💥Winter is here, we start with a bang. We slow down to speed up. Take a pause…

come hang.

🦋Fall is churning, winter almost among. Days the shortest, yet, length to come; Synesthesia is back and this time I’ll be the one. 

✴️This month I will be closing out the year with a solo episode. Playing with some rhythms, combinations, and palettes I’ve never tried before.

Back to our regularly scheduled program, join us this Wednesday, November 12 at Bleach Listening Room @ble___ach for the 8th and penultimate episode of the season.

📻 This week, The Ryze Radio features @gogo_penguin — the Manchester trio who inspirationally blend jazz, classical and electronic influences.

📻This week we’re tuning into TOPS—the Montréal band (Jane Penny, David Carriere, Marta Cikojevic, Riley Fleck) whose glowing sophisti-pop grooves are equal parts dreamy and sharp. With their new album Bury the Key on Ghostly International, TOPS take their timeless melodies into darker, disco-tinged territory—intimate, refined, and just a little sinister.

✨Come listen together, discover the new record, and vibe with us ahead of the TOPS upcoming world tour. In the spirit of collective listening, we’ve partnered with MRG Live to giveaway 2 pairs of tickets to see TOPS live at The Vouge Theatre on September 4th for their first tour stop.
