On September 30, 2025, Vonenzo Baschello released “Do Things”, a dance single featuring the vocal talents of Desiree Ritchie. The track stands as a testament to what happens when two distinct creative energies meet in the studio and find a common frequency.
But the song is older than the release date suggests. “Do Things” originated in November 2022 — on the day Vonenzo and Desiree Ritchie first met. What ended up on streaming platforms nearly three years later was born in that first encounter, before either of them had any reason to think it would become a release at all.
The Track
“Do Things” arrives as a Radio Edit — tight, focused, and built for the dancefloor. The collaboration with Desiree Ritchie brings a complementary vocal texture to the production, weaving through the arrangement with the kind of presence that turns a good track into one you remember.
The single is distributed across all major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and others — making it accessible to Vonenzonians worldwide.
Behind the Collaboration
The vocal on “Do Things” wasn’t planned in a studio session — it was captured in the moment. Desiree Ritchie was visiting on a Saturday afternoon in November 2022 — the day the two of them first met. Vonenzo put the track on, and she started freestyling over it right there.
“She started to freestyle, and I asked her to hit record — because you know, sometimes as artists we don’t think to record, and then we miss beautiful vocal and lyric ideas.”
Vonenzo Baschello
That instinct to capture the moment is what turned an afternoon freestyle into the vocal take on the record. Desiree Ritchie adds a distinct layer to the track — a vocal delivery that sits comfortably in the dance genre pocket but brings its own signature. The collaboration reflects Vonenzo Baschello’s ongoing commitment to working with artists who bring something real to the table.
There is a broader lesson in that afternoon, and it is one worth repeating to any producer reading this. The take that ends up on the record is very often not the one that was rehearsed. It is the one that happened while nobody was treating it as important. The only skill involved is recognising it in the moment and having the presence of mind to press record before the room moves on.
Why the Radio Edit Format Matters
Dance music has a long tradition of the radio edit as a separate craft. The extended mix is built for the DJ — long intro, patient build, room to blend. The radio edit is built for the song: the hook arrives early, the arrangement earns its three and a half minutes, and nothing waits for a context that may never come.
Releasing “Do Things” in the radio edit form is a deliberate choice rather than a compromise. It puts the vocal and the central idea in front of the listener immediately, which is exactly where a collaboration between two voices should live. The track does not need eight minutes to make its case.
Where It Sits in the Catalogue
For Vonenzo Baschello, “Do Things” is part of a broader creative arc — one that has produced tracks ranging from the introspective (“I’m Lonely,” 2019) to the collaborative (“Seasons Change” with Leo Brenin, 2024) to the freshly released (“No Better,” July 2026). Each release adds a new dimension to a growing catalog that spans more than a decade.
What makes this one distinctive is its temperature. Where much of the catalogue is reflective, “Do Things” is uncomplicated in the best sense — it wants to move a room, and it says so plainly. That range is the point. An artist who can only do one thing is a specialist; an artist who can do several is a catalogue.
