“Composistion with very vigorous arrangement and electrified unique vocals! Its unique skill is simple, without unnecessary sounds. Moving between different stages of this production, the general perception is just privileged!”
“Очень бодрая аранжировка, ровный, размеренный темп композиции наэлектризованный уникальным вокалом! Неповторимое умение легко, без лишних звуков, переходить между разными этапами композиции, от чего общее восприятие только преумножается!”

RIAA and ARIA platinum certified Australian music writer, producer, remixer and DJ Ryan Riback has released his original single ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ featuring Dotter today via New Tribe Music/Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
Hailing from Johannesburg but calling Melbourne his home, Ryan Riback is one of the most in demand remixers, having worked on remixes for Kelly Clarkson, Clean Bandit, Maroon 5, Kygo, LAUV and Khalid to name a few. Most notably, his remix of Starley’s ‘Call On Me’ is now certified ARIA Triple Platinum and RIAA Platinum, hitting the top of the charts around the globe, when at the time, both were virtually unknown artists. The quiet achiever has amassed well over one billion streams.
Although he loves remixing records, Riback’s passion is in his own releases and collaborations and now he's back with his next single, ‘(Just Can't) Hate U’. An anthemic pop record about break ups and not being able to let go, the track was produced by Ryan in Melbourne. On how the track came about, Ryan says, “My team sent me the demo of this record and I immediately fell in love with the concept. I loved the vocal delivery and the feel of it. It feels super current, so I took it, laid down some Riback vibes. Honestly, it came together quickly!”
The track follows on from Riback’s original single ‘Wrong’ (featuring Olivia Noelle), released in June 2020. Fusing pop sensibilities with an infectious midtempo club beat and buoyed by Olivia’s melodic vocals, ‘Wrong’ highlighted Riback’s talent to produce immediately recognisable pop bangers, amassing over 1.5 million worldwide streams.
Ryan Riback is not your average pop/dance music producer. He prefers to lock himself away in his Melbourne studio collaborating remotely, playing video games, laughing at memes/dad jokes, and considering the reality of extra-terrestrials infiltrating the upper echelons of government.
With the pandemic slowing things down, Riback has been spending time with his family. He notes, “I've done bits of music here and there, but I've kind of been saving all the good stuff for when the world started to open up again"
