Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, Rick Laplante's involvement in the party scene began in London, ON in early 1992 as a partner of Prism Productions, a project committed to hosting intimate gatherings with good vibes and fresh music. Unable to resist the siren song of the turntables for long, Rick began basement DJing later in 1992, with his first professional gig the following year.

His main musical influences came through London's proximity to Detroit and Toronto, where frequent weekend visits to these cities exposed him to some of the most groundbreaking underground sounds heard in the world during the early 90's. Rick has now been professionally DJing for over 25 years.

Rick's preferred club style is anything that can be described as groovy and/or bouncy tech-house, yet he also draws influence from his eclectic music collection - with flashes of myriad genres, ranging from techno to disco, breaks to jazz and from latin to lounge. He hasn't forgotten his musical roots from running the Detroit-Toronto corridor for years, either.  You can always expect the unexpected while Rick blends several different auditory flavours into his Dj sets.

Rick is active in the local scene of our Nation's Capital.  He promoted a weekly afterhours event, Sunrise, for its run of over 5 years, and now with his current promotions company "Framework Music", hosts Sunday Sessions, a long weekend Sunday dance party at Ottawa's legendary Mercury Lounge, since 2015.  Since 2017, Framework Music continues to host Ottawa's only legal and licensed all night dance event, White Rabbit, on 2 to 3 Saturdays every month inside City At Night.  2020 sees Rick start a less than monthly Saturday night residency at Mercury Lounge.  

As well as promoting events, Rick has performed many out of town gigs, from Montreal to Toronto, Boston to New York City and across north eastern North America.   Rick now has his sights firmly set beyond Ottawa's city limits by starting to delve into production work, with aspirations of launching his own label in coming years.
