Eddie Richards

Eddie Richards has been a prominent feature of the UK House music scene since its inception in the mid 1980s. Dubbed as the UK's Godfather of House, he has been at the very heart of the UK's Dj, nightclub and House music scene for generations, since the time when nightclubs first started opening in the UK. As an idea of the influence he has had, Eddie was the first person to bring Djs such as Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Moby, Jeff Mills and Todd Terry to the UK, via the UK's first Dj agency Dy-Na-Mix, which he created. He is also credited as being a main curator of the Tech House sound.

Today, Eddie Richards remains an authority in House music. He continues to work as a cutting edge Dj, producer and label boss whose sound is distinctively underground with a raw, forward looking yet classic feel. Eddie also works with Nathan Coles and Terry Francis to complete the trio of Wiggle residents, the groundbreaking London based Tech House institution where the real Tech House sound originates from.

Eddie Richards has done a fascinating interview with DJ History which is strongly recommended reading. Some very interesting stuff in there, including great info on his career, details about Larry Levan's set up, a story about Pete Tong which.....well.....

Somehow, it is reassuring to know that Eddie Richards is still going strong, against the seemingly relentless tide. Here is some music from Eddie's long and distinguished career

The Nick Straker Band - Loft Music

A Little Bit Of Jazz by The Nick Straker Band is a bonafide Loft classic played by David Mancuso at his New York Loft parties which began in the 1970s. Loft parties involved no entry fee, no alcohol, no mirrors, a high end sound system, great music and lots of dancing. They were private parties which helped to lay down the blueprint for nightclub culture, disco and house music. These parties were attended by the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan and Tony Humphries and played a massive role in influencing the shape of dance music.

The Nick Straker Band were an English group who mixed disco and jazz influences to create music full of live percussion, synths, funky basslines, repetitive sections and a strong 4/4 beat which shows nicely how disco was evolving into house. They released music in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The KLF - Chill Out

For many people, Chill Out by the KLF is part of the soundtrack of their life. Chill Out is one of the all time great ambient albums.

The KLF, who were also known as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (The JAMMs) and The Timelords, had a bizarre and colourful period in music during the late 1980s and early 1990s, during which they played a huge role in bringing the sound of house music and dance music to the masses, especially in the UK. They were experimental, artistic and surreal, all of which made them something brilliant and unique

The Crusaders

The Crusaders were a jazz, rock and funk band which began its journey in the 1950s. They were serious musicians who had a lot of fun with their music and released a whole range of great albums and songs, many of which were instrumentals. Possibly their best known record, Street Life, has been remixed by Opolopo who adds a house groove and some very nice bass and keyboard work with what sounds like a Moog

Sweden's HNNY is unpredictable but always exciting in his Dj and production work. Flitting between soulful house, deep house, chillout and beats, HNNY could be up to anything at any one given time. His productions are quite experimental with a live Dj feel and when he plays as a Dj he likes to mix it up. Inventive, fresh music for the 21st century, with a big nod to what has come before and some serious diggin' going on, HNNY (pronounced honey) is not afraid to express himself to the full through the music
