He gets fired up when people get moved by the different styles of down tempo, deep house, dark disco, Indy dance, progressive, melodic and techno that he has been blessed to discover as well as his own productions influenced from sounds that he picked up from abroad. His recent productions are a bi-product of his Costa Rican/Italian ethnicity with the Latin electronic and indigenous culture that he has naturally embraced influenced from his lifetime journey through electronic, rock n’ roll, punk rock, old school hip hop, reggae and eventually to the music that he has been blessed to discover and share from deep within his crates.

Rik has the ability to find the right balance to fit the mood of any event from undergrounds to clubs to festivals to fashion shows, art shows, lounges and sporting events.  He can adapt his style to create the perfect  ambience for any atomsphere.  For special occasions he has even busted out vinyl playing old school hip hop, acid jazz and reggae along with other forms of electronic dance music from breaks to dubstep. Much of his musical influences come from his mother and music school playing trumpet and drums. He also produced snowboard & motocross films for 10 years where he mixed the soundtracks on vinyl live.
