Richard J Valeo is no stranger to electronic music. His past releases on such labels as Archipel, Moodgadget and his own IO Records imprint have earned him some well-deserved respect including tracks on both Claude VonStroke's (Dirtybird) and Magda's (Minus/Items & Things) Fabric mix sessions. On Hardware Excursions Volume Two we see Isomer Transition in rare form. Each track on this release is performed live with various hardware; hence the title. Not unlike other tracks by Isomer Transition, these deep, extended, science fiction inspired sonicscapes are heavy and perfect for blending into any set. This release also sees RCP releasing our first 12" with an exclusive vinyl only track. Meanwhile there is also a digital only track (included here). Collect them all. It's the dawn of a new era.


US born (New York) RJ Valeo is an electronic music producer, live performer, and event curator. Influenced by microsound, glitch, techno, dub, new wave, idm, and industrial, his 'Isomer Transition' releases avant-guarde futuristic dance music that shows these roots.

Opting to develop his own style rather than fit neatly into an established genre, his music ranges from deep and minimal dubby tech-groovers (minimal in the amount of musical content, not the style) to in-your-face energy filled dance floor movers. All the while keeping the productions thick with intent, massive mix depth, and an undeniable groove.

Isomer Transition's debut 'Shadownlands EP' was featured on Maryanne Hobb's 'The Breezeblock' and his productions have been compared to Richie Hawtin, Matthew Dear, Kraftwerk and even Gas (under his RJ Valeo moniker). He was a co-founder of the BAP and BAPLAB series of art and music events held in NYC from 2005-2006. He continues to search out new technology and software and use it in his compositions.
