Pure Science Live @ Kimberly July 2010

"Devotion is the main aim—to try to encourage commitment in people." The fabric resident and Houghton festival founder discusses his love of the crowd, DJing and more.

Craig Richards, arguably one of UK dance music's most respected DJs, is normally averse to the spotlight. But the multi-hyphenate artist and fabric resident has played the London institution every Saturday for nearly two decades, DJing alongside fellow household names like Ricardo Villalobos and Nicolas Lutz. Over the years, Richards has profoundly shaped the canon that's defined the space and its programming week in and week out.

He’s keenly attuned to other DJs and the flow of a night, and he's not indebted to one particular style or genre. In a Resident Advisor feature from 2019, Ray Philp described his sound as "intergalactic space metal" that goes far beyond techno, house or electro, instead interplaying classics with deep, headsy tunes that he tirelessly seeks out every week.

In this interview with RA's European deputy editor Carlos Hawthorn, Richards talks about what makes a good record, and the DJ's role as a bridge between the past and present. He also discusses his endeavours beyond the booth—most notably the idyllic festival he started in 2017, Houghton, which is set in the English countryside—and his passion for painting and cross-disciplinary creativity. Listen to the episode in full.

"The mix is a cut from my warm up for Dj Koolt and Rhadoo in room 1 from April. I was trying out some newer bits, quite a lot of music from friends." - Harry McCanna

"The warm-up slot has always been a setting that feels natural to me.
I have been a resident at Phonotheque since my years living in Uruguay up until 2017 (and I still proudly hold that residency today). Back then, playing on rotation across all time slots gave me the chance to experiment and grow as an artist. Later, in 2019, after moving to Europe, I also became a resident at Cartulis, and this ongoing rotation of slots has continued to this day in both residencies.

Playing at a club like Fold is both a luxury and a rare comfort, something that makes everything flow more easily and enjoyably.
This set is a memory of a very special night, recorded on January 28th, 2023. I opened the night, followed by Radioactive Man, Nicolas Lutz, Unai Trotti, Vass, and Walrus." Z@p

GIAMMARCO ORSINI b2b MARCOLINO - GOAULTRABEAT curated by Francesco Del Garda | 19.06 H. Butterfly

Hailing from Barcelona, Lis Sarocca is an artist very much on the rise and her ever growing discography will go some way to explain why. She has starred on standout releases from the likes of MAAI, Tresydos, Smallville, Chiwax, Shall Not Fade, a vintage Mobilee entry, and the excellent collab between Anna Walls’ The Bricks and System Error. 

A regular fixture at some of Europe and America’s finest parties, she has written a line under a fantastic summer with a lauded performance at this year’s Dimensions Festival. There is no sign of the Spaniard turning in for the year as she continues to light up dancefloors wherever she appears.

Her recording for our InSession series is testament to this and her sunny disposition shines through in this mix as she guides us through bass heavy, breaky goodness, dubby deep house, with stop offs in wiggly disco heaters and more than a few wonky stations along the way. 

Upcoming gigs - 

Friday 26.09 - Seguim presents Lis Sarroca

Saturday 25.10 - Balearic Electric at 303

Lis Sarroca - Trommel InSession 162

With France having so many luminaries in the electronic music world, Automatic Writing had taken their place some time ago. The trio of artists that comprises Guillermo Jamas, Jacan and Darween have been a constant source of inspiration through their label output, expansive events, and immersive DJ sets. Their approach to groovy house music spans as many sub genres as you can imagine, but the result is always the same - a packed sweaty dancefloor.
