Born in the 90's and raised in Calgary, Canada, Ryan James Ford stumbled upon electronic music through the local rave and club culture. He began to explore, study, and collect the music he heard at the parties: a mix of jungle, UK hardcore, techno, house, IDM, and ambient.
Almost two decades later, Ryan has found his home in Berlin with Marcel Dettmann Records. In 2015, he made his debut on the label with an atmospheric and ambient-leaning techno EP. Although he mainly DJs and produces techno nowadays, Ryan's sets and productions are full of inspirations from his time in Calgary, where he was not only interested in electronic music, but also hip-hop, reggae, punk, experimental, and even metal. He started experimenting with production in the early 2000s, but it wasn't until 2011, when he moved to Berlin, that he started using his musical skills more seriously.
