Paul Ritch Artist Bio

Paul Ritch is a minimal techno producer based in Paris who quickly rose to international renown in 2007 after making his production debut only a year earlier.

Ritch is most closely affiliated with Resopal Schallware, the label founded by German tech house duo MRI. He made his production debut on Resopal Schallware in 2006 with the Samba EP; subsequent releases on the label include Winter Ceremony (2007), Natural Gun (2007), and Summer Ceremony (2007). Also in 2007 he released EPs on a number of other labels, including a pair on Get Physical Music (Fortuna, June), one on Fumakilla (Back to the Time), one on Paradigma Musik (Higher), and one on MiniSketch (Nordbanhof); plus, that year his productions were featured on at least nine different mix albums, including John Digweed’s Transitions, Vol. 3, Gui Boratto’s Addicted, Vol. 2, Layo & Bushwacka!’s Global Underground: Rio, and M.A.N.D.Y.’s Ibiza ‘07.

He also somehow found time in 2007 to release the Le Bal Masqué EP, a collaboration with fellow producer Okain under the Handycraft alias, on the Kickboxer label.
