JC Lobo of Ritualz
Known for his intense, immersive live performances, Ritualz (a.k.a. Juan Carlos “JC” Lobo Garcia) has been a pioneering force in the dark electronic and witch-house scenes since the early 2010s. With releases like Doom and Radical Macabro, he’s carved out a distinct sound - equal parts haunting atmosphere and industrial aggression - that resonates with underground audiences around the world.
A true DIY touring artist, Ritualz has spent the last decade bringing his music to stages across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S., building a cult following through sweat, distortion, and sheer sonic power. Sadly, his most recent U.S. tour was unexpectedly cancelled, cutting short what was set to be another powerful run through the country’s underground venues.
This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of dark electronic music’s most uncompromising voices. Come hang, ask questions, and go behind the scenes with Ritualz this Thursday at 6pm PT.
