Tevo Howard’s Tyrez moniker first debuted on Steffi’s Dolly imprint as a way of showing the darker, more passionate sides of dance underneath the umbrella of Chicago house, and here he returns as Tyrez for another four tracks on his own label. The A-side features two mixes of “Moda”; the “High Fashion pop mix” is the kind of masterful key-drenched vintage house we’ve come to expect from the producer, while the “Underground Fashion house mix” opts for a more raw approach. The flip sees a turn into deep and hypnotic 2am techno territory, featuring “Obsessions (Plastic mix)” with its twisting, pulsing bass and syncopated beats, and “Relationship” with its stacked analogue arpeggios and defined 4/4 pulse.

Lionel Melgar and Tevo Howard first met via independent circles of friends in 1988. They began a friendship anchored by their passion for skateboarding and DJing. Recalling the first encounter at Lionel's childhood home, the turntables and music (new wave and Chicago house) were an absolute mutual attraction. Growing up in Chicago during the 80's helped form Ruby's palette, rich with electronic influences of disco, italo, house, post-punk, and industrial. They made many DJ appearances in Chicago's underground. In 1992, the two retired from the turntables turning to instrumentalism and incorporated another cohort, Gustavo Guerra, who played guitar in the Chicago alt-rock scene and finally connected with Lionel and Tevo through music projects that started and ended in the living room of Lionel's apartment. Ruby's debuts were limited to freshly cooked CD's and car stereos until now. Ruby is a collaboration of friendships sharing a musical bond and electronic soundscape interfaced through Lionel Melgar's electronic wizardry and seamless production, Tevo Howard's House expertise and analog hardware, and Gustavo Guerra's instrumentals. Tevo has said,'This band is also at its very beginning stages as we are just getting started. More
