MUSAR 006EP
|
Following celebrated releases from Annie Hall, J. Wiltshire, and MANASYt Amsterdam-based MUSAR returns to Ricardo Tobar for Nadivi, two earthy electronic trips, accompanied by a bewitching remix from Legowelt. On this exciting release, Chilean-born Tobar continues his knack of blending the live tones of krautrock and electronica with a house and techno pulse, in a style not dissimilar to Luke Abbot or James Holden -- Tobar has previously released music on the latter's imprint, Border Community.

MUSAR 001EP
|
South America's finest Ricardo Tobar returns with La Condamine, an EP of melodic and cosmic electronic music adventures. "Rue Calme" is an uplifting psychedelic trip that standing exactly on the borders between the dark and the light worlds of Tobar sounds, while the title track "La Condamine" draws on influences such as Boards of Canada, Orbital, and sci-fi movies. On the remixes are Barcelona's Marc Piñol and Ulrich Schnauss. Ulrich's remix reimagines the beats in an early '90s lo-fi shoegaze version of the opening track, while Marc's remix is a floor magical journey covered by bright vocals and rich atmosphere.

COR 136EP
|
Midnight Operator picked Ricardo Tobars' "Angora" for their remix and the result appears very fresh and house-like. Their bassline programming adds a nice Italo-disco vibe to their version of "Angora". Midnight Operator remix is turning into the perfect soundtrack for the upcoming spring nights. Dial mastermind Lawrence contributes his version of "Red Light" which explores the emotional side of techno and house. We dive into deep spaces, spherical melodies and an atmosphere close to the vibe of the great works of Kraftwerk. Lawrence's "Red Light" version presents the musical side of techno to us.

COR 134EP
|
Ricardo Tobar's first remix 12" comes with two stunning rearrangements of his work by Canadian minimal techno hero Fairmont and tech house grandmaster John Tejada. Fairmont's remix of "Angora" has a strong Border Community vibe -- dark but at the same time pushing and hedonistic. Tejada's remix of "Invierno" is deeper than deep, with a pushing Detroit and KMS vibe. It's almost like a lost all-time techno and house classic.

Born in Chile and now residing in France, Ricardo Tobar picked the "creative border crossing" as the common thread for his album Collection. Musical experimentation, crossing musical borders -- Tobar refers directly to the style and sound of the great new wave bands of the '80s and '90s. With the help and influence of their new electronic instruments (often alongside classic rock guitars), the post-punk-electronic movement turned almost everything upside-down. Whether the result was moody and mysterious or romantic and hedonistic, it all sounded new and different back then and paved the musical path for a whole generation. Tobar plays with the musical approach of the post-punk era; he mixes, merges, and experiments fearlessly with styles and moods. He creates a wide range of his own styles and dives into abstract sound-fields. He breathes the air of his own musical universe, and he doesn't refer to the typical styles of this genre -- you won't find any Detroit, Berlin, or Sheffield reference here. Although produced in France, Tobar's album doesn't have anything of the sweet and lovely French touch. It also won't beam you into the north of England and the grey and cold Sheffield winter like so many other electronic albums try to do. Collection contains full compositions, sound collages, experimental sounds, and even proper beat-based tunes. Tobar doesn't produce -- he creates, and here he nonchalantly showcases his impressive range, sounding simultaneously sensitive and harmonic but also brave and dissonant while creating layered electronic atmospheres. This album is full of interesting sounds and ideas; far from boring and never too demanding. Along with its mystical, experimental side, Collection also contains energetic, trippy sounds. The expressive "Angora" is full of energy and captures the listener's imagination; "Crystal Sun" is almost like a big after-hours anthem; and with "There Is Pop" Tobar presents a strong, ripped tune, banging and challenging. There is a place for everything here in Collection, from the introduction through the main body to the ending; an album like a book. Collection's musical chapters are rich in variety, with some surprises along the way. Not just another musical-assembly-line product, Collection cannot be categorized the easy way. Tobar worked hard for this album and this is apparent from start to finish. He used his machines, synths, and computers to full effect and now presents a truly complete Collection.

DESIRE 095LP
|
Double LP version. Includes download code. Ricardo Tobar releases his long-awaited debut album Treillis on established French label Desire (Ike Yard, Monoton, Live Skull, Keluar, Deathday, Egyptology). Inspired by mysticism and noise, Ricardo uses old drum machines, analog equipment and also samples he's been storing away for years to create dirty-sounding drums and modulated synth sounds, keeping far away from the more expected and polished sounds most artists are using. In a way, his music develops the punk side of electronic music. His other inspiration on Treillis is definitely esotericism, in the way that music can profoundly touch you and transport you to another dimension. Inspired by the deepness of electronic music, his music is very intuitive, the same way Nirvana, Sonic Youth, or My Bloody Valentine were with guitars. Ricardo Tobar was born in a city called Viña Del Mar in Chile nearly 30 years ago. After two acclaimed 12"s on Border Community, James Holden's label (the beautiful El Sunset in 2007 and Boy Love Girl in 2008) followed two EPs on Traum Schallplatten (With You in 2008 and Mi Pieza Esta Llena De Cosas in 2009). In 2012 he unleashed one EP on In Paradisum (French underground label run by Mondkopf), the more experimental and highly addictive Esoteric.

TRAUM 118EP
|
The music of Chilean artist Ricardo Tobar is a constant search for something new -- sometimes it's brutally on the borders of noise, sometimes it's very melodic. The title track is strong, with lots of twists and a psychedelic energy-flow. The track moves mountains, combining slow-motion massiveness with sirens singing wonderful, unearthly melodies. Remixed by Applescal, and hailed by De:Bug's Sascha Kösch as one of the big hopes for 2010.

TRAUM 103EP
|
This is Ricardo Tobar's debut 12" on Traum. "La Otra Playa" is an electronic grunge piece with lots of feedback and noises on top of a melodic carpet. Here, electronica meets the pioneer days of techno. "With You" combines euphoric rippling and fuzzy guitars with techno beats. "Escalera A Central" is the most minimal track -- more stripped-down and focused on sounds that act on a smaller scale in relation to the rhythm. A psychedelic DJ tool that changes direction.
