DJ Richard‘s vision of sound is coined by a darker approach to melodies and rhythms. Whilst his take on groove borrows the sex appeal of solid house music and contrasts it with heavier textures, the White Material co-founder combines a sense of ennui with a distorted DIY attitude, which has become his true signature move.

Recorded in New England during a harsh winter, DJ Richard’s latest ‘Path Of Ruin‘ EP on Dial features a sound that offers greater convenience for when it’s cold outside. The aptly-named opener, “Path of Ruin (Pain Mix)”, sets the tone straightaway: the track evolves around a meandering melody, grounded by thick steady drums. Like a slow stroll across a barren landscape, the track will have you going introvert as it discloses a lush landscape of emotions. Last ever copies!!
