EVIL EDDIE RICHARDS RETURNS TO NYC – SAT, AUGUST 14TH

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Join us Saturday, August 14th, as Rock It Science, Simply Bangin’ and Ampd! team up to welcome back to NYC one of the most respected house dj’s on the planet, the “Godfather of Techno & House” himself… “EVIL” EDDIE RICHARDS (Fabric, Wiggle, UK), who this time plays in support of his upcoming remix on RIS Labs of “Peak Time” out this September! As a resident at London’s world-famous Fabric nightclub, and one-third of the Wiggle… trio, Eddie’s name is synonymous with cutting edge British dance music. For more than 20 years, he has been a hugely influential figure on the UK scene, from DJing at some of the earliest British raves to starting up one of the first booking agencies (Dy-Na-Mix.) Join us as the original tech-house pioneer takes to the decks, bringing his unmistakable sound to the underground.

RIS label boss, DJ FAME (also known from his Dubsided & Potty Mouth releases), adds to the night his signature dirty house grooves we have grown to expect! Over the past few years, Fame has guested sets on dance floors from Hawaii to Russia, and many in-betweens, bringing with him his love for all things “tech”. The launch of RIS, along with West Coast counterpart Eric Sharp, has been the focus of his most recent efforts and the introduction of the label on to the dance world has been extremely well received.

The man behind the AMPD! parties right here in NYC, LEKS, knows what it takes to keep the party moving all night.. especially in his backyard! He’s been rocking the feet of New Yorkers for quite a few years, and has been at every respectable venue around to open for some of the world’s largest acts. It’s been a while since we’ve all done it together… But it’s definitely not the first time!

Simply Bangin’ resident, DIRTY DAN , joins in the action to get the night opened up proper. Dan recently relocated back to NYC from a 3 year stint in Alaska, where he held down numerous residencies, FM radio shows, and built a major global following for his podcast. This past year, he also released his first set of original tunes on UK’s Underphunk and On Time/Rise Records. He has also done some remix for for RIS to be released later this year.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH EVIL EDDIE RICHARDS & HIS RETURN TO NYC THIS WEEKEND!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

The return of the legend himself, “Evil” Eddie Richards, comes this weekend and we are proud as always to be the guys to bring him to you…live and direct :) Known to most as the “Godfather of Tech-House” it’s no secret that this guy has been around the block a few times and knows how to treat a dance floor!

If for some reason you have yet to come across this man’s profile, I’d say you probably need to do some homework on house music. If you haven’t had the chance to hear him for yourself, THEN I’d say you better be there this weekend!

We got a chance to ask Eddie a few questions about his career as a DJ and how he got there.

Eddie,

Welcome to a new year… a new decade… 2010! Thanks for taking the time to speak with us.

Was being a dj and producer always your career path, or was there ever anything else in mind?

I got into djing by starting a mobile disco with a friend at school. I really had no idea what I wanted to do as a career & at that time being a club DJ wasn’t even an option. There was no such thing as a career as a DJ, unless you were on a radio station.

How often does that keep you out on the road still, performing for your fans?

I’m playing out about once a week still, all over the world… and its enough for me these days.

What is DY-NA-MIX, and how did it get it’s start?

Dy-Na-Mix UK was a DJ booking agency that I started in 1990. It was the first dedicated DJ agency, I believe. When the rave scene started to grow in the late 80s, DJs needed some form of representation & we started off by booking tours for some American acts & DJs. The concept just grew & continued growing over 10 years. We had offices in Japan Germany Belgium Canada USA & even South Africa!

When was the first time you came to NYC, and what keeps you coming back?

I first came over in 1985 as a kind of pilgrimage.  All of the best DJs, clubs & record labels were in NYC & I NEEDED to check it out. I went to Paradise Garage, Zanzibar, Sound Factory, Studio 54 & others. I was able to catch guys like Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Junior Vasquez, Louie Vega, Frankie Knuckles and more of the original NYC players. Ive since been over at least once a year, firstly for New Music Seminar & then to DJ in most of the great NYC clubs over the years. Sullivan Room has become a sort of home for me over the past 5  years that I’ve visited. We always turn it out there!

Who are your top 3 producers of the moment?

I’m really liking Audiofly, MCDE, Dachshund at the moment.. plus lots of others of course.

Favorite memory of 2009?

Visiting Japan with my girl.. we both loved it there!
