R-TRYBE presents ‘RETREAT 001’, the first release connected to the R-TRYBE Retreats, a Various Artists compilation that sets the tone for the wider project. Compiled in-house, the record brings together forward-leaning club music shaped by shared time and collaboration during the retreat environment. From deeper, rolling material to late-night hypnotic cuts, the focus is on cohesion and functionality across different settings.
Featuring Ed Hoffman, Marco Weber, Karjala, MAKARII, Hockaday and Dean Kabir, ‘RETREAT 001’ reflects distinct approaches shaped into a unified identity. Every artist who attends a retreat is included on the corresponding release, documenting the creative output formed on site.
R-TRYBE operates as both a label and creative platform founded by Huxley, Ramin Rezaie and BAKKIS. Built around a music-first philosophy, the project connects producers through education, feedback and collaboration, combining an online community with in-person writing retreats. Members can share works in progress, receive structured critique and take part in a community-driven label where submissions are voted on before a final curated selection is made, creating a balanced and transparent release process. The retreats extend this into a physical setting, allowing artists to live and work together across a focused week of studio sessions and workshops.
The next retreat takes place in Portugal from 01/11/26 to 08/11/26. Artists interested in attending can contact the team via Instagram DM at @rtrybeofc.
We are presenting DJ Hockaday’s ‘Sky Fall’.
‘RETREAT 001’ VA will be available after March 13th HERE.
