Ricardo Tobar

Ricardo Tobar is a Chilean electronic producer and DJ who’s been crafting immersive, genre-blurring sounds since the mid-2000s. Hailing from Santiago, Tobar merges hypnotic techno, psychedelic textures, and South American rhythmic sensibilities into tracks that feel equally suited for dark clubs and introspective headphone sessions. His releases on labels like Permanent Vacation and his own Música Moderna imprint—including recent standouts like *Our Violence*, *El Eterna*, and the dreamy *After The Movie*—showcase his knack for balancing driving beats with melancholic melodies and unexpected organic flourishes. Whether he’s nodding to vintage rave nostalgia or weaving field recordings into his productions, Tobar’s music feels like a trippy postcard from the edges of electronic experimentation.
