After a superb live performance at Drumcode's recent warehouse party in London, Frenchman Paul Ritch delivers his follow up EP for the Swedish imprint in January with 'Spoke'. 

'Spoke' takes in three tracks, two of which will grace vinyl and a third which will remain a digital exclusive, which all see the producer roll out the sort of pristine production and subtly off-kilter grooves that has endeared him to many.

I would say "Circus EP" is a bit groovier than previously. I've been working a lot more with bass. Before, my music was more minimal with a shuffle techno vibe but for this release I didn't do any shuffle. I guess you could call this my new sound. It's in between tech house and techno. The bass is more housey anyway, but the energy is still techno.

Paul Ritch presents his new EP &gt;Secret Garden&lt; and celebrates 3 years of his own Quartz Rec. After 20 releases the label has stablished itself as a leading force in the techno scene and this new 3 tracks will raise the bar even further.

Atmospheric sounds, hybrid textures and organic layers laced with broken voices and bonded all together to generate the required voltage for each of the 3 cuts to be dance-floor explosive hymns. A delight!

Paul Ritch, a prolific artist, has taken the Minimal scene by storm both on the decks and as a producer.  From his beginnings, everything he’s touched has turned into musical gold. His first EP, Samba (Resopal 2006), marked the launch of an extraordinary succession of masterpiece releases. Samba Ep proved to be only the beginning and was an EP that showed for the first time his powerful, harmonic, and deep techno, his unique touch of minimalism marked by his true signature, one that has projected him, ever since, to international acclaim.

The vibrant offshoot of Davide Squillaces Sketch music architecture steps up onto the plate for a home run battering! This cut comes with none other than Paul Ritch himself.

Nordbahnof is quite lower, but with a wicked synth that pitches throughout the track. Murder is a train running in your mind, after an amazing break that only Paul Ritch is able to create, your mind will be blown by an amazing bassline, mixed with stunning FXs and great grooves. 
A spectacular EP, created to make history and supported by artists such as Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola and Loco Dice, among others.

Paul Ritch and his Quartz Music label return with a very special treat! The first release on Quartz was Paul’s own “Split EP”. The response to the music on this EP was incredible. Not only from specialists, but also from the public. How do you improve on the package? 

Well, draft in one of the biggest names in world of techno to not only provide a remix, but take the two biggest tracks from the release, combine them, and remix the mutant offspring. Indeed! This is just what Dubfire has done. Taking &gt;Walk The Line&lt; and &gt;Split&lt;, melting them together, and then reworking them to provide what will, from now, and forever more, be known as.... the &gt;Split The Line - Dubfire Mega Remix.&lt; 2008 proved to be a wonderful year for Dubfire. His releases and remixes filled the top spots in many end of year charts. No more than they deserved.

Paul Ritch @D-EDGE Festival 13/06/2020

Paul Ritch’s productions and performances, characterised by his powerful and harmonic techno with a touch of pure emotive soul, represent his true signature sound – the one that has projected him to global recognition.

In 2007, Paul Ritch took the techno scene by storm both on stage and as a producer. Ever since, Paul has been defined by his passionate musical rhetoric, projected in releases for labels like Drumcode, SCI+TEC, Saved, Cocoon Recordings, Soma Records and Bpitch Control, among many others, and remixes to classic tracks such as Ondu, Positive Education,Tropical Melons, Remainings III, Magic K, The Test and I’m Burning Inside. References that have led him to be included among Resident Advisor’s all-time Top 100 charted artists.

In 2008, Paul brought to life his own imprint, Quartz Rec, conceived as a platform of artistic expression for showcasing cutting-edge techno sounds and a broad vision of electronic music. With its first release, “Split EP Part 1” (Paul Ritch, 2008), the label held a top 2 position on Beatport ́s Techno chart. And following hot on the heels of its fifth birthday, Quartz Rec has already published original tracks and remixes from Okain, Paco Osuna, Nic Fanciulli, Thomas Muller, Barem, Carlo Lio, Dubfire, 2000 and One, Onno, Cuartero and Anton Pieete.

Ritch’s musical delirium and his creativity on stage are two of his unique trademarks and these have been witnessed in his live performances on four continents including clubs such as Amnesia, Space and Pacha in Ibiza, Fabric and Egg Club in London, Womb and Circus in Tokyo, Berghain and Watergate in Berlin, Goa in Rome and Madrid, Rex Club in Paris, among many others.

He has also performed at festivals including Time Warp (Holland and Germany), Monegros (Spain), Awakenings, Voltt Open Air and ADE (Holland), SW4 (UK), Neo Pop Festival (Portugal), Hyte Park Festival (NYC), Amore Festival (Italy), BPM (Mexico) and WMC (Miami).
2014 was a year in which Paul continued to excel and reinvent himself with his very own musical mindset, and without a doubt, 2015 will be transcendental for Ritch as he looks to keep growing and achieve even greater goals.
