Dew Town Mayor is the solo project of Thomas Regnault, half of Rituel, deep house duo formed with Christophe Monier (The Micronauts). The first EP by Rituel, released in May 2012 on Micronautics, ignited the blogosphere and is supported by top DJs Jennifer Cardini, Slam, Luciano, Paco Osuna, In Flagranti, Acid Washed, diskJokke, Populette, Patrick Pulsinger, Donovans, Shadow Dancer, Photonz, etc. They're working on the second one, due in February.

After a remix for The Micronauts' latest single "Hoochie Coochie" and a track released on the compilation "Architekts", Thomas releases his debut EP on A-Traction Records, and exposes his taste for sophisticated techno. "HyoRo EP" displays a varicoloured range of melodic techno, from the dancefloor-friendly "HyoRo" to the deeper "De Profundis", not forgetting the powerful "Mystical Escape". The latter gets revisited by french techno superhero John Lord Fonda, who beautifies the track with his own voice to turn it into a hybrid techno-pop song.
