RIVAL CONSOLES is youthful purveyor of intelligent dance music Ryan Lee West. With his highly anticipated debut album, West, the first born and long-standing artist on Erased Tapes , has crafted an electronic record to transcend the discerning and flirt a little with the club culture of summer 2009. I?II?III?'IO' ! West strives to humanise and at the same time emphasise entirely computerised sounds to defy categorisation in modern electronic music. Rival Consoles combines a clever and complex mix of hard-hitting beats with catchy acid melodies. Or as he describes it in his own words: 'Rival Consoles is a musical project where I take ideas which are cheap and processed, and combine them with rich, unpredictable patterns ? resulting in music which appears commercial yet typically against commercial music at the same time.' For fans of: Daft Punk, Justice, Digitalism, Squarepusher or AFX. Official Websites: myspace.com/rivalconsoles wwww.erasedtapes.com Show more
