Ripperton Cocoliche Podcast

Rippertons latest podcast was recorded live in Malta last June for the Argentinian Cocoliche.

A true leader amongst a galvanising Swiss massive has seen Ripperton work along side Sthlm Audio and Plak Records as well as releasing tracks on Dessous, Systematic, Rekids, Liebe Detail and Connaisseur. Ripperton's re juxtapositions of Laurent Garnier, Beanfield, Steve Lawler and paranoid androids Radiohead have also been met with ogling praise.

In 2006 he launched Perspectiv Records, showcasing some fresh talent from Switzerland and around the world, pressing up tracks from Tobias, DJ Koze,Isolée, Raphaël and TEA favourites Christian Vance & Quarion.

Quarion

Quarion, one of house musics best kept secrets.

Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, Yannak Salvo aka Quarion aka Ianeq did the "Berlin thing" and moved to Germanys hub of house and techno where he has been producing and djing just that. I first stumbled across Quarion when hearing his remix to Jagged's Hello Kool Nice, a very, very danceable hands up tune on UK imprint Quintessentials.

Quarion's affair with all things deep shines through with his ability to produce moody house music with a get up and dance element that according to him is "going back to the roots of hipnotic dance music". Qaurion has released on TEA favourite Drumpoet Community, Perspectiv and co-owns the Retreat label with vinyl obsessive Hauke Freer.
