Biography
Riccardo Ferri was born in Florence in 1975. Classically trained on Piano and with studies in electronic he has found his place in techno music.
After some experiences with a rock band in 1994 Riccardo began working with his mentor Stefano (Sandy) Dian in a studio in Vicenza, starting a new techno/trance label called Magnetik.
Gianni Agrey Experimental EP was Riccardo's first released techno production.
In June 1995 his music attracted the attention of Mauro Picotto, who loved his work and immediately asked him to join him in Media Records, concentrating on a harder concept. His arrival in 1996 convinced Media to release more underground tracks. The first record, Mauro Picotto The Test (UND 001), a techno bass-line track, was created for the new label Underground. The team was made by Riccardo, Mauro, and another musician Andrea Remondini. Guest producers, including the best techno/trance Italian DJs such as Mario Più, Gabry Fasano, Joy Kitikonti, Ricky Le Roy, Bismark, Saccoman, Tony H and some foreign djs like DJ Gee, Simon Foy and Marco Zaffarano, came in weekly to work on their projects.
Riccardo's productions gained worldwide consensus with the release of Lizard in 1998 and the follow up releases such as Pulsar, Iguana, and Komodo. He was in most cases more inclined towards the b-side mixes to give a more underground feel to the productions. Riccardo was co-author of lot of BXR,Underground and Sacrifice releases between 1996 and 2001.
In 2002, Riccardo and Mauro left Media Records to focus more on their productions. They went on to create Bakerloo, incorporating Meganite and the label Alchemy. After having released the Alchemist EP on Primate Recordings, their new imprint Alchemy brought further major releases.
In the following years, Riccardo became more and more interested in creating a live performance. He starts remixing his own tracks live using Mixer, sampler and some synthesizers.The LIVE show, already a success in Italy, was exclusively launched in the UK @ Gatecrasher on the 25th of May 2002 at the Republic. Further appearances at Gatecrasher London, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, Creamfields in Ireland and Amnesia Ibiza, the much talked about Mysteryland Festival in Holland and Godskitchen Global Gathering gave his name recognition amongst clubbers and djs alike. Other performances saw Riccardo bring his live set to Zurich, Los Angeles, Bogotá, Barrenquilla, Cali, Medellin, and Quito amongst others.
In the summer of 2004, Meganite landed a weekly residency in Privilege, Ibiza. The closing party live set marked the end of the live concept used until then, due to major wear to the machines through frequent travelling. This gave Riccardo the idea for a new concept of live performance and he began programming a custom live machine made with Native Instruments Reaktor.
Production wise, Riccardo continues to be responsible for nearly every production released on Alchemy, with both solo work and collaborations with other Alchemy artists.

Some comments: Carsten Rausch: The Da Trash Remix is a cool piece of percussive Techno. I will definetely play that. Dave James: Yeh I like the original trippy vocals. Galuszka: Tantrum Light offers a track that is straight up techno. The mood of the original mix is very Terminator 2 (Judgment Day) in its vocal work and sound choice. The remixes of this project ad funk, especially the Da Trash remix with it's rolling quality. Bodgan Taran: I just love the melody on Zimaleto remix of LSD Island. The Reddman: I listened all the remixes and was very impressed! I have to say I just loved the Paul Hunter remix of the LSD Island track. There was something about it that just kept the groove going for me. Moog Conspiracy (Elektrotribe / Buena Onda): I ll play Tantrum light - Da Trash remix. Marc Fuccio (Fresh DJS): Favoutite mix is Paul Hunter remix. Wicked groove of a bass line that instantly got me to my feet. Great production and construction.

Hello, Rpo Sound 2009 By Rick Pier O'Neil Compilation Mixed & Unmixed - Exclusive unreleased tracks Exclusive in Beatport Store http://www.beatport.com/labels/rpo+records Click on link To listen Or Buy Our Music Bye Rpo
This is the next release by PERCENT RECS. It was given to the very young producers from Italy - Aumrec.
The duo's distinctive mark in this release is their eccentric sound.
They create their sound under the influence of the artists Umek, Sven Väth, Jeff Mills... and will skillfully present it to the audience in the future.
It would be difficult to determine the exact category of these artists' music.
Deep, experimental, acid-minimal and techno are just a very small part of Aumrec's sounding in this release.
They boldly introduce to us their vision of contemporary electronic dance music. Aumrec's sounding is partly modern and brave but they've put a light, interesting flavour of the good, old Detroit techno.
This release is just for you if you happen to like either Cristian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm or Pacou.
You will have the opportunity to buy PERCENT RECS 03 from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores starting from 10 November 2009.
