Risk Risk is a mysterious German producer who wants to let his music “speak for itself”, he shuns the internet in favour of being known only by his analog SynthPop sounds. I don’t know about you, but mystery artists who “let the music speak for itself” are getting pretty tired now, it’s not interesting, it’s been done, what’s the matter with you? It’s irritating for the press and it’s irritating for the fans.

Risk Risk’s music, however, is very cool. Stripped down SynthPop with a cold early 80’s feel without going down Minimal Synth territory. Musically quite early Ultravox or Gary Numan but with harsher Germanic tone to the vocals and just a hint of a modern dance music groove. This is neon drenched Sci-Fi stuff that the early Futurists would be proud of. We all miss the early 80’s at some point (I’m assuming if you’re reading this) and Risk Risk can fill that little hole in your life.
