I'm new in the world of techno, I mean as a producer. I can clearly say that I'm not a specialist, and don't care about the trends.... but I do have some particular vibes and respect for techno music, especially some artists and labels, mainly "dub techno" and "psy techno",  wich inspired me, even when I produced retro, italo, psychedelic trance and other stuffs.... as I can feel all the potentiality for a long time,
Anyway, as I like to push the boundaries and travel trough different world, I make some few "techno" tracks, mainly melodic but started mooving toward more abstract forms as "Deep Techno" and will certainly go  through different directions soon !
So there's not that much for the moment, but severals project are in progress....I just try to bring all I have...my own vision & sensibility as far as I can go by now.....

Love & Uunderstanding

A playlist wich included "Reggae & Dub Music" related...Mostly sounds of 2024-2025, because I started producing Reggae Music in 2011 but lost a lot, and as a beginer it doesn't match with all my recents tracks you will find in this list...
There's mostly ragga and dancehall style for now, but you could find Jungle and raggatek as well...
All my influences since I started listening Reggaer & Dub, more than 30 years ago !

Love & Overstanding...

Blessings

riCo LaForetMagik's Early and recent works...The playlist is not in order of publication, not random too...Just trying to mix the differents genres in a way that please me, but I change the order frequently, so... ! 

My 'Early tracks', from 2012-2016  —  and recent works from 2023-2024.

I started interests in music production by 2011 I guess..I explored many musical genres and developed myself, listening, learning, falling...but definetly emerging sound design skills steps by steps...
As well influenced by UK Dubwise & heavyweight Dub Steppa soundsystem culture and some mixed electronic music (Trance psychedelic genres, , dark electro, progressive techno, psytek…) but above all, the sounds of the 80’s (italo-disco, dark synth, electro disco, minimal wave, horror disco and movies soundtracks like John Carpenter, of course !!...)The melodic 'Retro' inspiration mixed with nowadays electronic music is obviously a big part of the project.
Here, a selection of tracks representing a variety of all music styles I liked and mixed together...

I just added some tracks in august 2024...because I made a break in music production , wich I only made during my spare time first, as a digital artworker and video art maker I had to concentrate on my work that you can find on my Instagram (link in description) account with lot of stuff but mainly short videos with all kind of music wich inspire me, and also mine of course ! 
For a year now, I started producing music more seriously, and you can clearly hear it if you listen my old stuff from 2012 compared to my recent works...always varying the musical genres, like techno, and still better "retro" sounds mixed with nowadays electronic music...

LoVe & Understanding

Blessings !

riCo  —   Discography   ( 2012 - 2024 )

Hi everyone, I upload this short Techno track because I'm quite satisfied at this point while it is still in progress, or maybe not !

This is a Melodic Techno track (my first one...) because I'm not ready to make "pure" techno or more hard raw techno right now, it is not my culture, but I always wanna make techno...

So here is a simple track, I wanna keep it minimal but it's still a "Beta" version as it's a work in progress...

Enjoy !

riCo  –  AeroBlast

A new "version" of my track I uploaded about a month ago, w!ich, after multiple listenings, was clearly devoid of meaning and depth, for me....

So I made this "alternative version" to to dig deeper, and just  tried to make sense of it... some will say it's darker, and I agree with that... So I succeeded since the intention was clearly there...

Love & understanding

" With this song, I wished to pay a humble tribute to those Great figures of the negro african culture to wish I belong.
Mame Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba et Mame Cheikh Ibra Fall are among Humanity’s great wise men. Exceptional and exemplary beings that as a result of their devotion and continuous communion with God, prayers and studies managed to reach a High level of Consciousness some call “Illumination” and have revealed the Divine inside themselves. Such beings are sent to mankind to enlight the road of man. According to me, their wisdom belong to the heritage of mankind and to all those who search for higher levels of overstanding. "

BLESSINGS !  ✨

TIMELESS...

riCo  –  TIMELESS...

Curious & passionate music lover and vinyls collector...
Younger, as a real skateboarding addict I was firstly influenced by punk and hardcore, then later a good friend introduce me into "raggamuffin" and the early yers of hip-hop...So, even if I prefered more "speed" music I slowly enter the world behind "Reggae music & dub universe" ,  but not only musically...The "world" and people who created this "deepness", I mean the "spiritiuality" wich is the main substance coming from this "Music"...it was firstly a "revelation" , JAH RASTAFARI ! Anyway, I was deeply involved in that culture for long years... 
It took some time but I finaly widen my musical experience by discovering electronic music through dark electro from the late 90's and mainly the 'nu wave' of italo-disco' mostly coming from Netherland with artists such as I-F, Alden Tyrell, Legowelt and the Viewlexx label...
Later I honed my tastes towards progressive techno and psy-tech...
Now, since a while, my tastes moves to psychedelic trance and most of its countless sub-genres...Mainly "Night time" like twilight, darkpy, forest or experimental, but today my tastes have honed to higher Bpm's like Hitech or even psycore...the music of today and tomorrow...

As a young 'music poducer' I tried all kind of styles, but nowadays I tend to mix all those differents musical vibes to slowly deepen my own « substance »
