Rick Shinmi(Cyberia/403)

About

Somewhere in the gray zone between ambient drift and hard techno’s crushing kick drums, Rick Shinmi operates under the aliases Cyberia and 403. Based in Tokyo—though the exact coordinates stay deliberately hazy—this DJ and producer draws from both sides of the BPM spectrum, stitching together sets that can dissolve into textural soundscapes one moment and slam into heavy, warehouse-ready grooves the next. The tagline “Glitch Between Reality and Dream” isn’t just branding; it describes the tension in their work. Expect layered static, cinematic pads, and sudden shifts into trance-infused hard techno that keeps dancers off-balance in the best way. Little is publicly documented about Shinmi’s background, but their online presence—@cyberia_frctl and @rickpress.zip—hints at a fascination with digital artifacts and compressed archives. Whether playing out in Tokyo’s underground or releasing through scattered channels, Rick Shinmi/Cyberia/403 stays elusive by design, letting the music speak for itself. If you catch a set, you’ll hear the collision of two worlds: the meditative and the relentless.
