Richard Jones is a music obsessive. Specifically, that most ambiguous of underground electronic musical 'genres' techno...........Rich has been mesmerised by this hypnotic hybrid of house since his first forays into the world of clubbing and dance music at the age of 17, in 1997. From djing, and acquiring a local residency in his home town of fareham, he soon got the itch to produce his own tunes in the year 2000, spurred on and inspired by djs and artists such as Richie Hawtin, Mr G, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Christian Smith & John Selway, Devilfish, James Ruskin, Oliver Ho, Surgeon, Joel Mull, Adam Beyer, Mark Broom, Tony Thomas, Craig Richards, Timo Maas & Martin Buttrich, Layo & Bushwacka, Sasha, and many more..........and after getting his first very basic setup with a friend, he set about producing his own tracks, finally. And after years of self taught fiddling with programs, and scouring music guides and magazines, his music is finally contributing to getting people to boogie, worldwide. And after all, it is all about the boogie.
Rich has had support for his tracks from John Selway, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Josh Wink, Mistress Barbara, Mark Broom, Gary Beck, Pheek, Tony Thomas, Kobbe, Dj Misjah, Anthony Pappa, Rob Pearson, Raymundo Rodrgiquez, Jim Rivers, Valentino Kanzyani, Mistress De Funk, Fergie, Dave Turov, Dave Robertson and many more.
Releases out, and dropping soon, on Minimal and Melodies Music, Punch Funk, Plug Recordings, T-Bahn, Transmissions, Evasive, Dirty Planet and CSM.
Rich has been obsessed and utterly mesmerised with music since he was an infant, playing with modulation and midi on his first yamaha keyboard at the age of 7, inspired by new romantic synthesizer music of the time, and has aspired to be involved with music ever since. Never finding the time to learn music classically, electronic computer based music production opened up the dream. Techno is the perfect musical infrastructure for him to express his many musical influences and visions in a uniquely characteristic way, whilst still following the ultimate goal of any form of dance music - to be useful to djs, and to make people have no choice but to shake their asses, and lose themselves in the music.......Because, when it comes down to it, it's ALL about the dancing!
