DISCRIPTION Born somewhere in the 70’s,Rico grew up listening, taping and buying anything from soul to jazz, rock to disco, pop to hip hop and back again. Then in the early nineties, strongly inspired by the first house parties, it was only a matter of time that 80’s pop and hip hop were replaced by the latest house & techno releases from Detroit, Berlin and London.
