Psyk is a solid staple of the current techno scene and doesn't seem to have gone off course since his precocious artistic ascension. His sets in the best clubs all over the world have helped crystallize his DJ talents making him one of the most interesting DJs on the circuit and an influent figure in a whole generation. Psyk's singularity and maturity are constantly present in his music. The versatility who characterizes his sets are also shown in his productions, from "Arcade" or "Eclipse"´s entraining feverish techno, his remix for Planetary Assault System´s track Twelve to hypnotic and deeper cuts like Lowdown for Tresor or his eps on Non Series and Semantica. In 2014 his widely acclaimed debut album "Time Foundation" is released on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver imprint and in 2019 his second album "A Moment Before" on Tresor records, same year that one of the most played EPs of the year "Natural Causes". This time in collaboration with the Spanish producer Reeko on his label Mental Disorder. In 2022 after a long collaboration during lockdown with Oscar Mulero, a new project from both under the alias "Second Skin" sees the light under James Ruskin´s infamous Blueprint Records. Like a conscientious artisan, Psyk approaches his productions with care, adding somber power and deepness through subtle touches, a process which has made him the subject of constant praise from illustrious artistic figures, be it through his offerings under the patronage of emblematic figures like Luke Slater, Len Faki, DVS1 stronghold labels Semantica and Tresor or even through his own label Non Series under his Maan alter-ego. Since its inception in 2011, Non Series has released music by strings of prominent artists from the likes of Dj Nobu, Architectural, Neel, Blawan, Luigi Tozzi, Function, Rrose... and has established itself as a reference in the Techno scene. By developing, refining and purifying his sets, Psyk is focusing all his efforts on the concretization of the ideas that agitate his mind.Their RA profile lists Tresor, CLR, Enemy Records, Mote-Evolver and 6 more.Last at public records in Apr · often with GLOBUS, TRESOR, OPAN, none of them here that night

“Ryan started his ongoing love affair with dancing and dance clubs at a young age.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Ryan started his ongoing love affair with dancing and dance clubs at a young age. But it wasn’t until moving to New York in 2006 that he took his love of the music in the direction of DJing and promoting. Noting that many of the city’s gay dance clubs were playing surprisingly homogenous music, Ryan was inspired to push that envelope. Combining forces with DJ Ron Like Hell, Ryan started DJing at “Rocket,” a party night they collaborated on at Hose in the East Village that became popular for its distinctive mix of classic and forward-thinking house and disco. Later he co-conceived and DJ’d the Soffitta70 parties at the Public Assembly Loft in Williamsburg, combining house and techno music with psychedelic art, and drawing a vibrant and eclectic young dance crowd. The sound Ryan and Ron created for these parties caught the attention of Catz ‘n Dogz, and Electronic Music Bears, and Honey Soundsystem leading to the duo's tailoring exclusive podcasts for all of them. Ryan’s penchant for soulful rhythms with a decidedly forward edge soon brought him DJ gigs in San Francisco (with Honey Soundsystem), DC at U Street Music Hall, in London (Dalston Superstore with the legendary Optimo and Vogue Fabrics with Severino, and Club Butt w/ Butt Magazine and Boris of Berghain), and in Berlin (Cocktail D’amore) as well as one of New York’s most popular dance clubs and parties, from the main floor of the legendary Saint At Large Black Party to Santos Party House and nights such as the legendary Bunker, the cutting-edge techno night in Brooklyn. As a DJ, Ryan continues pushing the dance music envelope with sweat-inducing rhythms at his latest ventures, “Wrecked,” at National Underground in New York. He’s also expanding his creative parameters as one of the founding partners of Discaire, a queer-run record label based out of NYC, San Francisco and London and booking some of the worlds most sought after underground DJ’s. And of course he keeps pushing the hip-moving musical parameters of New York’s dance clubs!Their RA profile lists Central Dogma Records.Last at BASEMENT in Jun · often with Day Thief, T.Wan, Sterling Juan Diaz, none of them here that night
