Ricky Mears and Dylan Ragland (of Party Favor) created Sidepiece (Nitti Gritti). Sidepiece, who is just over two years old, has amassed some of the most prestigious awards in dance music, including platinum and gold certifications in a dozen countries for their breakthrough single “On My Mind,” being nominated for a Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2021, being the most popular dance record in the world in 2020, and being the #1 most supported dance record in the world.|
Party Favor and Nitti Gritti, both highly regarded producers in their own right, joined forces to form SIDEPIECE in 2019. This allowed them to combine their respective styles and build a reputation for flitting between various electronic music subgenres while maintaining strong roots in the bass and trap scenes. Ragland’s genre-defying bass project Party Favor has amassed over 400 million streams and multiple chart-topping singles worldwide. Ragland has worked with artists such as Gucci Mane, Baauer, Dillon Francis, A$AP Ferg, and others. He is currently promoting his sophomore artist LP RESET through Ultra. For his work on Bad Bunny’s album “x100pre” and the song “200MPH,” Nitti Gritti has won Latin Grammy Awards and Latin Billboard Music Awards. He was also recently given the #14 slot in the list of “2020 Greatest Producers.”
