BIOGRAPHY
Sam Galbraith aka Riccocha is no new kid on the block with having played at events in Ibiza, Germany, Poland, Ireland and all over the United Kingdom. Back in the day he was an award winning hard dance producer in the 90's who also donned the covers of Mixmag and M8 magazines. He has now cast aside his roots and been firmly thrust into the trance world as Riccocha. Riccocha has become one of the hottest trance acts to hit the scene in a long time! Creating a mass media stir for his highly energetic sets and Techtrance Electro styled club smashes such as Eletrik, All Together Now & New Age which have gained full support from the likes of Judge Jules, Guy Ornadel, Mark Sherry, Eddie Halliwell, Tiesto, Marc Van Linden, Matt Darey and various major radio stations across the world. Riccocha’s live sets consist of non stop fully charged banging trance energy complete with twisting and bending of electro sounds live and direct. Riccocha likes to play the crowd into a frenzy with teasing builds and euphoric mayhem. Riccocha has also recently been tipped 'one to watch' by mixmag.
Riccocha continues to be excellently received around the globe, with Judge Jules supporting Riccocha's latest track Eletrik on his BBC Radio One dance show. All four mixes have also received huge support from the likes of Tiesto, PVD, Armin, A&B, Solarstone, Matt Darey, Ronski Speed, Bart Claessen, Agnelli&Nelson, Mark Sherry, DR Willis and many more.
His 'New Age' release which featured mixes from Monumental Euphoria and Major Players was released on Definitive Music Recordings and received massive support from dj’s across the globe including Matt Darey, Marc Van Linden and Tiesto. New Age has been a great success for Riccocha as it reached number four in the world trance charts and still remains to be a strong favourite with clubbers across the globe.
Riccocha has also received critical acclaim from fans, producers and dj’s alike for his massive tech trance anthem 'All Together Now' which is a rework of The Farms nineties classic. This track also received massive support from the likes of BBC Radio Ones Judge Jules, Ministry of sounds Guy Ornadel, Mark Sherry (Public Domain) etc. It also kept the crowds of Insideout @ the arches, Gatecrasher and Slinky rocking as their tried and tested anthem.
The Riccocha sound has been described as "Hard edged trance with melodic uplifting tones to send any crowd into a frenzy" (Mixmag).
