Nicolas "RIPIT" Esterle, born 1977,  is developing a noisy, rhythmical and psychedelic sound since 1998.
His work is based on the extensive use of modular synths, drum machines and no-input mixers to create a dancy, acid music, plunging the listeners in a magma of electrical textures, mixing dance-floor references and magnetic fog. Ranging from crawling Dub to analog grindcore, from Hardcore Teknoise to mid-tempo dusty electro.
He released loads of records on numerous labels and toured several times in North America and Europe.
In 2006, he founded with TZII, the protean project SOLAR SKELETONS.
In 2007, he founded the concrete Dub/Mutant Rap project FUJAKO with Portuguese Dub strategist HHY.
In 2016, he founded with Frédéric Alstadt the THE ÅNGSTRÖMERS and work since then with the Haïtian Voodoo band CHOUK BWA.
He also improvised with musicians such as Steve Mackay (the Stooges), Mike Watt (Minutemen, The Stooges), Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Otto Von Schirach, End.user, Xanopticon, Hecate, Clipping, Le Syndicat, Sikhara, Onrust, Purpura… to name a few.
He also remixed musicians such as Gnod (uk), Prairie (be), Clipping. (usa), a034 (it), HHY & The Macumbas (pt), Live Low (pt), Tzii (be)… He's also the head engineer at Studio de la Limite, a residential recording and mastering facility in the French countryside.
