Todo empezó como empiezan estas cosas: con una idea difícil de explicar. 
Ahora es momento de darle su propio espacio. Un lugar donde existir.

Behind the alias is the same Asturian-born producer known as Reeko, but a completely different creative language: cinematic, intelligent techno that blends classic influences with a modern, spatial sound. Since 2010, Architectural has played some of the best stages and clubs in the world, bringing his deep, slow-building sound and leaving his mark wherever he plays.

Due to a logistics issue, Reeko will take the stage as Architectural on Friday.

ARCHITECTURAL

Juan RicoによるソロプロジェクトArchitectural長年にわたり、ベールに包まれた正体不明のアーティストとして活動して来たが、その正体はスペイン・アストゥリアス出身で、Reekoとして知られるJuna Ricoである。

2010年に自身のレーベルArchitecturalから一連の作品を発表し、その後、R&S、Music Man、Semantica、Delsin、Non Seriesといった名門レーベルからもリリースを重ねて来た。

その音楽性は、クラシカルなテクノやシネマティックな要素を基盤としながら、それらを非常にモダンで洗練された感覚で再解釈したものだ。テクノからアンビエントまで幅広く、深い没入感を伴い、ダビーな作品もあれば、感情的でメランコリックな作品もあるが、共通して言えるのはヒプノティックで尚且つアトモスフェリックな雰囲気を纏っていることだ。

Reeko名義では重厚感のあるインダストリアルなサウンドで知られていたJuanだが、Architecturalは彼にとって、より感傷的で内省的、そして抽象的な音楽の側面を探求するためのプロジェクトであり、それは同時に彼の内に本来備わっている二面性の、もうひとつの顔を表現するための場所だ。

Architectural名義でのDJセットもまた、同じように幅広い表現を見せる。まるで包み込むような心地よさ、繊細なニュアンス、そして力強い推進力―それらが共存する体験となるだろう。

Architectural is Juan Rico.

For years, the Architectural project remained anonymous until it was revealed to be a new side of Juan Rico, the Asturian artist behind Reeko.

Launched in 2010 with a series of releases on the label of the same name, Architectural has had releases across seminal labels such as R&S, Music Man, Semantica, Delsin, and Non Series. Architectural blends classic techno and cinematic influences with his very modern and stylish interpretations. The music covers a wide spectrum from techno to ambient with a deep bent. Some releases are dubby while others are emotional and melancholy, but all are hypnotic and share an atmospheric vibe. 

As Reeko, Juan was known for a heavy, industrial sound, but Architectural gives him a place to explore a more sentimental, introspective, and abstract side. A place to explore the other side of an inherent duality.

Architectural dj sets cover a similarly wide range: a comforting embrace, a nuanced touch, and a powerful drive... by @_architectural_

Juan Rico, the visionary behind Architectural and the vaunted Reeko project, stands as one of techno’s most compelling and enigmatic figures. Born in Oviedo, Asturias, in 1981, Rico’s journey into electronic music began in the late ’90s, but it was his relentless experimentation and uncompromising vision that catapulted him to the forefront of the global techno scene starting in 2010 with the first in a string of releases bearing his name (on the self-titled label that kicked off the project). Under the cloak of anonymity, he departed from the hard-edged techno of his Reeko alias in favour of a multidimensional ambient sound. Haunting echoes replete with gaussian grain and emotional tones that explore his duality as an artist, sometimes folding in beats that hark back to his better known pseudonym. Alongside releases on Semantica, Wolfskull, Turbo and Non Series, his work as DJ has seen him play equally esteemed spaces like Printworks, Tresor, Robert Johnson, Awakenings and L.E.V. in his native Asturias. Carving cinematic soundscapes from the void, Architectural puts forth a penetrating, high IQ strain of electronic music that complements his dance tracks to a T. For Zenaari Mix 023, the Spanish veteran treads softly through that murky world and delivers an hour long expedition through the avant-garde and melancholy, experimental beeps and syncopated scratches that break new ground while staying true to his spirit. This is a sonic journey through the shadows and light of his dual world, a highly charged number from a Spanish pioneer.

Architectural - Liminal Dancery (dsr-c27) 

After debuting on Delsin in 2023 as Reeko, Spanish techno icon Juan Rico now steps up as Architectural to present his second EP on Delsin. Where Reeko is known for his adventurous, highly energized, broken techno bangers, his approach as Architectural is more fine-drawn. Over the course of four tracks, his tracks build slowly into immersive pulsations, pushing deep frequencies into captivating rhythm grooves layered with mesmerizing atmospheres. 

Pre-order for a limited edition on clear vinyl is available now on Bandcamp/Delsin shop. Full release out early May.

For our first interview of the year, we’re honored to welcome Juan Rico, the mind behind Reeko and Architectural. For more than twenty years, the Spanish producer has moved through the scene as a deliberately blurred presence: too restless to remain within linear techno, too refined to retreat into pure experimentation.

His path doesn’t follow genres or fixed definitions, unfolding instead as a meticulous, almost obsessive exploration of sound. From fractured techno to ambient, from the hypnotic depth of looping structures to the sharper edges of recent drum & bass incursions, Juan Rico has turned each alias into an open laboratory.
As Reeko, he etched the hard, hallucinatory imagery of labels such as Mental Disorder, Emergence and PoleGroup, shaping a body of work that defined a specific, dancefloor-oriented sonic language. With Architectural, he designed a completely different soundscape — more abstract and three-dimensional — where the pressure of the kick drum coexists with near-cinematic atmospheres.

In this interview, we discuss his origins, influences, production approach, and constant transformations. To close on a high note, Juan also recorded an exclusive Reeko mix for us, blending classic and contemporary techno cuts.

Juan Rico vuelve a Veta 2026 desde el subsuelo, esta vez como @_architectural_ ⛏️

Principalmente conocido como Reeko, es una de las figuras clave del techno nacional. Durante décadas ha trabajado el sonido con la precisión de quien conoce bien la presión, la repetición y el tiempo, convirtiéndose en un referente por la solidez y coherencia de su obra.

En 2025 sorprendió con un set especial de drum & bass, explorando nuevas vetas sonoras. Este año regresa con Architectural, su faceta más hipnótica y mental: techno excavado despacio, capa a capa, como un trabajo constante bajo la roca.

Chiming in for Bassiani’s anniversary party on October 10th comes an exceptional talent from the Asturian coast and Architectural’s third appearance in the Podcast series. Since 2004, Juan Rico’s been holding the line as Reeko, a stand-in for blistering industrial rhythms, founder of Mental Disorder and founding partner of Spanish techno bastion PoleGroup. Come 2010, a new incarnation emerged under the stage name Architectural, a faceless and assumedly authorless variant of his that played on rich textures, cinematic tones and a heavier focus on the architecture of sound itself. In the studio he manipulates and records sounds in real time, allowing for a greater degree of spontaneity than working with standalone parts would otherwise permit. No longer incognito, Architectural offers a brand of ambient techno charged through with Jazz and references from the world of film that pulsates and slithers, crackles and shifts. From his earliest releases on his eponymous Architectural imprint, through Semantica, Non Series and others, his music has established itself as a touchstone for avant-garde techno centred on body and dancefloor, and his future’s sure to keep delivering more of his monolith beats. Bassiani Podcast 287 is a truly impressive addition to the series, a sweeping three-hour montage of gritty textures, modulated frequencies and punchy basslines recorded live at Bassiani. by @_architectural_
