Growing up in the 90s, I was into Garage. In the early 2000s, I was buying Grime vinyl's. Then, when I was old enough, I started going to clubs in London; Matter (o2), Cable (London Bridge), 93 Feat East  (Shoreditch) and Fabric (Farringdon). 

In 2010, I saw the rise of Jamie Jones at DC10. In 2011, I was on the dance floor at Space (Hi Ibiza) when Carl Cox played a 10 hour set to celebrate his 10 year residency. In 2012, I was in Amnesia when Marco Carola started his legendary Music On events. 

On New Year's Day 2013, I DJ'd at Ministry of Sound in London following MK, who was making his meteoric return to music. I saw his return sparked by Loss Foss playing his 90's house music at Creche, combined with a tune from Maya Jane Coles called "What You Say" which was the hit record in 2011, the year I "done the season" in Ibiza. That year I DJ'd at the iconic Cafe Del Mar on the Ibiza sunset strip.

When I came back to London, I was DJing on the same lineup as East End Dubs for an event called Connected. This was back in the day when EED used to make minimal deep house, which was the trend at the time. I believe the events are still visible on Resident Advisor when I used to DJ under a different name. I also had my mixes played on KISS 100 radio. I probably still have that mix on my hard drive somewhere.

Back then, I was going to events all over London, the regular ones were Fuse, Jaded, Half Baked, Solo Danza, Picnic, Mullet Over and fabric.

Over the last 18 years, I have seen... 
Many trends come and go. 
Many clubs open and close. 
Many DJs rise and fade. 

However, one thing is for sure, house & techno is bigger than ever. It constantly evolves, and there is a never-ending stream of new clubbers entering the scene.

These days 50% of the music I listen to is Techno. I like sets from Alarico, Skudge, Fadi Mohem, John Talabot, Ben Klock and Rohad. I find it's great concentration music when I need to get things done, but admittedly, I've spent less time at techno raves. I also listen to sets from East End Dubs, Josh Baker, Ion Ludwig, Voigtmann, old school grime.

Accumulatively, I've spent hundreds of hours on the dance floor and behind the decks.  

In 2014, I sold my Technics 1210's, my Pioneer DJM 900 Mixer, amp and speakers. 

Over the last 15 years, I've been "playing about" with Ableton in my spare time. I enjoy making all types of house music with old-school grime samples, toms and gritty baselines and synths. 

I plan to upload my old tracks and I'll include the date I made it.

No releases.

Something special was developing in London's rave culture during the mid-2000's. A generation of like-minded artists and promoters with similar tastes in house and techno formed a genuine scene with a spirit and alchemy that has propelled its instigators far and wide. Rich NxT was enjoying being part of the movement, frequenting the many seminal East London venues we still talk about now.

Born in 2008, FUSE London carved its own unique position on the scene with its infamous Sunday free parties at 93 Feet East. As one of FUSE’s original residents, Rich played a major part in the brand’s evolution, helping take it from a free afterparty to one of the most respected event brands and labels on the planet. As a core FUSE artist, Rich has delivered 11 classy EPs on the FUSE London imprint. In October 2020, the debut album ‘Know the Score’ lands, his crowning career achievement. The 10-tracker spans the full breadth of the house genre and is the culmination of 20 years production work, taking influence from his varied involvement in music as a DJ, raver, drummer in bands and pirate radio devotee, devouring the sounds on Weekend Rush FM.

Elsewhere the DJ/producer draws on his strongly identifiable sound to run two vinyl imprints,NxT Records and What NxT. The tastemaker favourites draw influence from techno and minimal house, while never forgetting Rich’s raver roots taking influence from jungle and hardcore.

His DJ highlights include appearances at most of the scene’s major venues such as DC-10 (Paradise, Cuttin’ Headz) Watergate, Space, Amnesia, Robert Johnson, Warehouse Elemenstratt, Mint Warehouse, Tobacco Docks, Studio 338 and The Warehouse Project. At the same time, he is versatile enough to command the decks over long sets at intimate venues such as Hopetosse, Ibiza Underground, Bret and CDV. Festival appearances in 2019 included Cocoon in The Park, BPM and Mint Festival.

Releasing regularly, he’s gained the support of many other DJs including The Martinez Brothers, Tini, Marco Carola, Enzo Siragusa, Jamie Jones, WAFF,Steve Lawler, MEAT, Matthias Kaden, East End Dubs, Alan Fitzpatrick, Eats Everything and Darius Syrossian.

Prior to his ‘Know The Score’ album dropping, Rich enjoyed an industrious first half of 2020, including a huge EP on WYLD, collaborative work with Darius Syrossian (Moxy Muzik) and remixes for INFUSE, Moan and SASH.

Meanwhile he continues to demonstrate a very keen ear with What NxT delivering the goods for new and established artists alike. Rich also continues his radio residency on Rinse FM with Fuse London and launches a new weekly show on Ibiza Global Radio
