PRESS
"In a room full of some of the most amazing producers in my city, Ripchord’s one of those dudes who just stands out. I’ve always enjoyed it when producers are versatile and he’s the kind to beat you at your own game - frankly, that’s my favorite kind. The man pushes
boundaries and has the ability to stick to the script - that’s the kind of flexibility we need. Ripchord is a complete producer and DJ evolving everyday. I’d get familiar if you’re not up to speed." - Ameen Harron
"Ripchord is a versatile and talented artist with a natural ability to keep a dance floor going while pushing exciting new sounds.
I have stood by his abilities as a producer and performer for years now, and I'm still getting blown away every time I hear something new from him." - Das Kapital

“Ripchord is one of my favourite producers, local, international, doesn’t matter. He doesn’t play anything safe, and yet everything he does is accessible, even if it’s the first time he touched a genre”
- Omar Morto
