Prior to recording under the moniker John Talabot in 2008, Riverola had been the resident DJ in one of Barcelona’s most prestigious dance clubs. However, with a mix of over-exhaustion, high-expectations and a wish to create something that wasn’t currently being produced, Riverola left the club scene behind and began crafting contemporary, slow-moving house music. The producer had previously created music under the moniker Oriol D.a.r.y.l. and D.a.r.y.l., before changing his sound and changing his name to John Talabot.
In April 2009, the DJ and producer released his debut 12” “My Old School” on the German label Permanent Vacation, featuring the tracks “Afrika”, “Naomi” and “Korli”.
Talabot’s next release proved to be his breakthrough with the single “Sunshine” later in 2009. The single, which featured heaps of textured loops, delightfully positive riffs and a carefully considered drum machines, was released on the producer’s own Hivern Discs. Riverola subsequently released the EPs “Mathilda’s Dream” in 2010 and “Families” in 2011, whilst also crafting a steady stream of remixes for the likes of Tahiti 80 and Teengirl Fantasy.
One year later, in 2012, arrived the DJ and producer’s debut album “ƒIN” with vocal contributions from Pional and Ekhi. The album earned a 5 star review from The Guardian and was again released on Permanent Vacation. Riverola has subsequently issued the EP “So Will Be Now” in 2013, along with the mix album “DJ-Kicks: John Talabot”.
Spain is a country not necessarily associated with house and dance music. Despite hosting some of the world's best festivals, there are very few musicians trying their hand at DJing. However, this has not deterred Barcelona native Oriol Riverola, better known by his stage name John Talabot who has been putting his original spin on electro since appearing in 2010.
He worked the underground circuit before his debut album 'ƒIN' was praised by a number of global publications and his reputation simply exploded. He still maintains some of the intimacy of his beginnings throughout the show with moody lighting and often trance like beats yet overall it is a surreal and lively dance show. He is pretty entranced in mixing abilities yet he still keeps the crowd involved by dropping huge remixes and some of his own original tracks. There is a great amount of potential surrounding this guy's followup album and it will only help enhance the live show.
