As a promoter, label owner, distributor and noisician, Nyko Esterle aka Ripit, has seeped into every aspect of the noise underground. In live action, Ripit places heavy demands upon the listener, bringing blasts of sound in mechanical precision. During the course of recently intensified touring, Ripit has forged inroads to all factions of extreme music: terrorizing dance floor patrons, boggling the minds of black metal conniseurs and holding his own amongst the greatest harsh noise sculptors. In Paris, Esterle's events at such venues as Kata Bar and Squat de la 13, have redefined possibilities for French electro-aktivism, inviting artists from across Europe, the US and Japan. His recent recordings for renowned electronics labels Yb70 and Zhark International, coupled with his own Riposte Records and the Radon Uropa subdivision which he heads, provide Ripit with a multitude of options for unleashing his ruptured harsh breaks on a weary public. Riposte Rec's sprawling distro spread caters to the obscure record hunter, erected on back corner tables at each Ripit appearance.

In the past 2 years he has carved a respected position in the breakcore scene, starting off 2005 with a blistering 3-tracker in his first appearance on Zhark International. Crunchy and distorted pummeling percussions attack your synapses cause grievous harm to your preconceptions. He has also continued his work as an event producer, launching projects such as the Insect Pyramid Transmissions tour and the World Fuckerz mini-fest in Paris.

Nyko Esterle also serve as the president of the RAINCO association and co-heads the administrative aspects of Radon.
