Rido
Pavel Ridoško, who records as Rido, is a Prague‑based producer of drum and bass. He works primarily as a studio producer and performs DJ sets across Europe. His output appears on international drum and bass labels including Metalheadz, Blackout Music NL, Hospital, Black Hole and Skint.
Rido studied sound engineering at SAE in Sydney. That formal training underpins both his studio work and his scoring work for screen and stage. He composes music for film and theatre — credits include the HBO series Westworld, the Czech feature film Milada, and the theatre production Élektra — alongside his club releases.
As a producer, Rido’s tracks show a strong emphasis on precise drum editing and clear low‑end. His production technique favors tight, layered percussion and careful transient shaping to keep kicks and snares defined at dancefloor levels. Bass design in his work typically uses focused sub‑fundamentals with midrange movement for definition rather than broad, indistinct rumble. He often combines those elements with cinematic, atmospheric pads and textural FX that reflect his scoring work; the result sits between darker, tech‑leaning rollers and more polished, club‑friendly DnB. Mix clarity and measured use of reverb and automation are recurring traits across his releases.
Rido’s career spans record releases, broadcasting and composition. He has released on Metalheadz, Blackout Music NL, Hospital, Black Hole and Skint, and he has been featured on label podcasts and mixes for outlets such as Blackout and Metalheadz. He also performs DJ sets across Europe, representing those releases in live contexts. In parallel, his commissioned music for screen and stage — Westworld, Milada and Élektra — demonstrates his role as a producer who moves between club tracks and scoring briefs.
Publicly available interviews and profiles that list Rido’s named influences are limited. What is verifiable is the crossover between his label catalogue and his scoring work: releases on labels like Metalheadz and Hospital sit alongside credits for television, film and theatre, which listeners can trace through his catalog and broadcast mixes.
Rido remains active from Prague as a producer and touring DJ, continuing to release on international drum and bass labels while composing for film and theatre.
