Common Goldfish’s latest single, “Tottenham Ritzy”, is a vibrant throwback to the golden days of rave culture in London. The track captures the infectious energy and euphoria that defined the music scene of the ’80s and ’90s. Producer Jonty Lovell, under the moniker Common Goldfish, pays homage to the iconic Tottenham Ritzy nightclub, once at the heart of North London’s music scene.

The music video, shot on VHS, nostalgically showcases beloved venues, invoking a sense of community and joy that resonates deeply in an era of music venue closures.

Common Goldfish’s blend of genres and poignant lyrics make this release a powerful statement on the need to preserve the cultural significance of these spaces. As a local artist, Lovell’s connection to Tottenham adds a personal touch, turning the track into a tribute to a bygone era that once defined the dance floors of London.
