I've heard that Riva are René ter Horst (DJ Zki) and Gaston Steenkist (Dobre). What I want to know is why would they want to remain so anonymous when their music is so good?? I could understand it if it was terrible!! I could understand it if they were some other big producer who wanted to try something different under a different name. Personally I had a sneaking feeling it was Armin van Buuren! Their identity is even concealed on their record label's website. Anyone got any ideas?

Riva is just Jon Riva, another great dutch producer He's been on television here because of the song with Dannii... I've heard he also uses the name DJ Manta, but I'm not sure about that...

Really? I know that John Riva is written on the vinyl but I was told that the producers I mentioned before were Riva. Thanks for clearing it up anyway. I know you said that he appeared on Dutch TV but you don't by any chance happen to know why he keeps a low profile internationally? The Riva website on his record label uses phrases like 'he or she' so you don't even know whether he's male or female? What's going on?

The Sky is the limit is very good, but not as good as Stinger I dont think. Sometimes I think it almost sounds too like stinger but its still a gr8 song

Does any1 know of any remixes of it????? or any ones that have been planned? A nice remix could turn it into a classic i think

No, I don't know why he does that mysterious thing... maybe he just doesn't like publicity that much... Most likely United Recordings came up with the mysterious profile because Rive just didn't want to have such a profile... Sure United Recordings know who he is.

I think it's just a publicity stunt...

I do know that it's Jon Riva, without the h...

damn...y cant they all just use one FrEaKiN name so its all alot easier to kno whos who...LMAo...
