Al Ritchie

If you'd lived in Madison, Wisconsin for any reasonable length of time, you might've known me in one of my earlier incarnations: as host of the city's first weekly electronic dance-music radio show, The Loud Music Seminar; as owner of the indie record store, The Razor Room; as a music journalist with unmistakable flair; as a club DJ who tried (too hard, probably) to push boundaries.



I lead a less public life now. My creative energies are devoted to writing and producing music that I, myself, would love to hear.

Egrets, I've Had a Few: A minimal excursion combining bright, warm synth with jittery idm

Winds of October: Dreamy and trippy. music for a haunted soul



Battery Killer: Minimalist techno, propulsive yet ambient at the same time. this track did indeed kill my car battery once
