I'm a sucker for chill, ambient, liquid D&B and so here you go. I pictured Hunter and Dr. Gonzo stumbling upon a church on the strip in the 70s, high as kites, while a church goer describes how God made the world.

Bio:
Ricco has left an indelible mark on the Pacific Northwest electronic music scene, spanning almost three decades. Exposed to music at a young age through his Caribbean roots, Ricco got his first pair of turntables in 1997 and became obsessed with electronic music, developing a particular taste for House, Breaks, Garage, 2Step, Drum & Bass and underground Hip-Hop. Ricco’s early artist inspiration came from artists like Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, St. Germain, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, Mark Farina, Derek Carter, Carl Cox and the eclectic sounds of the K7, DJ Kicks mix series as well as following labels like Moonshine, Tango, Strictly Rhythm, Ovum, Classic, Hooj Tunes, Naked Music, Roulette, LowDown, Nightshift and Double Down. These inspiration’s cultivated a deep-seated passion for electronic music, shaping Ricco’s unique sound as a budding, young DJ which later led to Ricco providing direct support to a laundry list of international acts such as Gene Farris, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Ardalan, Dam Swindle, J.Phlip, The Greenskeepers, Matt the Alien, The Librarian, Barisone, Garneau, The Della Kit, Barisone, Johnny Fiasco, Fashmob, Luke McKeehan and Lawnchair Generals.

Ricco has also held a handful of residencies in Vancouver including Goodhousekeeping at Fortune Sound Club, La Discotech at Modern, Fast Life at Republic, Bar None Saturdays, and Lotus Sound Lounge for the notorious Lotus Long Weekend events. Major Festival appearances include Basscoast Festival, Shambhala, Nelson Mural Festival, Valhalla Festival, TEDx Vancouver as well as appearances in the US including Seattle, Portland and Bend Oregon. Ricco has also played at some of Vancouver’s most notable music venues such as Beaumont Studios, Gorg-O-Mish, Open Studios, Red Room, Celebrities and the internationally acclaimed Commodore Ballroom.

In 2019, Ricco co-founded JK Gaultier with Keegan James. This venture birthed the JKG Mix Series, a mix series amplifying local talent as well as a home base for hosting club nights around Vancouver. To-date, JK Gaultier has hosted such events as TILT, MOVE, SWITCH, A Holiday Rave, Ardalan (Dirtybird), J.Phlip and INSOMNIA at the Beaumont Studios; these events have included local talent such as Unmarried Woman, IHA, Neighbour, Garneau, Vinyl Ritchie, Hoola & Lion S. and Max Ulis to name a few. The project has also fostered the launch of Goodhouseeking on Bside Radio, a radio show airing every second Friday of the month 6:30pm - 8:30pm that features all sounds house music with a pepperings of breaks, broken beat, world, afro and latin. Hosts of Goodhousekeeping include Ricco, Keegan James and Kon Radd. Ricco's monthly residency is currently at Fox Cabaret (Vancouver); a night called Cue Club Vancouver (https://shorturl.at/nFL08) every last Sat of the month where you'll hear House, Funk, Breaks and Soul to keep you grooving on the dance floor.

Ricco is a current stage curator for Valhalla Festival, board member of the Beaumont studios and loving cat daddy 😸.
