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
