SWITCH 8
BIO
Is RiDylan an artist or a vandal? Either way, he’s laser-focused on one thing — bombing your mind with his sound.
RiDylan is the alias of Dylan Gauthier from Vancouver, BC, where he’s heavily involved in the underground electronic music community.
RiDylan’s high-energy live PA performances span a wide variety of old-school and new-school rave sounds. He references acid, jungle, techno, breakbeat, electro, breakcore, and IDM, and makes no apologies for relentlessly switching things up.
RiDylan has toured North America, Europe and Japan extensively, and is a Bangface Hardcrew Hero. He’s released music on standout labels such as Cock Rock Disco, Heterodox, Kitty on Fire, Planet Euphorique, PPRZ, and has contributed to several compilations. His most recent EP Switch 8 came out on Defunkt to much critical acclaim from music blogs and publications worldwide.
In 2022 RiDylan appeared on 3 releases and completed two tours — Europe in spring, including his second performance at Bang Face Weekender, and North America in September.
In October 2023, toured Japan around the Switch 8 release.
“Totally uncompromising and destined to be consumed by bold listeners.” – Last Day Deaf Magazine
“When it comes to breakbeats though, this Renoise veteran has an unrivaled sense of syncopation, and mastery of the tropes.” – Melt Unit
