Ritual...Conscious Rebel Music

Ritual has been in love with music for all his life, growing
up listening to Motown, Funk, Jazz, Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.
He developed a massive love for the Police at the age of 4
thanks to his uncle (who has amazing taste in music and had
a massive effect on Ritual, from music to his ridiculous
desire & love for Nike's). His father was a drummer in a band
(Nirvana Express) and DJ'ed in India with his brother in the
60's and 70's.

When Ritual was 13, his father stated:

"Son, since you're playing guitar now, I think you should here this..."

The album was Hendrix' "Band Of Gypsies". He knew then that music
was going to play a substantial role in his life.

Many years of guitar playing ensued; he studyed with Sydney Jazz
guitar legend Carl Orr (absolutely inspirational) but unfortunately
left Oz in '95 and another transformation begun...

In '94 it was all about LTJ Bukem, Acid Jazz guys like Incognito
and Mondo Grosso, Mo' Wax and fusion jazz. Along with close friends
Ritual started a club night called "Green 'n Jazzy" which was an
eclectic night of funk, downtempo and D'nB - all with a distinct
party vibe. Since then, his bizness with beats has never stopped
running.

Over the next 10 years, it went from Bukem to Full Cycle to MIST
and now Calibre as far as his taste in producers goes. Ritual plays
other genres as well: from broken beat, detroit techno, hip hop,
funk, beats, dub and reggae - he just love music.

Ritual has played alongside Roni, Goldie, Bukem, Marcus Intalex,
Zinc, D Bridge, Hype, Suv, Krust, Die, Groove - the list goes on...
The first promoter to tour Marky, Bryan Gee, Calibre in Sydney,
he is involved with all aspects of D'nB.

Ritual's been getting support for my music from my 'big brother'
Spikey Tee (check the Congo Natty Outernational MySpace), RCola
@ JungleX, Suv, Bryan Gee and A.L.F. who are all helpful and
inspirational
