Outlaw by Riko (Free Style Listen HS 100 by FSL - 2009)


Issu d’une famille de musiciens, il se passionne très tôt pour le son. Il commence par les percussions, accompagnant les « boeufs » familiaux et amicaux.

En 2010, il fait ses premiers pas dans l’univers des free-parties. Séduit par cette énergie et ses sonorités, il s’y plonge pleinement. Après quelques expériences en live avec la Korg EMX et sur contrôleur, il ne trouve pas encore l’étincelle… jusqu’en 2013, lorsqu’il pose enfin ses mains sur son premier vinyle. La révélation est immédiate : le mix devient naturel, fluide, évident.

Dès 2014, il perfectionne son art sans relâche. Curieux et ouvert à différents styles, il façonne son identité autour de kicks ronds et puissants, enrichis de mélodies planantes et de textures virevoltantes. Ses sets, entièrement vinyles, racontent des histoires : des voyages sonores entre énergie brute et nappes aériennes, où chaque transition est une nouvelle émotion à partager.

“A noi piaceva fare queste cose, ma non avevamo ambizioni. [...] Per noi la musica era la prima ragione di vita." ('Rave in Italy', Pablito El Drito - AgenziaX)

Originally from Paris, Riko discovered electronic music in the mid 90’s. Within a short time he was into the parties in his region always in the search of new sounds.

In 2003 with some friends he bought his first turntables and a sound system. The Teklicit Crew was born ! At that time the parties were non stop, but each one was unique. The group’s reputation continued to grow and Riko quickly became known for his original danceflloor style sound, a mixture of old school style and an explosive tribecore. More and more ravers came to dance to his mix set and the download on the website www.teklicit.net went shooting up! It is in this atmosphere that he met up again with his childhood friend, Floxytek, who inspired him to go into production and CAM.

In 2006 he brought out his first maxi on the Kryzalide label and was quickly contacted by influential record labels such as freestyle listen records, Undergroud Records, ES Prod; Skwat Records; Astrofonik...

In 2008 with the arrival of Billx in the crew, Riko and the other menbers of the group, decided to create their own label. Teklicit Marsatek Records came into being!
