Biography
The British electronic music artist known as Rival Consoles was born Ryan Lee West in Leicester, England on November 10, 1985. After university courses on music technology, he launched his recording career in 2007 with the EPs The Decadent and Vermeer, releases that showcased his ambitious yet dance-friendly style. His debut LP, 2009âs IO, got strong reviews and he released numerous remixes of work from fellow artists signed to Erased Tapes. 2011âs Kid Velo was filled with house-inspired dance tracks, but the 2013 Odyssey EP swerved into a more experimental, notably minimalist, style. He followed that muse for the 2015 EP Sonne. 2015âs LP Howl, utilized experimental techniques that included Rival Consoles playing guitar and drums. He brought the pain of a romantic break-up to 2016âs Night Melody, and 2016âs Persona was another stylistic adventure that focused on atmospheric soundscapes more than dance beats. He returned in 2020 with Articulation, followed by Overflow (2021), and the soundtrack for the movie El Caso Figo (2022). Also issued in 2022 was the more ambient/tech house oriented album Now Is, before the releases of Rival Consoles' first game soundtrack for MindsEye, and original album Landscape from Memory in 2025.
