Ricardo Garduno

Born and raised in Mexico, Ricardo Garduno, is no stranger to the global Techno underworld.

Besides running his successful Techno imprint, Illegal Alien Records, he’s had numerous successful productions on some of the most reputable Techno labels around the world such as, Brood Audio, Sleaze Records, Driving Forces, Impact Mechanics, Machine Box and Frakture Audio!

His music can be described as a perfect blend of organic and distorted twisted Techno! The deep, hypnotic grooves and unique kick drums pull you in and destroys any dance floor that they are dropped on!

Ricardo’s music is heavily played and supported by the likes of Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, and Speedy J to name a few. Besides his successful Techno moniker, Ricardo has a second alias as “Xordo”, which explores the more experimental Minimal/Tech House genres.

The biggest accomplishment of this project so far was last year as he released his first EP on Dubfire’s SCI+TEC label. He is also part of a duo called Pitchverb where he teams up with Techno Producer Andre Ramos, the result of their creations has been supported by some of the biggest names in the music business.

2013 is definitely paving a new and exciting path for Ricardo with the recent signing of him to Brood Audio. His music always has a presence in the label head, Erphun’s sets so it was only natural that Brood Audio add this talented artist to our distinct broody roster!
