Lief Ryan

Lief began his DJ career in the early 90s playing quite a hard selection of tunes (Force ink, Network 23, R&S etc.) mainly in free parties between the UK and Spain. In 1998 he moved to Barcelona where he spent about a year without performing to improve his abilities in the studio, and to learn more about playing musical instruments.

With the help of a free ads magazine he came across Xavier Roman another young producer, to whom he sold a “legendary but useless” Roland MT 32, and they decided to start their own label Newtone Records.

Shortly after Lief released his first EP, under the alias Twitch that he generally used for DJ performances, they also founded a house division, Overtone Records. This was due to their encounter with Lumiere a stunning local house duo made up by one life long piano virtuoso Xavi Lloses and a recycled rock guitarist Joan Male; a weird and wonderful mix of classical genius and electronic innovation (see Overtone 001). After creating Newtone Records he emerged from the studio and started DJing again. He played pretty much all the Barcelona venues, Fonfone, Abaixadors 10, the Placton Party 2 & 3 (annual 8h boat party), razzmatazz (Royal Sessions), Octopussy, BAC (Barcelona Arte Contemporánea), Metropol (where he was resident), IFC 2000 Flying Party @ CCCB (international flyer contest), La Cova, KGB, Risco, Woman Caballero (sala 02), Moog (where he was also resident), Freestyle 2001, and his own Uptone Club.

After leaving Newtone Records he moved to Manchester and has now started his new label “growth recordings”.

Growth Recordings
Growth Recordings is a new independent techno label based in Manchester (UK). It was founded by Lief Ryan, DJ/producer, known in Barcelona for his residency in Moog , Metropol and his own Uptone Club. Since leaving the Barcelona based label, Newtone Records, he has decided to develop his own label as a solo project. The main aim of the label is to provide an output for the music produced by Lief and friends.

Unlike some other labels who may claim to be saving the rainforest, Growth recordings doesn’t pretend it’s going to change the world with it’s music.
