A1. Ribé & Roll Dann - Preludio (KW35)

Tracklist: 

A1- La Penumbra
A2- El Método
B1- Las Raíces
B2- Bajo el Olivo

After his acclaimed album for us released recently, Ribé comes again into the mothership with this modular madness EP, proving again his mastery of intelligent techno and sound design.

La penumbra is the first track, as the title suggests, darkness and shadows come immediately to mind when listening to it. A solitary bass drum joined by several drones and ambiences interleaving and mutating over the arrangement.

El Método follows, electric and sharp, with repetitive modular bleeps floating over a bass heavy groove. The only additional elements are percussive and come into the track progressively until the hypnotic climax.

Flipping the record, Las Raíces introduce distortion and roughness on the equation, relying on a powerful groove soon accompanied by high pitched drones and electric synthetic washes.

Last Tune is Bajo el Olivo, liquid and elastic, with resonant bubbles going asymmetricaly on top of the rhythm with occasional percussive details going on the back. A sci-fi sequence appears in the middle of the track adding additional sound hypnosis.

No doubt that Ribé has his own trademark sound and we are really proud of having him onboard.

Ribé, the alias of Alberto Pascual, is invited for our 182th podcast. He started his musical journey in 1998 at the age of 14 when he started creating his first mixes using tape decks. A first big breakthrough happened when he first published his EP on Richie Hawtin's label Plus 8, which brought momentum to his career. His musical project took a new turn when he started exploring modular synthesis, releasing music on PoleGroup, and later, on Klockworks and Axis. Now Ribé often plays live sets using his modular synths.
This podcast is a mix of uncompromising sounds, ranging from industrial to more hypnotic textures over thick rolling basslines.

Ribé - Conflictos [GTXVA05]

ES.

Ribé nació y creció en la sierra de Madrid, en un entorno alejado de la gran urbe, rodeado de naturaleza, observando la ciudad desde las alturas bajo la luz de un manto de estrellas. 

Le encanta encerrarse en el estudio, sumirse en el caos para encontrar el equilibrio. Para eso utiliza su propio método de trabajo. Primero elige los sintetizadores, graba sin restricciones todo lo que va surgiendo, más tarde edita, secuencia y por último termina la faena mezclando. Sus 20 años trabajando con Protools, le ha transformado en un experto en la edición de audio, aprovechando y exprimiendo cada audio grabado al máximo. 

Gracias a esta disciplina Ribé ha logrado trabajos de una calidad incuestionable como Acute EP - Aine (Polegroup sub label), Harmonic Rain Ep + Tested Signal LP (Nonplus records) , Palette Ep (Warm up), Las Noches LP (Polegroup), Order in Chaos LP (Axis), Nom de Plume EP (Faut Section), Klockworks 035 - Con Roll Dann, El Camino EP (Semantica), La penumbra EP (Polegroup) y La Tempestad EP (Eartoground). Además ha colaborado con sellos como Hayes, Token, Mord, Tremsix, Non Series…

Aunque una de sus pasiones sea la producción, cuando Ribé se sube a una cabina demuestra todo su potencial. Su actitud, su ecualización, su empatía frente a la mesa de mezclas o realizando un live, le ha llevado a recorrer medio mundo siendo protagonista en clubs y festivales. Aquasella Festival(SP), Uptodate Festival (Polonia), Tresor(Berlin), RSO(Berlin), Tama(Polonia), Mondo(Madrid), Utopía(Madrid), Khidi(Georgia), Melkweg(Amsterdam), Lanna(Gijon), Garage y Razzmatazz(BCN), Metro Dance Club(Alicante), Family Club(Toledo) o Prisma(Sevilla) son algunos de los espacios donde Ribé ha dejado su marca.

El pasado año Ribé ha participado en los Showcase de Polegroup, eventos que han encandilado a los amantes de techno y que han sido alabados por la crítica especializada. Además de sus releases en Pole, ha conseguido un sueño que llevaba persiguiendo desde hace más de una década: publicar en Klockworks. 

Se podría asegurar que Ribé es techno puro, aunque hoy en día la definición de techno es un poco ambigua, Ribé sigue fiel a su sentimiento, a las raíces de este sonido.

The master of dynamic modular synthesis returns strongly to Polegroup and with nothing less than a complete album under his belt. Alberto Pascual defines with his alter ego Ribé what contemporary techno should be, direct, precise, aggressive and mental all in one.
 
In these twelve cuts that make up his new album, the producer based in the mountains of Madrid puts into operation all his knowledge of electronic machinery to develop a discourse that bears his own signature and places him among the greatest exponents of peninsular techno at the moment.
 
Unlike previous works, this time we can perceive greater harmonic and emotional content in his productions, as can be heard in the first of the album's songs, which also gives the title to the double vinyl. Here the floating synthetic strings are combined with rhythms borrowed from the motor city in an exquisite way.
 
But things quickly change context in the second of the exercises, La Rabia, whose title perfectly defines the sensations perceived when listening. Here the roots in the British tradition are clear but always under the personal prism that he always brings to his inimitable works.
 
The extreme sounds continue in Itinerario sin Click and when we are hot, we return to calm with El Sutil Arte, where crunchy textures and broken rhythms combine to create an experimental and corrosive theme, but relaxing at the same time.
 
Ellas pick up the pulse slowly, with precision scifi details to give way to El Sigilo, which definitely sounds like the best of the Birmingham sound.
100215 returns to outer space and galactic funk as a prelude to El Nuevo Mundo, a superlative exercise in emotional electronica.
 
Inercia returns to the frenetic dance and the machine slows down again in El Aire, dragging and dense the concept, flirting with the industrial sound of the pioneers of the genre.
 
The end of the sound journey is approaching with one of the most outstanding pieces of the album, Avenidas, which is a perfect minimalist tool for risky mixes.
 
We Finish the trip with El Entusiasmo, a perfect techno anthem with all the necessary ingredients to demolish any qualified dance floor.

WAYS invites RIBÉ | Podcast #007

Ribé was born and raised in the mountains of Madrid, in an environment far from the big city, surrounded by nature, observing the city from the heights under the light of a blanket of stars.

Ribé loves to lock himself in the studio, he loves to immerse himself in chaos to find balance.
For this, he uses his own working method. First he chooses the synthesizers, records without restrictions everything that comes up, then edits, sequences and finally finishes the job bymixing. His 20 years working with Pro Tools has transformed him into an expert in audio editing, taking advantage of and squeezing every recorded audio to the maximum.

Thanks to this discipline Ribé has achieved works of unquestionable quality such as Acute EP - (Aine, Polegroup sub-label), Harmonic Rain EP + Tested Signal LP (Nonplus records), Palette EP (Warm up), Las Noches LP (Polegroup), Order in Chaos LP (Axis), Nom de Plume EP (Faut Section), Klockworks 035 (with Roll Dann), El Camino EP (Semantica), La penumbra
EP (Polegroup) and La Tempestad EP (Eartoground). He has also collaborated with labels such as Hayes, Token, Mord, Tremsix, Non Series...

Although one of his passions is production, when Ribé climbs into a booth he shows his full potential. His attitude, his equalization, his empathy in front of the mixer or performing live, has led him to travel half the world being a protagonist in clubs and festivals. Aquasella Festival (Cangas de Onis, Spain), Uptodate Festival (Bialykstok, Poland), Tresor and RSO (Berlin, Germany), Tama (Poznan, Poland), Mondo and Utopía (Madrid, Spain), Khidi (Tbilisi, Georgia), Melkweg (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Lanna (Gijón, Spain), Garage and Razzmatazz (Barcelona, Spain), Metro Dance Club (Alicante, Spain), Family Club (Toledo, Spain) or Prisma (Seville, Spain), are some of the spaces where Ribé has left his mark.

Last year Ribé participated in the Polegroup Showcase, events that have dazzled techno lovers and have been praised by the industry critics. In addition to his releases on Pole, he has published on Klockworks, one of the most important international labels, directed by Ben Klock.

One could say that Ribé is pure techno, although nowadays the definition of techno is a bit ambiguous. Ribé remains faithful to his feeling, to the roots of this sound.
