D E E P E R   L I F E - Rikki Newton

With over two decades of DJing and industry experience behind him, Rikki Newton’s dedication to music is readily displayed through his dexterous and versatile sets, as well as his involvement in the Brisbane scene as a promoter running events like Andromeda Festival, the now defunct Subtrakt and his most recent project, inner_circle. 

Cutting his teeth at Family Nightclub’s notorious Uncle between 2004-2009, Rikki gained a well-deserved reputation as a go-to warm up DJ for the duration of his five year long residency. These formative years played a key role in him honing in on his sound and perfecting his craft.

Not content with simply presenting his own sound to a growingly eager Brisbane audience, Rikki harnessed the momentum building in the local scene and poured it into his own brand, Subtrakt. Since its inception in 2007, Subtrakt played host to the likes of Kenny Larkin, Fred P, Steffi, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Move D, Smallpeople Claire Morgan and Jane Fitz to name a few. After 10 years it was time to move onto something new and thus, Inner_Circle was born alongside good friend Leighton James.

Now in it's 5th year, inner_circle continue's to present diverse line-ups, including revered internationals alongside solid local and interstate guests. Inner_Circle has welcomed the likes of DjRUM, Martyn, Claire Morgan, Moopie, Perko, Kate Miller, Andy Garvey, Escape Artist, Cousin and Pugilist to it's stages.

Staying true to what he loves and armed with a constantly updated record collection, Rikki remains an integral player in his local circuit and beyond.
