Lausanne, Switzerland
The easiest way to introduce Ripperton would be to mention that he was growing up as a teenager to the rhythms of Tony Humphries, Djaimin and Kid Bachelor, working in the well-known Lausanne record shop, Tracks, and generally drowning in all that was vinyl, Raphael started DJing in the early 90s.
Soon after, thanks to MPC3000 and good analogue synths, he began producing. His first releases came under the names of Soul Merge and Reasons, the latter won the Diesel U Music awards in 2003 and then led to the setting up of his first label, Lovearth Records soon followed by Perspectiv & Tamed musiq.
He gained popularity with his side project Lazy Fat People that was signed to labels like Border Community, Wagon Repair and Carl Craig's Planet E, his collaborations with Deetron, Quarion or Agnès as well as new successes as a solo artist.
