Riton

Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Riton earned ‘Best Dance Recording’ in 2018 for his work co-producing ‘Electricity’ for Dua Lipa and Silk City. Early in his career, Riton launched his Switch Recordings label, releasing his initial two 12′ singles. His early DJing residency at Newcastle’s ‘Shindig’ nightclub led to discovery by Mark Rae and a signing with Grand Central Records. Under this label, Riton released his debut album, ‘Beats du Jour’ (2001), followed by the vocal-driven ‘Homies And Homos’ in 2004, featuring collaborations with Lee Jones of Howdi and Luca Santucci, and including a cover of The Cure’s ‘Killing an Arab.’ In 2005, Riton co-formed Gucci Sound System with Ben Rymer, establishing a monthly residency at London’s 333 Club and their own nightclub, Druzzi’s Baltimore Rave Club, which hosted DJs like Headman, Erol Alkan, and 2 Many DJs.

This collaboration led to the 2018 album ‘Foreign Ororo,’ which included the GRAMMY-nominated tracks ‘Rinse & Repeat’ and ‘Fake ID’. Building on this momentum, Riton co-produced ‘Electricity’ for Dua Lipa and Silk City in 2018, earning him a Grammy Award for ‘Best Dance Recording.’ His impressive streak continued into 2021 with ‘Friday,’ a track sampling Nightcrawlers’ ‘Push the Feeling On’ and featuring Mufasa and Hypeman, which reached the top 5 on the UK Singles Chart. Further diversifying his output, Riton’s Gucci Soundsystem project collaborated with Jarvis Cocker in 2021 on ‘Let’s Stick Around,’ a climate change-inspired release. With a catalog boasting chart-topping hits, Grammy nominations, and a Grammy Award, Riton continues to be a highly sought-after producer and DJ, consistently delivering innovative and commercially successful dance music to global audiences.
