| With everyone still buzzing from RithmaÆs Om release, here comes |
| another slab of pure deepness. ôGypsie Danceö got a great |
| reaction down at WMC and itÆs easy to hear why: pure class on all |
| three mixes, including DEMARKUS LEWISÆ magical touch. The A-side |
| cut is gorgeous, classic Paper Recordings-styled deep house with |
| a haunting horn line and some nice dubby elements. On the B-side |
| the drums are chunked up a bit and the French spoken word vocal |
| gets prominent play ( MOISTURE CONTROL mix) - 3 cuts in all on |
| this quality package, all of this quality package, all of them |
| hypnotizing, enchanting stuff ! |

| ABOUT RITHMA: |
| |
| The slogan on his business card reads ôBetter Friends Through |
| Music Since 1979.ö There could not be a more appropriate motto |
| for this twenty-three year old prodigy of the sonic sort. To his |
| credit are nearly twenty productions and remixes on labels |
| including Aja, Beau Monde, Fiji, Terraform and Tweekin. This |
| spring will mark a milestone in his young career as Music |
| Fiction, his first full-length, is released on the illustrious Om |
| Records, the label that Rithma lovingly refers to as ôhomeö. |
| |
| Born Etienne Stehelin, Rithma was raised and continues to reside |
| in Topanga Canyon, a small, rural community outside the hustle |
| and bustle of Los Angeles. His mother was a musician in the |
| sixties and seventies, performing in front of thousands at the |
| Grand Hotel. From her, the young Etienne learned the piano and |
| picked up on singing as well. He classifies his early influences |
| as classic rock and roll, specifically citing groups like Led |
| Zeppelin and Little Feet. Around the age of thirteen, Etienne |
| began playing the guitar and, by sixteen, had his own rock band |
| called Waffle. He fondly remembers gigs at the famed Whiskey and |
| Roxy on Sunset Strip when his hair was longer and groupies |
| flocked. In high school, Etienne obtained his first techno tapes |
| from his friend and future partner Scott Findley; he would fall |
| asleep to the music of Jason Blakemore, Jesse Brooks and the |
| like. ôI fell in love with the music long before I knew what it |
| was about,ö he remembers. ôI knew that it was what I had been |
| looking for.ö He discovered raves in the mid-nineties, but |
| unusually, instead of deciding to purchase turntables and begin |
| playing records, he determined that he would make his own music. |
| ôI thought production was the only way to go,ö says Etienne. |
| |
| Soon afterward, he sold his Volkswagen bug and, with his fatherÆs |
| help, purchased his first keyboard. His next acquisition would |
| be a sampler, eventually followed by one turntable with which he |
| would mix records with his own productions; these first tapes |
| were made under the moniker Rhythmic Mind. It was not until 1998 |
| that he would direct serious attention to DJing. On an |
| acid-infused hike in the wilderness, the name Rithma was born. |
| Continuous solo studio experiments eventually prompted pressings |
| of Rithma 001 and Rithma 002, the latter of which garnered some |
| attention from New YorkÆs Under Cover Music Group (UCMG) and led |
| to his first legitimate release in 2000, which he produced with |
| Scott Findley. Since then, there have been numerous productions |
| on the aforementioned labels and an accompanying DJing career |
| that has taken him to many destinations in the Western United |
| States as well as abroad to far off countries like Lithuania. |
| |
| After only minimal interactions with the man called Rithma, it is |
| obvious that he is one of the few free spirits remaining in dance |
| music today. His silly yet mature persona enables him to enjoy |
| life, love people and remain content while quietly taking house |
| music to the next level. He clearly falls slightly left of the |
| center, not only in his presentation of records as a DJ, but |
| perhaps more prominently, in his efforts as a producer. |
| Incorporating the psychedelic elements of his self-proclaimed |
| second home of San Francisco with organic instrumentals and his |
| own down-to-earth vocals, time and again he achieves a unique |
| balance of dance floor concoction and pure listening pleasure. |
| His upcoming full-length effort, Music Fiction, surpasses all of |
| his projects to date. ôFiction is the idea of creating imaginary |
| things,ö Rithma says. ôI suppose music is that in the first |
| place, but I really tried to make this album a whole story as one |
| piece rather than just a bunch of tracks.ö The intermingling of |
| brief instrumental compositions with atypical house, varying |
| electronic grooves and an undercurrent of funk and melody mesh |
| fluidly together painting a picture of rare sonic beauty; it is |
| apparent that Rithma is musically wise beyond his years. |
| |
| Rithma smiles gleefully at the fact that Om has embraced him with |
| such open arms. ôI love Om,ö he says simply. ôIt just feels |
| like such a family. IÆm offered general creative freedom with |
| the constant opportunity to improve on everything I do.ö Though |
| he is not a planning man, there will be at least one more full |
| length for Om in the near future. |
| |
| But for now, he is enjoying living in the moment, often pinching |
| himself when he ponders the success he has attained thus far. ôI |
| used to wonder what it would be like for this music to be your |
| entire life; now it is,ö he says. ôItÆs still difficult for me |
| to believe. |
