RizlaDizla

This is my MY SPACE but who am I?I am RizlaDizla. I sometimes go by the name of Sean and I am an MC, DJ and Close Up Magician. I am mainly known for my MCing, in and around London at Hardcore dance events. I co run a Hardcore Record Label called Ruff Trixx Records with DJ Trickz and DJ on London's number one (and awarding wining) Eruption 101.3 FM (listen ok 12-12pm every Sunday and 6-8pm on Wednesdays with Trickz). Magic is one of my great passions and have been practicing close up magic since the age of 6.

I am from a little town called Harlow in Essex (The home of Hardcore). I got into the rave scene quite late in my life. My first rave was a One Nation near the end of Sep 2000 at the infamous Bagley Studios. After about 6 months of raving I started to DJ. Trickz (Known as Trixxy back then) use to just muck around on the decks. Not long after that my decks broke so picked up the mic. That was the start of my MCing adventure.
On A Mission Bristol 29 Decemeber 2001

My first booking was back in late 2001 called On A Mission in Bristol. This was put on by Deejaybee who also booked MCs Fugitive and Wotsee. Since then I have played at events such as Future Dance, Elation, Dreamscape, Raindance, Freeformation, Hardcore Euphoria as well as many others. My name first started to get noticed with my Elation residency in London, and my time spent with Sketchy & Compulsion around from 2002 to 2003.
Missing in Manchester 2007 @ M2 Nightclub

My decks didn't stay broken for too long so started to DJ at house parties and various internet radio stations. I love all types of Dance Music but prefer to play 80s/90s classics, Oldskool Hardcore, Happy Hardcore and of course upfront UK Hardcore.

RizlaDizla Mcing and Djing at the same time.

My first time in the Studio was In 2003 with Sketchy, Compulsion and Gammer. The track was never released but did well on the dance floors. It also gave me a taste for the studio and set me on my way to making the kind of sounds I wanted to hear. Grim Reefa was my first solo track and has gained quite a bit of norioty in the scene due to its funny yet dark samples. My first pressed release was also my first time in the studio with my Ruff Trixx partner in crime DJ Trickz. Another Dimension was the result. A New style bouncy tekno track with a nice toadstool break. It would be 2 and a half years later till Trickz and myself did another track together. It was near to this time that I took sometime off from a scene to work more on my magic.
RizlaDizla doing a magic trick at Raindance Feb 2006

I can remember the first time my granddad showed me a magic trick. I simple card trick but at the time I believed he had some kind of mystical power. I made him show me at once how it was done and wasn't long till I attempted it on my surrounding family. It didn't go too well but I continued to practice it over n over again until I had perfected it. After that I learnt more and more from various family members, learning theirs but never revealing mine. One visit to the cinema and BAAAMMMM David Blaine advertising erm, can't remember, but the trick has never left my mind. (I have made sure never to find out how to do this). Up until that time I had only performed basic effects. That trick had such an impact that I started to find out as much as I could and would spend hours upon hours in my bedroom practicing and rehearsing.
Giving MCing and DJing a rest, I slowly picked up work as a close up magician at restaurants, bars and private parties. I started taking mc bookings in late 2005 and quickly started adapt my magic style around the rave environment. I tend to do a lot of weird stuff such as playing with fire, cigarette magic, card and coin tricks. My biting coin trick is my most famous illusion to date.

In 2006 I went back into the studio making 4 tracks, Twilight Zone, Serial Killa, Fainted Bruv with featuring some of my most popular lyrics, and the Egg rip Soundwave. I try to make all my tracks have some kind of story to them. I love bouncy crazy hardcore, that doesn't take itself too seriously. Please do check my tracks out (or else) Even if you don't, by the time you have read all this profile, at least one of my songs would have played. I also have more tracks with my Ruff Trixx partner DJ Trickz and new recruit DJ Empathy.(check their myspace for more amazing sounds).

Add me for life and not just for Christmas...

Out to Tom who is a true friend. Who was there with me at the start? Could not have done this without you mate
