Studio mix from Rikochet.

DJ Rikochet JMA, Jungle Massive Australia.
1st generation Australian. Born 1971. Dutch Mother / English Father (which has influenced his music between UK breakbeat and Euro hardcore)
Rikochet began his DJing career at age 20 in the fresh and very underground 1991 Rave era. At the time, he was in the Australian Navy, which is how his earlier Dj pseudonym Popeye was created. Popeye’s first set launched at the legendary O’Mallys Hotel, Sunday recovery parties in Brougham St, Kings Cross, Sydney. Playing all styles of dance music from House, Trance, Rave, Hardcore, Breakbeat and Jungle. He became part of Sydney’s Rave and Breakbeat culture. DJing at various venues all around Sydney’s Clubs, Pubs and Warehouses, he become well known for his piano breakbeat and driving bass line style morning sets. With the release of the very popular, Junglistic Rowdiness and N4CER tape series in 94/94, Popeye’s sound was in demand.

During his early Rave career, Popeye played alongside Carl Cox, Slipmatt and many great Australian DJ’s. As a DJ competition panel judge, he also played numerous radio shows and was a columnist on the topic of Breakbeat and Jungle in the 90’s Rave journal, Juicy Red Apple & UK’s "Knowledge" magazine.

As a JMA founding member, Popeye was instrumental in championing the new cutting-edge sound of Jungle / Drum n Bass to Sydney through his various (and highly collectible) mix tapes. After the release of the JMA tapes (Vol 1. Jungle Massive Australia) in 1995, and a booking at Sydney’s Big Day Out festival (1997), Popeye changed names to Rikochet, and became the first Australian DJ to play Triple JJJ’s Mixup national radio 3 times, lagging only Carl Cox.
Since then, Rikochet has played alongside some of the most influential DJ’s and producers of the D&B community, such as Moving Shadow’s Rob Playford, Grooverider, Ratty, DJ SS, Kenny Ken, Dr S. Gachet, Chemistry & Storm, Klute and DJ Rap with MC Fearless to name a few.

After moving to Santa Barbara in 2015, Rikochet has played numerous gigs in LA, including multiple collabs with the 13 Crows Radio crew , DJ Binz & Jonny 5 and more recently with the local SB Jungle cats
33 years on, Rikochet now lives in California where he spends his free time balancing between a passion for Drum & Bass, Breaks & loads of old skool Jungle Techno, with a vinyl collection to die for.
