Topanga born Etienne Stehelin (aka Rithma) first emerged between 1999-2001 with a string of 12”s on Om Records, Tweekin, Beau Monde, and others. After 2 full length albums and many sleepless nights, Rithma disappeared in 2009 to explore his addictions, several rehabs, and various career options. He is now safe, healthy, and making music again, living with his Wife & 2 children in Los Angeles.
