sides of the business.

Proper Villains brings the underground credentials. Jonathan Shulman has been working New York’s bass scene for years, blending dubstep and electro-house with the kind of edge that keeps him booked. Valerie Valentine rounds out the trio with her vocal work and growing reputation in the electronic scene.

‘Bang It’ finds the sweet spot between underground grit and broader appeal. It’s built for club systems but polished enough for festival stages. The track’s retro-inspired visuals—soft pastels mixed with vinyl motifs—suggest these artists aren’t just chasing current trends.

Space Wave’s first release feels intentional rather than rushed. With this foundation, Furniss has positioned his label for growth while giving fans a taste of what’s coming next from this creative partnership.
