RYKARD is a producer of ambient electronica from the gloomy countryside of Lancashire, England. His first debut album “Arrive the Radio Beacon” in 2010 made waves across the globe with his unique blend of ambient atmospheric bliss that wowed radio DJ’s on the BBC, CBC, KCRW Los Angeles and more.

RYKARD’s second album Luminosity maintains a similar philosophy but takes things to another level, a stunning arrangement of atmospheric electronica from another dimension.

This dark-edged, introspective and contemplative mood allows the listener to create their own journey.”
