BIOGRAPHY:
With cultural roots in Chile, Claudio Cesar Ricci grew up in a strong musical environment. His father was a singer in a South-American folklore band with revolutionary background. Due to the dictatorship, his parents were forced to emigrate to Austria. Ever since, this view on politics and especially music, played a major role in his life.
2002 he founded the event platform MoviMiento, together with his friend and colleague Richard Rohr (Dj Saliva). The continuous success of the event series DIVINE lead to further MoviMiento projects in Vienna..s legendary „Flex“ and the Sunshine Club at „Passage“. These cooperations are important milestones along Claudio Ricci’s way to Austria..s top Dj league.
2006 Claudio Ricci emphasized his skills as resident Dj for the underground house club NASTY at Volksgarten, where he played with acts such as Steve Lawler, Trentemöller, Booka Shade and many more. Because of his variety he also became one of the Gardenclub resident Djs as well as music and event manager at Volksgarten..s event agency TEAM:K. In the same year he joined the artist community Vienna Calling that syndicates the best-known Austrian clubhouse Djs.
In addition to these national highlights, Claudio Ricci..s success also crossed the borders in 2007. Gigs at Space / Ibiza, Monza / Frankfurt, Felix / Berlin, Creamfields Festival / Czech Republic, Tunisia, Hungary, Spain or the mega event Life Ball are part of his schedule.
In 2008 Claudio Ricci, Met D’Phunk and Ivan Bucko, launched CLIVA, an innovative producing project. The preconditions for a successful collaboration were given right from the start: similar to Claudio Ricci, Met D' Phunk gained prestigious reputation, playing in clubs all over Europe. Ivan Bucko, completed the team by adding his musical talent and providing his broad knowledge in music production theory. Together they already made remixes for Robbie Rivera’s Juicy Music label and the Delicious Djanes.
In the same year he founded, together with Aleks Gavric, the event agency “Schlaflos Eventsâ€. The first club series “Nachtigall†were a huge success with outstanding artists as Timo Maas, SIS, Nick Curly, Tiger Stripes or Jona.
2009 he launched his own radio show called Polyphone, a weekly two hour session on play.fm. The first hour reflects his favourite tracks of the week and in the second hour he is all ears for a guest artist! The show guarantees two enlightening hours of electronic music.
Claudio Riccis spectrum comprises every subgenre of house music. His sets are dynamic, diverse and across-the-genre. Because of this flexibility he plays deep to tech house with acts such as The Chemical Brothers, Kenny Dope, Eric Prydz aka Pryda, Groove Armada and many more.
Claudio Ricci's sound conveys an absolute positive attitude to life without any musical compromises and guarantees a successful club night.
“I’m inspired by the mixture of beats, percussions and melody that I find in my music. When everyone is dancing, the party is really perfect†says Claudio Ricci.
