Light of Day is the new album from Richard Spaven.

Light of Day is the latest album from acclaimed drummer, composer, and bandleader Richard Spaven, one of the defining rhythmic innovators of modern jazz. Renowned for seamlessly blending jazz, hip-hop, drum and bass, electronic music, and club culture, Spaven has developed a distinctive musical language built around groove, space, pulse, and precision. His work alongside artists including Loyle Carner, Jordan Rakei, Petter Eldh, and Alfa Mist has established him as one of the most influential drummers of his generation.

Released by Edition Records, Light of Day marks a new chapter with Spaven stepping fully into the role of composer and bandleader. The album is constructed from the inside out, allowing rhythm to shape harmony while texture and atmosphere guide each composition. Technical mastery remains in service of emotional expression, creating music that moves effortlessly between contemporary jazz, electronic influences, and improvisation.

The result is an album of controlled intensity that balances sophistication with accessibility, presenting nine original compositions that demonstrate why Richard Spaven continues to redefine the possibilities of modern jazz drumming and composition.
