Ripperton and 3LIAS at B018

The Lineup:
– Ripperton
– 3LIAS

House and techno producer Ripperton burst onto the international dance music scene as part of the mighty Border Community label, linking up with the seminal UK imprint as it was enjoying its most formidable years in the mid-aughts. Born in Switzerland, Ripperton started his career as one-half of Lazy Fat People (an artist who himself had appeared on the Wagon Repair and Planet E labels). When Ripperton decided to go solo around 2007, the style that marked those early collaborative releases stayed with him, and he became know for deep, melodic, and moody productions with a penchant for the dancefloor.

Hailing from the mountains overlooking the Eastern Mediterranean, 3LIAS slowly followed a deep, dark groove all the way down to the coast. More specifically the old city quarantine of Beirut. There he was swallowed up by the iconic B 018’s retractable rooftop and became its resident decknician in 2006 after helping create Lebanon’s underground scene through the lates 90s and early 2000s.
Today, almost a decade into his residency at B 018, 3LIAS has transformed it into a subterranean factory of silky synths drenched in melancholic, rolling grooves and deep, dark-driven beats that entrance the mind and move the feet till the early hours of the morning.
