riCo LaForetMagik's Early works...Yeah, my 'Early tracks', from 2012-2018.
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 added some tracks in february 2023...because there is still room to upload !!

Roboctopus Porn - Mind Contrast

I wont be around for a while so i thought i leave something here ! Going to be released at twenty-five records sooon !! Varazslo - Through Hellfire EP

Varazslo & Flavor Aid - Spritzen Spritzen 220 bpm

A recent track, between Darkpy, forest, darkprog with slower Bpm like psy progressve or downtempo as it is at 128.Bpm. Unlike most darkpsy forest style it is very melodic...as a progressive track I tried to make it slowly gradualy deveop from a darkly begining to a ligher melodic ending...it was the concept from starting this particulary "special" track I should say...
If you don't like dapkpsy or gloomy forest style, give it a try, because the first part is like classic darkpsy but melodies grows towards the lights...a totally different universe when the final drop gradually arrives like the rising stars...

Just enjoy....

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 long and 'complex' italo / synthwave track full of nostalgia from the sound of the 80's with a modern approach I would say...I only used contemporary synths ( no hardware unfortunately...) and not tried to emulate the classics 80's drums sounds too...
There's a lot of melodies, arpeggios, synths...the composition and above all the arrengement gave me a lot of work to complete a coherent tune without being boring...I was just a young producer at that time and was searching new  technics, ideas and learning sound design and music production, it was in 2014...
Hope you enjoy !

🔱NoePagan's Kindred Spirit🔱

Neopaganism attempts to blend original tribal faith, practices and belief system from past with new age beliefs while consciously striving to eliminate most of the  traditional western mono and dualism. In line with the vision of this music release, a few  individuals hailing from different parts of planet earth and claiming to be neopagans are now coming together to share their learning, beliefs and knowledge and express them through their audio and musical language. Each of the neopagans will express themselves in their own special way through dark and/ or psychedelic music and will take the listeners through a journey of emotions, feelings and realizations.

Yoshua E.m - Ancient Rituals In Neo Times

Forum - Little Island (Adrian Marth Edit)

Artist: John Parsley, Bird of Paradise
Track: Coin Crash
Label: Playground Records
Format: Digital
Release date: 21/12/20
Purchase: https://playgroundrecordsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/coin-crash-inc-bird-of-paradise-local-suicide-time-to-sleep-remixes

John Parsley makes his first appearance on Playground Records to mark an Ep that kicks the board and leaves a musical riot of unusual dimensions. 3 originals and 2 remixes from Bird Of Paradise and Local Suicide & Time To Sleep giving a roam without letup.
Bird of Paradise is the first guest to make a remix and gives us a different version of ‘Coin Crash’, although equally club bomb, he offers us a completely different soundscape. Supported by the bass of the original they take us on a journey of crossed chord keyboards but totally harmonic in their dissonances. A ping pong of a constant acid modulation that opens and closes towards the sides makes us move our heads without respite. Tasty sweet and sour.

PREMIERE #1357 | John Parsley - Coin Crash (Bird Of Paradise Mix) [Playground Records] 2020

❖ Tanto Amore 🇮🇹 2012 

▷ The Tune, The First One !...An early track from 2012 made with almost nothing, I mean, at that time, as a graphic artworker, I always loved learning new techniques, tools, softwares, apps...after learning various music instruments (bass, guitar, melodica, percs and so on...), digital music production was new and fun for me... I was just trying to make the 'music' sounds good...so I tried differents genres (dub, steppa, electro, downtempo, disco, dark minimal, progressive musics, psychedelic all-genres but definetly deeply influenced by italo, 80's, minimal synth and horror disco...)
This tune of  italo style is what I call 'The Start' for me.
I really feeled it through the process, and it took only a couple of days to make it. I knew I found some good vibes, but it was not really what I wanted to 'play' at that time (I wanted darker vibes, like a lot of electro-tech sounds from the early and mid 00's. finally I realized that I had, without really wanting to, expressed deep feelings buried in me that came out.
Fast enough I started to appreciate the warm, nostalgic melody and the good vibes that came out of it ... But I understood my own creation which is not a randomly feelings I builded up... it is, above all, the story gradually told throughout the tune that make it 'Alive'. Quickly I found It definitely worked better than I even could expected.
I succed to translate the feelings that lived in me at that time, partly in love affair and a certain nostalgia that came out... 
By 2011 I slowly started listening and really feel the Italo disco vibes...(from the classic 80's italo classics but also more obscures italo rarities...In the same time I discovered all the 'nu italo wave' from the early 00's till now, with artists such as I-F, Alden Tyrell, Kid Machine, WLDV, Legowelt, Ali Renault, Bangkok Impact, and so many on...).
Today I still find that that this tune 'Tanto Amore' is definitely one of my best italo tune;  I have evolved a little bit since...but This track (wich had a really bad sound mix : this was not the most important thing at that time..I had so much to learn...) in a very minimalist musical format, I found, through music, how to translate the deepest feelings buried deep within Me and especially this feeling of "telling a story", express myself ("with the few skills I had from that time, the Magic happens when emotions cames out of a computer, a 'machine' with 'coding systems' I don't know how it works but I know it can comfort you, make you cry or dancing all night long ").
In other words, I just want to say that it was the first time that I clearly understood that the language of music allows me to express myself deeply in a way that I could never express otherwise ...
That's really a 'special' tune for me...

With musical Love, ♫

r¡Co - Tanto Amore

Curious music lover and collectioner...Younger I was firstly influenced by punk and hardcore, then discovered reggae & dub music universe, wich I was deeply involved 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 »
