jose rico launches the le disque record stores project: ambiwa records, a label dedicated to abstract house music. * declaration of intent ep* is a collection of songs with a history, 4 pieces of his life talking about hypocrisy referred to poverty, the trivialisation of music as money source, the days in the studio with ron trent, and the night music-workers. beyond any related stories, here you can find all the jose ricos music standards: impossible mpc percussion patterns, black keys, vocal textures, distorted kicks and tons of suspence and tension. this just means… music for the most demanding dancefloors and open minds. as it could not be otherwise, masterd by jose rico.

ponsactrilau, the new label of rico puestel is setting in, coming strong and distinct! after highly acclaimed releases on pimprinella or san franciscos very own mothership, rico puestel strengthens his musical vision of deep and storytelling electronic compositions, wandering through the realms of house - represented by the two originals roja drifts by (a relentlessly inspiring and vast scenery, based on one mighty orchestral foundation) and south serpentines (a cheerful and synth-frisky journey). accompanied by timo jahns, living out his very own and unique way of a strong rhythmical presence combined with gently floating atmospheres in his interpretation of roja drifts by. sheer bliss!

do machines have soul?? jose rico and urtzi bring us the 7th downbeat release, paying homage to science fiction and exploring the relation between human beings and machines. the result is a solid exercise of researching with hardware, which brings all the label influences.jose rico is the responsible of flight to andrómeda and hiperspace, two obsessive, mechanical but full-of-feeling tracks.moreover, urtzi introduces himself with ouroboros and terra luminae, two synthetic tracks with influences from chicago sound. four dance music tracks which go straight to the heart and brain.
jose rico and dj f are responsible for the second release of eleve label, two of the heads of the madrilian emergent scene of producers. the synths and sequences of 5 minute before and la verdad show that dj f is partial to detroits flavours, specially robert hood, among many others. for the last track, out of the energy, he builds together with jose rico a gem of atmospheric analogue house with claps that remind to chicago. a productive collaboration that has just started off with this release along with freebeat 02.
after being enclosed for several years with his mpcs and synthesizers, josé rico carries out the 5th downbeat 12 inch influenced by detroit and chicago. the record starts with september rain, a classic deep house track with warm percussion, deep synths and a jazzy piano. urtzi reworks it into a mesmerizing theme with spooky synths and a naïve bassline. then its on to stage, with raw drums, hammond and keyboards somewhere between tetrode and deep transportation. the record is closed by ciclico with a super-bass and a catchy melody. absolutely hypnotic. a diverse release for deep house lovers.
in the 3rd downbeat release, the main star is the waldorf sound. this release means the debut of one of the heads of the label, jose rico. his two tracks (restructure again and >about it<) are obsessive, direct and forceful and define clearly his tastes and influences. detroit and above all, detroit. on side b, (the essential) mike huckaby gives us a bright pearl with a piano solo reminding us of his works on deep transportation. slow but sure
rico aka dinamoe sometimes really behaves like jekyll & hyde. he can t decide between mad techno tunes or easy, uplifting house music ? but at the end it is always damn hot.
>the hissing subsides< is rico puestels (also well known as dinamoe) selection of pure bliss deep house. each of the four tracks has a different potential. whilst >dammit im mad< and >carving down< go straight to the floor with pounding tech house grooves, >dler< and >i only wear this bonnet here< take the listener to the dubbier sides of house.
