Nyko Esterle's electronic experiments, as an attempt to a musical self-suffisency, start in 1998 with the fonding of his label RIPOSTE.REC and his solo project RIPIT. He was mixing electronic sounds patterned in a rythmic and repetitive form with a stage attitude closer to punk than to the DJ one, confronting a rock audience to a hard and crude music, where the human is only there to alterate the structure and by then, giving an animal spontaneity to analog and mechanical sounds.
Since then, he knews how to explore the worlwide undeground electronic scene
by touring europe and north america, by realeasing several recordings on
various formats and by developping a local scene thrue massive experimental
party organising over Paris.
All alonng his travels and tours, his meeting with other artists leaded him
to collaborate with a lot of different projects as Black Elf Speaks (Noise
Rock Opera project from the members of Usaisamonster), Sikhara (Radonstudio.com),
Steve Mackay (Sax player of The Stooges and The Violent Femmes), Jason Forrest
(aka Donna Summer). He toured alongside the previous but also with Doormouse,
Venetian Snares, Hecate, Man Is The Bastard Noise and several others...
