Rival Consoles

London-based producer Ryan Lee West, better known as Rival Consoles, has the reputation for his ability to make synthesisers sound organically human and atmospheric.

Over the course of a critically acclaimed eighteen-year career, his music has diversified from the challenging electronic output of his early EPs to gradually becoming more conceptual and metamorphic. In July 2025 he released Landscape from Memory on Erased Tapes, which marked a new chapter in an ongoing quest for refinement and evolution.

The live experience is a unique immersive audio-visual affair, with material from the new album as well as from Rival Console’s previous releases and beyond. From deep ambient works to his unique version of techno, and traversing the vast spectrum in between, the show will be a long-form narrative of ideas — many heard live for the first time — with visuals co-created and performed live by Sky Ainsbury.

“Impossible to ignore, and hard to forget” — Pitchfork
“Ambient leaning, mind expanding electronics” — DJ Mag
