Constructor is a hulk of an album. This is the kind of debut record that sends artists spiraling to the top of their genre. I would even go so far as to say that in Constructor, Riktam & Bansi truly epitomize the genre of psytrance as I would have it were I responsible for creating genre definitions. The beats are driving, captivating, and they take you on an adventure. From the moment that you play the title track you will start dancing, and you will not be able to stop until the music nods its head in silence, telling you, “it's okay now.” Sweet Seek delivers you to what you’ve been looking for in EDM like Indiana Jones on antiquities, and The Mask takes one or two samples from the epic and eponymous movie of our childhoods. If you like psytrance, techno, or tech house, get this album. If you don’t, get it anyway; this is one for the generations.

Riktam & Bansi "Constructor" Original Mix

DJ lyonnais // progressive trance // minimal techno // full on
heavy punchy jumpy bassline & melodic dancing grooves

Riktam & Bansi have come to be known under a variety of monikers over the last decade, having achieved their greatest success so far under their Growling Mad Scientists project, with a total of eight artist albums, tracks appearing on over 150 releases and more than 200,000 album sales, their studio wizardry is unquestionable.

Normally known for a more driving sound, the “Riktam & Bansi” project sees them embark in a different direction, towards a style which encompasses a slower more groove-oriented techno backbone. While retaining all of their flavor for the dancefloor, their productions as Riktam & Bansi show the breadth and diversity of their studio skills, without losing any of their unique take on melody or sound construction.

Riktam & Bansi’s ‘Green Space’ was their debut release as this project and reaching number 2 in the Top Download charts at Beatport while simultaniously dominating the Beatport Prog House charts with 4 tracks in the Top Ten, including a number 1 placement held over months, and their releases are already receiving huge support from respected artists like Moguai, Nick Warren, Groove Armada, Eric Prydz, Amo & Navas and D-Nox to name only a few.
