Ritualz Explained
Juan Carlos "JC" Lobo Garcia, known professionally as Ritualz,[1] (and recognised by the symbol †‡†) is a Mexican electronic musician based in Mexico City.[2] [3] The music of Ritualz is essentially a dark electronic music project, initially associated with the witch house genre and has since incorporated a darkwave and industrial-inspired sound. Ritualz's latest album, RADICAL MACABRO, was released in 2022 and marked a shift towards a heavier, more aggressive sound while retaining some sonic elements and atmosphere from his early releases.[4] Lobo began producing music in the early 2000s. Currently he manages an independent record label called "Maligna".[5]
