I used to have a bio here, but I reckon nobody really reads them, so now I’m keeping it straight to the point. Here’s a picture of me pontificating...
It was taken when I was at the Red Bull Music Academy in Rome 2004. It makes me appear as if I am deep in thought about something important, but I was probably just wondering whether I should have drunk that third Red Bull or not.
A little bit more about myself: I’ve been making beats for years, used to make a lot of hip-hop, used to play in a band called High Society (if you want to call abusing your drum-machine playing). Now I DJ around town, my sound being a genre-slutting combo of hip-hop, electro, funk, soul and mashups. I still make beats, if you wanna know what they sound like take a listen at the top of the page.

Hype On It (instrumental) by Richard tha IIIrd (the other way of spelling my name is on the sleeve) is on Dubvaults vol. 2. Fire! The full version of Hype On It which features scratching from my DJ accomplice, the Shady Lurker, was out on the SL mag CD comp for October 2006. You can listen to it on the SL site.
The new Zubz album is out. From the Outrageous Records stable, it's called Headphone Music in a Parallel World. You'll be hearing more about it soon, much more. I produced the track Creation, which features an ex student of mine, Themba January, on the keys.
