ribguga is a dj and producer from rio de janeiro, and almost everything he makes is built to be functional first, with the bassline carrying the weight.
the trail starts on 12 november 2021 with Shangrin La on muzenga records, and the next three years are a grind through small rooms of the catalogue. tropical feelings, NVDRZ, prophecy label, loulou records, naschkatze underground, black lizard records, hood politics records and flashmob records all took records off him between 2022 and 2024, most of them written with other producers.
the El Rey ep for hellbent records on 13 december 2024 is the hinge. after it the labels get bigger fast. Got The Funk went out through CUFF on 30 may 2025, Take Me, made with ryan lopes, reached nervous records on 19 september 2025, and Bring It Back followed on shout label a week later on 26 september 2025.
then DIRTYBIRD. the Brasil ep came out on 7 november 2025 with his name at the front of it, two tracks written with two other brazilians, President with carvalho(BR) and Talkin' Too Much with balanka.
2026 kept the rate up and pushed him further out. GetUpGetDown with rimbano opened the year on black lizard records on 6 february 2026, Lo Siento with louis millne landed on repopulate mars on 27 february 2026, Bass Bass with gabe went to DOSMUNDOS on 27 march 2026, PILLS arrived on uprise music on 29 may 2026, and the Big Booty ep with john luz BR came through obsessions recordings on 12 june 2026.
