Bart Ricardo a real music addict ... his profound passion for house music in combination with his technical skills and wide selection of genres soon landed him bookings at parties, major clubs and radio shows. His mixing talent quickly gained support and recognition from iconic house artists. Bart Ricardo notoriously shared many DJ line-ups with the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Gene Farris, Green Velvet, Roy Davis Jr. and many many more …
He’s often invited all across Europe for parties and radioshows, also regular tours in Asia and America, this makes him a respected member of the house music community. 
Bart Ricardo first released a track in 2009 on the American imprint Herbal Essence. His ever-expanding discography contains releases on respected house labels such as Farris Wheel Recordings, Gourmand Music, and Frequency Spectrum. In 2012, he topped the charts of popular online stores with his “Boom Away EP” on Tango Recordings. He has also shown his talents by remixing successful projects of Lil’ Mark, Le Babar, Andrew Emil, Joss Moog. No stranger to collaboration, he shared productions with Chicago based Alinka (Shuteye), Belgium’s Nicolas Kenyon  and more recently with French producer JR From Dallas (Gourmand).
In 2013, Bart Ricardo proudly released “House Music All Night Long” as his second EP on Chicago’s Farris Wheel Recordings.
2014 was even more significant when he released the highly appraised “NYC EP” on Chicago’s Whitebeard label. That summer, Derrick Carter played “Spoken Words” in his sets and “Henry’s Philly” featured on Mark Farina’s GLA47 podcast and Roy Davis Jr. Clash Magazine podcast. The release would also earn him an honorable spot in Traxsource’s Jackin Top 200 chart of 2014. His 2014 remixes include JR From Dallas’ Acid Ghetto Street and Pha5e & Furmits’ Bring The Good Stuff, both for Gourmand Music. A successful appearance at AMWRadio and showcase of Good For You Records during ADE topped off another excellent production year.
From then on the future only gets brighter for Bart Ricardo, having the following years filled with exciting gigs in Europe and several tours in Asia & the USA. While in between travelling, he keeps working on fresh tracks and remixes for labels such as Melodymathics, Juiced and Farris Wheel and Gourmand.
