Born in Oviedo (Asturias) in 1981, Reeko is a DJ who has rapidly attained recognition other artists have taken a long time to gain. In his case, it’s not been a matter of chance or coincidence, but the result of his innate and incredible capacity to be prolific, alongside his obsession for perfection. Although he marks his birth as a DJ in 1997, it wasn’t until his first release in 2002, under the Swedish label Emergence, that he became known professionally.

Juan Rico uses a variety of aliases to release the diverse artistic sensations which flow through him, these are all characteristics that define his personality and are an intrinsic part of Reeko himself.

Reeko’s “pathological” label/laboratory, Mental Disorder, was created in 2003 and is the imprint under which he has released a plethora of works of ever-increasing quality. ‘The Day After’ (2010) still holds its title as one of the best releases in Hispanic Techno. His latest release ‘Natural Causes’ MD24 with Psyk gained huge support across the board. Collaborations signed to t...
