KOLO55’s Paul Ritch grew up in Paris going to Laurent Garnier’s all-nighters at Rex Club, watching Claude Young scratch with his elbow and Richie Hawtin throw vinyl on the floor. This raw and scruffy techno education shows in everything he makes.

Nineteen years into a career built on harmonic, groove-driven techno, he opened a new door. KOLO55 is his new moniker for a harder, faster, stronger techno. More chaotic, 909-driven and unafraid of loops colliding with breaksy machine-funk at full throttle. Perfect for a dark basement at 4am.

Full speed ahead! You’ve been warned.
