Richie Monaghan AKA R.E.C. is a DJ/Producer who hails from Donegal, Ireland and now resides in Boston, Massachusetts.  Richie’s addiction for electronic music first came to fruition when attending Festivals such as Homelands and Creamfields in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. In 2002 a move to Dublin allowed him to quench his thirst for his newfound passion. By paying regular visits to all of the thriving clubs that Dublin had to offer and after bearing witness to sets from Carl Cox, John Digweed, Sasha, Sander Kleinenberg and Richie Hawtin, his obsession for dance music grew.  At this point a purchase of Technics 1210’s was imminent. 

Over the next few years, Richie locked himself away and carefully began developing his DJ skills and investing every penny he had in to his increasing record collection. By constantly piecing together mixes and networking with promoters, he eventually emerged to play his debut gig at the club where he soaked up all of his inspiration, the Pod nightclub in the old Red Box establishment.  A dream come true. During his time in Dublin he began to expand his horizons by dipping a tentative toe in to the world of production and by attending numerous production classes and seminars. He also gained some rudimentary production skills from his good friend Gavin Lynch (aka Matador). Richie often focuses on the forgotten art of “the warm up DJ” and so you will very rarely find him tapping in to pastures over 124bpm. This ensured his demand, gaining support slots across Ireland and Massachusetts for world class dj’s such as John Digweed, Matador, The Japanese Popstars, Mr. C and of late his new production partner Confute. His friendship with Gary Curran (aka Confute) had long been established since the late 90’s. Richie was a highly respected customer of the record shop Gary used to work in and the two became good friends. They both now reside in Boston, and they have decided to experiment and collaborate on music.  Their first coproduced track “2002” was released on Bedrock Records and an EP named Unexpected was released on Compatible Records earlier this year. The triple header of originals, ('Unexpected', 'Le Dot' and 'Double Down') received further abutment, owing to a package of stomping remixes from the well-established David Scuba and Eden of East. The EP was well received by some of dance music's top DJ's. R.E.C. is now a resident DJ with Boston based promoters, Dusk Till Done.
