This attention has since led to a continuous stream of record releases throughout the world on labels such as Lowbit Records, Baroque, Manual Music, Perc Trax, Triplefire Music, Golden Wings Music and more.

His area of work extends beyond dance music, having composed music for film and television and often being credited as recording, mixing and mastering engineer for artists and labels, as well as lecturing audio subjects at tertiary level.

Besides his work as a DJ and producer, Ryan also successfully runs the record label Triplefire Music, which through his KONA and label events and monthly show on Frisky Radio, is constantly growing to reach thousands of people each month.
