(Photo by Özge Cöne) Side-Line has always been about letting you discover new exciting sounds. Here’s one which most of you probably still haven’t discovered despite a career of over a decade. Let’s introduce Ryan Lee West, better known by his stage name Rival Consoles. He is a British electronic musician who over the past 12 years has been releasing all of his albums and EPs on Erased Tapes Records.

Musically Rival Consoles’ style can be best described as a combination of ambient, shoegaze, minimal techno and cinematic, all of it mostly created with analogue synths, pedals and degraded processes. You might call it avant-garde, we prefer to call it minimal techno.

He now has a new single out, “Pulses of Information”, ahead of his return to the live scene. And you will probably agree with us that this single is an ear worm.

Check “Pulses of Information” on YouTube.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
