Myoptik :: Gofunga! (Mighty Force)
With a plethora of electronic distortion and semi-coherent sound structures carefully collapsing, Myoptik doesn’t hold back on Gofunga!
Inkipak :: Signature sound
Regarding Jon Mace’s background, artistic inspiration, music-making process, and any surprising insights that his followers should be aware of, it is an honor to speak with him through a series of questions and answers on behalf of Igloo Magazine.
Myoptik :: Dreampeace EP (Móatún 7)
For the Móatún 7 imprint, he has unleashed a subtle and textured electronic blanket on Dreampeace, and there are plenty of charges in and of itself.

Blending darker shades with lighter sonic hues, and providing all the right amounts of crunchy IDM flutter we would typically expect from these sound sculptors.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2022

4T Thieves :: The Vinyl Loop (Pingdiscs)
Overall, The Vinyl Loop is a breath of fresh air as it brings the ambient genre into an area that is specific; not too esoteric, but not too beat-heavy. It all seems deliberate and balanced in my ears.
