Originally from Lille, a city in the northern part of France known for its eventful history, Alexis or Risolee is an artist governed by two intrinsic passions: painting and music, influenced by his parent's affinity and appreciation for art. 

This environment also played a role in creating an impression and kindling his artistic mind for its art exhibitions and proximity to Belgium, a country which he thoughtfully accredits in enabling his interest in Electronic music for their cordiality, passion, and good taste, reflecting on the incalculable parties he attended with friends in Brussels, Anvers, and Ghent in clubs like FUSE, and Petrol.

Alexis began the concept of "Risolee" in 2014 after moving to Paris where he began collecting records and embroiling himself further into his art. It is a project which strives to combine his efforts in music and painting, creating a harmonious link between both his processes in each medium and focusing on his ideas, values, and dreams, which are partly inspired and informed by the Surrealist movement. Risolee attempts to illustrate through his music and art that many things happen in our life that are not ruled by our consciousness, but rather by our subconscious and artists like Dali, Ernst, Escher, Magritte, Bacon and even Lynch depict this idea very well.

Risolee is an incredibly selfless, passionate person which accounts for much of the attraction he holds as well as a remarkably careful selector with excellent taste. We urge you to plunge into the sounds of Risolee for the 16th episode of our podcast series.

17 marks the number of our next RCP episode featuring a precocious Slovenian artist who with only 20 years of age has already an admirable trajectory which continues to grow steadily. His palette is wide and tasteful with just the right amount of everything, embracing all sub-genres from techno, and house to dub techno, and minimal under two aliases, KINN and TwoNones (Two Unknowns). KINN'S restless creative spirit has led him to create his own productions which have been released by underground labels all over the world such as Nada Espacial and Traza Music and his unwavering passion prompted him to conceive his own vision through a podcast label called MAVRICA, which is quickly earning itself a reputation of being one of Slovenia's most consistent underground podcast imprints. 

We exhort you to tune in and indulge in KINN'S powerful extended set consisting of stripped-down, spaced-out techno.

Based in Timisoara, Romania, Mark.x delivers almost 2 hours of fun, hard, and body-moving drum n' bass filled with subtle dualities of rhythm, speed, and texture for our 18th podcast in our mainline series. Mark.x is an amazing producer/DJ who always had a passion for music from a young age. However, it wasn't until 2016, when he discovered his country's peculiarly remarkable minimal house scene that he fell in love with electronic music and embarked into becoming an electronic music artist. With over more than 10 releases in his Bandcamp, Mark has collaborated with artists and labels such as Octave, Cozu, Inunct, Utro, Raw Russian, and more... He shows no signs of stopping and wanting to go beyond the limits he avoids being pigeon-holed into one style. Instead he identifies himself as an eclectic artist whose inherent nature is to explore and adopt different styles that mark him.

TwoNones (@2nones) is a curious but mythical DJ & Producer coming from Slovenia. Nik, also known under his main alias KINN (@kinn901) has been exploring electronic music since his early ages. He was inspired by his cousin who eventually brought him up to the scene when she brought over a pair of CDJ350s and since then, his vision toward creating an unforgiving flow of elements, materials, and other pieces has begun. His productions aren't quite common nowadays but they've been heard all over the world from his home country to another side of the Atlantic Ocean. Those events in his life changed his perspective on music and he has begun his own Podcast label under the name Mavrica, which in English means Mavrica. People were always amused by his creations and the way he tells a story in his mixes making it a road trip you never experienced before. He knew how to get people hooked to his mixes and since then he's been doing it constantly throughout his years. In today's mix, TwoNones has taken a different approach by going very un-easy Minimal which is slowly but surely expanding towards hot groovy elements of House and Deep Tech. Sit back and relax and let TwoNones's elements of surprise catch your eyes and ears and let it get to you

Omar Jimenez was born in Puerto Rico, where he became a young guitarist and music disciple. Although his early influence is progressive rock, he soon fell in love with house and techno. Omii co-runs a collective called 2210 in NYC.

As a teenager, Omii dedicated hours to studying music and practicing playing the guitar. Never settling for common sounds, he dedicated most of his time listening to complex and beautiful music ranging from Pink Floyd and Rush, to John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Omii then summoned that same meticulous selection process and musical drive when he fell in love with house and techno. He developed passion for DJing, and never looked back since. Omii began playing in Kansas City, MO, and quickly began playing around the Midwest, Puerto Rico, and New York City.

Omii's unique style is characterized by his obsession with fusing house and techno sounds that are often in direct opposition, and playing tracks that move between deep and energetic, while simultaneously maintaining a main groove that glues all these elements together. You can find him most days hard at work at his Brooklyn studio, producing events, or playing gigs.
