Where he's  from or how he  grew up is entirely irrelevant. When he started off and what he's influences were is  inconsequential. Listing the popular venues he has played or name dropping artist that support him would be disingenuous. This is because a short anecdotal paragraph loaded with DJ/remixer cliches wouldn't do his style, or his sound, any justice. ricardo lopes aka DJ RICK pride himself  on creating a unique musical experience, which can only be just that; experienced. But make sure to leave your pretense at the door 'cause you won't find any bullshit at one of his parties; only funky grooves, positive vibes and rampant debauchery. And while he doesn't claim to have reinvented the wheel, he does like to take that wheel down the road of sound for a ride so wild it wakes up the next morning with no tread smelling of burnt rubber and a wondrous sense of "let's do that again!". Act accordingly.
