It’s Saturday, so that means it’s once again time for Shorthanded Goals. Shorthanded Goals is a feature that melds the best of both worlds. More artists wanting to catch your eyes and ears and hearts – whether they be free giveaways from albums I’ve already covered, or free tracks sent to me that I cannot dedicate the necessary time to listen to and review from bands/readers/whomever, or maybe even the usual PR and label goodies that arrive on the regular. Sometimes it’s album tracks or Soundcloud finds I love but I didn’t include in [...]

A lovely cosmic track from last year gets a psychedelic remix. Out next week. Free download. Last summer we had Aimes' Beautiful Decay EP of cosmic synth rock. It's been remixed and the best track from the EP gets a remix from Rioux (Erin Rioux from New York). This takes the wide-eyed wonder and warps the electronics into more of a space rock kind of feel. Does justice to the original. The rest of the EP's here. There's a free download of the Soft Lighting remix of the same track. [...]
Rioux , the project of Brooklyn electronic producer Erin Rioux, combines elements of pop music with a subtly avant-garde approach. Merging “technology with organic instrumentation in a rhythmic and cerebral sonic environment,” Rioux takes influence from Krautrock artists like Neu! and Cluster, as well as experimental pioneers Brian Eno, and David Byrne. read more
This past July, Brooklyn producer Erin Rioux , who performs under his last name, unleashed Come On All You Ghosts EP. The release was influenced by time spent in Berlin and the city's vibrant culture and nightlife. The organic approach by mixing electronic music with more traditional elements and more of a focus on crafting pop songs than on previous releases. The desire for a more organic approach to creating music led to a remix EP of his latest release simply titled [...]

Although the line-up of the night read "more" next to the headliners The Neighbourhood and Lovelife in that minimizing way opening acts are often announced, the term turned out to take on a whole new meaning as Rioux stepped on stage with an awkward yet extremely pumped energy. Rioux refers to Michigan native Erin Michael Rioux who yesterday night sang the lead vocals and alternatively played electronic drums and the guitar, accompanied by friend colossal drummer and a saxophone player sitting in the shadows. The foursome blasted an electro vibe through a half empty Glasslands - a shame for everyone who missed out. [...]
GoldFlakePaint is very pleased to debut the brand new video from the Brooklyn-based electronic wonder, Rioux . Directed by Mike Sidow and taken from Erin's Come On All You Ghosts EP, Halo is the second single to be released from the six-track record that dropped back in July. One of the EP's more upbeat numbers, Halo is a stuttering beat-led track that comes with the added bonus of electric guitars and electric trumpets all buried in amongst each other. Check out the track, and [...]

Erin Rioux, originally from Detroit but now based in Brooklyn, has just released ' Come On All You Ghosts '; a lovely little organic sounding, pop minded electronic EP via Soundcloud. Released under his Rioux moniker, the record opens with 'This Life' a track comprising of chopped up harps and strings in a very Gold Panda style with a snare led beat and an under laying (further chopped) hum, it almost sounds...dare I say Chillwave-esque? Whatever you want to call it, it's delightful and a perfect accompaniant for the little heatwave [...]

Find The Reason - Rioux feat. Thurmon Green Brooklyn based producer Rioux (@riouxsounds) (pronounced ree-yoo) is pretty much a musical genius. Although tracks on his Soundcloud are tagged as electronic, there are definitely strong hints of psychedelia and minimalism. Regardless, covering all ends of the electronic spectrum, Rioux has created music appropriate to both zone out or get down to. Zen at times, his songs can quickly turn into something more elaborate and chaotic, as he artfully weaves together and juxtaposes organic instrumentation and lyrics (he sings a lot about [...]
'Summer' calls to mind a number of things, but if you're envisioning lemonade and beach outings, then... You might be missing something. Enter Brooklyn's Rioux , a young producer who is poised to make waves this summer with his particularly gorgeous brand of dance music. The artist's recently released single, "Find The Reason (feat. Thurmon Green)" is the first track off the forthcoming Come on All You Ghosts EP (due out July 17th), and is reminiscent of similar artists Youth Lagoon and Parachute Youth [...]
"Find The Reason" is a track taken from Eclectic Brooklyn-based producer Rioux's forthcoming Come On All You Ghosts EP, out July 17. It features guest vocals during the verses by Thurmon Green. The song was influenced by Rioux's time spent in Berlin, frequenting the late night clubs and enamored by the contrasting aesthetics of life there. As he says, his new stuff is a bit more pop-minded than his past releases, the upcoming EP explores dance floor tracks with a tilt towards a darker, more melancholy tone. This is a brilliant tune you shouldn't miss. It's [...]
