ORIKLE

Born in Manchester. Heart in Ibiza. Melodic techno for the heart, tech house for the body.

Biography

ORIKLE is a UK based producer and artist creating melodic techno and tech house inspired by the moments that define us. Blending hypnotic rhythms, deep basslines and immersive synth work, ORIKLE crafts sonic journeys that resonate with both the mind and the body. The sound draws on the modern melodic techno movement, artists like Anyma, and the Afterlife aesthetic, built for festival stages and underground clubs alike.

The project leads with the sound, the artwork and the city rather than a persona. It began with Bizarre Inc's Playing with Knives, found in his sister's CD collection after nights at The Haçienda. Earlier tracks made with his son passed 10 million streams, and ORIKLE became the solo project in 2026. In May 2026, Northern Soulmates reached number one in Progressive House on the Spinnin' Records Talent Pool and the global top 10.

Released 12 Apr 2026 · ISRC QZTBF2665690

A massive melodic techno anthem. Built around a relentless bassline and atmospheric tension, the track culminates in a heavy, floor filling drop. One small shift, a lifetime of ripples: a study of chaos theory through sound.

Melodic Techno / Tech House · 4:13 · 128 BPM · B Minor (10A)

Released 7 Apr 2026 · ISRC QZTBC2649234

Trades earth shattering aggression for a deeply hypnotic, driving groove. Rolling basslines, ethereal vocal chops and sprawling, futuristic synth work that feels like an auditory portal. It is about the loved ones you have lost, who never truly leave you.

Released 23 Apr 2026 · ISRC QZWFP2634253

High octane progressive house that captures the energy of finding your anchor in the chaos. At 2:45 the filler is stripped away to focus on an immediate, soaring melody and a driving rhythm: Northern grit with an anthemic payoff.
