the highly anticipated new album from rival consoles aka ryan lee west. limited pressing on clear vinyl.

london-based electronic songwriter ryan lee west’s most personal work to date comes in the form of a mini-album titled night melody.

rival consoles is electro acid-smith ryan lee west from leicester. influenced by impressionists like claude debussy and modern electronic artists such as autechre and squarepusher, he created his unique signature. a playful and brutal mix of idm acid beats and warm, emotive synth string arrangements. in february 2017 he released and toured the more quirky vemeer ep under his second musical alias aparatec, which sold like hot cakes and earned him a lot of fans. the 10 inch vinyl includes a download code.

continuing on from his odyssey ep released in 2013, ryan lee west aka rival consoles creates atmosphere and space whilst exploring waves of sound and rhythm, and the power of colour. with sonne ryan creates music to structure itself around a pulse, rather than the pulse being the defining point.

like many electronic artists, ryan lee west aka rival consoles spent his early years experimenting with idm, glitch and dance, but one consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. through these experimentations he has found a process of producing electronic music that feels close to this urge. west engages his hands directly with instruments and is very selective about what he then records into the computer. he reduces musical parts even further, leaving enough space around the sound for it to breath.
odyssey is a reflection of west’s quest to create atmosphere and space from minimal arrangements. ‘i don’t like music to sound overly laboured, so i restrict how much is going on. i’m kind of obsessed with the idea of reduction.’ this 5-track ep was mastered by naweed.

standard pressing on black double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included. ryan lee west aka rival consoles presents his expressive new album ‘persona’, set for release via erased tapes. the title ‘persona’ was inspired by ingmar bergman’s film of the same name, specifically a shot in the opening credits of a child reaching out to touch a woman’s face on a screen, which is shifting between one face and another. this powerful image struck ryan and it inspired the album’s main theme — an exploration of the persona, the difference between how we see ourselves and how others see us, the spaces in between, between states, people, light and dark, the inner persona and the outer persona.

schnell vergisst man, dass rival consoles das erste signing auf erased tapes war. mit einer handvoll demos inspirierte ryan lee west einst robert raths im februar 2007 zur label-gründung. nun erscheint das neue album des in london lebenden produzenten. es trägt den namen *howl*. die neun tracks des albums erforschen ein weites spektrum an emotionen, das von dissonanten eruptionen und ursprünglichen rhythmen im titelstück bis zu schwermütigen improvisationen in *3 laments* reicht. ein lange gereiftes, sehr persönliches und dunkel klingendes album.
das doppel-vinyl erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

elektro-beats und warme melodien für fans von daft punk, justice, digitalism und squarepusher.
