[dj]Can Costa aka Ricky Ryan plac[e]
DESCRIPTION
Can Costa aka Ricky Ryan has been djing for almost five years. Although, in his short experience due to a relentless seek for quality, he has certainly progressed at a remarkably fast pace.
HISTORY
Like many successful DJs, Ricky comes from a varying contemporary musical background, filled with different genres - and ends up with funky, disco, electro, breaks, techno & house music grooves. This musical background is supported by guitar, piano and vocal studies taken throughout his childhood, as well as completing three years of jazz and contemporary music research. Right after his 21st birthday, Ricky moved from Argentina to Los Angeles (USA) searching for absolute independence. He purchased his first turntables and mixer with the money earned working 8 days a week at bars and catering events. Later on, he ended up sharing decks at the legendary 'Sketchpad' after-hours with DJ Taylor, known as the American response to Sasha. Ricky decided to go back to Buenos Aires (Argentina) and looked forward to growing into the local scene. Along with Our House Promotions, he had the chance to share the Dj booth @ Punta del Este (Uruguay) with Andy Holt (aka Redanka) & Chris Bourne (aka Tarrentella) from RIP records, Kelvin Andrews (the legend also known as Soul Mekanik, Sound 5 and part of Sure is Pure) & Paolo Mojo from Fabric UK. Back in Bs. As., he mixed with italian star Francesco Farfa, spanish dj/producer Angel Molina & Bill Patrick from ARC, New York USA. Ricky also played with almost every local talent like Alex Russo, Facu Carri, Cristobal Paz, Big Fabio, Dj Paul, Diego RoK, Diego Cid, Gustavo Lopez, Aldo Haydar, Romina Cohn, Miguel Silver and along with our very own local champion Hernan Cattaneo, who described Ricky's first production work as refreshing and technically very tight. Music is Freedom (www.musicisfreedom.com), the British label owned by Paolo Mojo (www.paolomojo.com) and formerly known as Entermusic, signed "Who Cares?" (Original & Smight´s Special Place remix) by Can Costa, Ricky's alter ego. This release received huge support from great international djs such as Satoshi Tomiie, Adam Freeland, Hernan Cattaneo, Chris Fortier, Steve Gerrard, Marcelo Castelli, Echomen, Steve Parry, Dan Goodall, Soul Mekanik, Jerry Bonham, Joshua Collins, Ryan Papa & the man himself, Sasha. Also obtained great comments at worldwide record stores & has been reviewed @ PROG SOUNDS (https://www.progressive-sounds. com/reviews/Can-Costa-Who-Cares .asp). Ricky has been invited to the acclaimed internet based PROTON RADIO (www.protonradio.com), both as a Dj & Producer, to showcase at Smight's show @ PROFLUENCE & Jay Epoch's @ PARTICLES, will be guest as FEATURED ARTIST soon. He has also remixed American dj/producer Stroud for Mining Vinyl Recordings USA, along with Argentina's Dj Paul (Clubland, PACHA). This tune called "Chobru" has been charted in BALANCE Record Pool by Chris Fortier, and has also been included in Jondi & Spesh's and Chris Micali's charts. Also supported by Josh Wink, producer Greg Benz, fine reviewer dj Chloe @ Sound Bytes (www.progressive-sounds.com) & mixed several times by Hernan Cattaneo, who's very interested in Can Costa's latest productions, including most of these in his weekly radio show Resident @ Metro 95.1 fm Ricky reached professional skills on music production workshops in Barcelona (Spain), where he's been sharing the line up along with Steve Bug, Martin Landsky & Edvard at The Edge @ Otto Zutz as part of the Poker Flat World Tour. He's also visited Moscow (Russia), for a gig @ PYRAMID BAR & Lima (Peru) @ URBAN ALIEN. Back in Argentina he played with well known djs & producers like Echomen from the UK (HoojChoons recs), Joshua Collins from the USA (Grayhound recs), Ryan Papa from Australia (Stigma recs - www.residentadvisor.com.au monthly RA Columnist) & Argentinean Dj MOS from Barcelona's Pissed off recordings @ CHOCOLATE in Mar del Plata seaside city. Ricky has also been the headline dj @ BLUE VELVET & MEI in Rosario many times last year - gaining much recognition outside of Buenos Aires. Ricky visited Asunción (Paraguay) & Montevideo (Uruguay), where he had great shows & will go back soon for more gigs every two months due to the amazing feedback he got from the foreign crowd. He also has been guest dj at AET 10th anniversary party @ PACHA, Buenos Aires's greatest dance floor in Argentina & known around the world as one of the best clubs on earth. He had the chance to share his music with around 4.000 people going crazy. This has been his best experience thus far. Ricky Ryan played at BUE, a huge festival in Argentina with an amazing line up of international artists such as Massive Attack, Rinocerose, Andy Fletcher (Depeche Mode), FC Kahuna, The Human League, Herbalizer, Junior Sanchez, Ashley Casselle, Slacker & loads of local talents. Had a tour travelling Europe where he played in Spain (Barcelona, Pamplona & Ibiza), London, Ireland, Holanda (along with Frederik from Pako & Deep Architecture), Lithuania & Russia once again. Right after he came back from his first gig in Sao Paulo, Brasil for UpFront Sounds, Ricky played in the 4th edition of Creamfields in Argentina - along a huge line up of local and international djs such as James Zabiela, Darren Emerson, Groove Armada, Paul Oakenfold, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Jimmy Van M, Plump Djs, Dub Pistols, Tom Middleton & Erick Morillo - to name a few. Recently visited México where he played 4 gigs in different cities along up & coming dj/producer Derek Howell (Bedrock). Also he was invited to play at Smirnoff Experience in Venezuela where he warmed up the dancefloor before Kings of Tomorrow & John Kelly (Cream, Liverpool) for 3000 people, in a festival for around 8000 total. Later he played along well known Circulation.

A week later he played on New years Eve in Ecuador sharing line up with many international artists like promoter & dj Kam (Global Unity Movement, Los Angeles). Ricky visited Peru for second time, where he played with local talents, djs & producers Israel Vich & Christian Berger (Rocksteady, MIF recs). This summer season in Punta del Este, Uruguay - he has been invited to warm up well known Justin Robertson from Uk at Mint Club, where he played together with his partner & known local dj Martin Lamelas. They both were asked by resident dj German Rovira - who played a great set of deep & funky techno - to also mix for the last 2 hours. Ricky & Martin had an amazing nite hard to forget ever, playing back 2 back for a crowd going mad till sunrise. Nowadays, Ricky spends most of his time producing music and promoting events, not to mention djing; his latest tunes & edits have received much support from great djs and producers such as Lee Burridge, Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair, Paolo Mojo, Kosmas Epsilon, Shiloh, Subsky & Yunus, to name a few.
