Peter Ricq

When Vancouver’s Robbie Slade joined forces with Montreal transplant Peter Ricq, the result was the ever-evolving mix of contagious rhythm and energy that is the electro-pop dance duo HUMANS. The duo’s self-released EP Avec Mes Mecs (2010) made ripples internationally, and their follow up EP Traps (2012) saw critical claim and huge radio success, spending six weeks at the top of the !Earshot National Electronic Chart. HUMANS’ innovation and ability to fuse experimentation with danceability has lead them to feature slots at Osheaga, Squamish Valley Music Festival, SXSW, and CMJ. Their music has also scored a number of placements including Red Bull, Entourage, CSI and MTV. Their debut LP "Noontide" is an evolution of HUMANS innovative mix of heavy electronics and modern pop sensibilities.
