Rival Consoles

Support: Transient Lines

Der in London ansässige Produzent Ryan Lee West, besser bekannt unter dem Namen Rival Consoles, ist bekannt dafür, Synthesizer menschlich und atmosphärisch klingen zu lassen. Mit der Veröffentlichung seiner Odyssey- und Sonne-EPs in den Jahren 2013 und 2014 begann West, sich einen Namen für durchdachte elektronische Musik zu machen, die ein breiteres Spektrum an musikalischen Ideen abdeckt.
