Join The Dots speaks to Ripperton ahead of his appearance in London this Saturday.

The Swiss DJ/producer mixes up a masterful concoction of indie rock, dance music and ambience into something warm, cuddly and altogether Ripperton.

As you can see in the 'circle sleeves of 2010' there obviously was a big trend featuring circles on album covers in 2010. On #10 you see Niwa by Ripperton, which I made in the summer of 2009, in the forest of Markelo and near the River Tarn, St. Eminie, France. Although lots of people think it's a photoshop job, it's 100% real photography.

Swiss producer and performer Ripperton, chats with Elie Eidelman about the French Swiss talent pool,the future of the underground movement, and his earlier influences Kid Bachelor, Tony Humphries, Djaimin, CeCe Rogers, Louie Vega, Mood II swing or Larry Heard, and Robert Owens.

Ahead of his appearance for them this weekend, Swiss producer Ripperton steps up to the decks for Buzzin' Fly and We Fear Silence. The short but sweet set features tracks from St Plomb, Moodymann and the man himself.
