RICCIRICH 2023 MIX

I grew up in London and have always been into Dance Music. It was always House and Garage through my younger years but as I got into my early teens I started listening to jungle mixtapes! Some of the first ones I ever bought were “Jungle Massive” and “Helter Skelter”. Soon enough Drum & Bass was the only music I listened to.
As the years went by my love for Drum & Bass only grew more and more, I started going out to clubs in London to events like; “Sticky” “Jungle Fever” & “Moon Dance.
A few of my friends started inviting me to underground raves and free parties, it showed me a different vibe and introduced to me to more than just the generic Drum & Bass I had been listening to!
I got into mixing 8 years ago, a lot of my friends had been doing it for a while and I always wanted to do it myself. I had a good ear for the music already and knew what it took to get a crowd hyped so I started practising and learning from the people around me.
Fast forward to now and I’m confident as a DJ, I’m a resident for Chaotic Waves

NBC9 released his second full-length album State of Control on September 19, 2025, a record that defines his cinematic, bass-driven take on drum and bass. The album follows his 2024 return and marks a key milestone in a journey that has reestablished him as a progressive force in the genre.

This December, he delivers Fragments 2.0, a major follow-up to the original Fragments project. The new release features remixes from @user-449697299, @Psidream, @quoonemusic, @Omneum, @brukout_ca, @iconsdnb, the-mind-hackers, @djNORTY, @YASUKI1214, @d0shi-music, and @diodeofficial— each reinterpreting tracks from State of Control through their own lens, spanning deep, dark, and high-energy variations of drum and bass. Like its predecessor, which showcased Exile, YASUKI, Xtinctor, Lunatronic, AGRO, Irontype, and JRace & Albert White, Fragments 2.0 continues NBC9’s vision of connecting global artists through shared sonic experimentation.

As the head of Embassy 9 Recordings, NBC9 has created a home for his own output as well as a space for collaborators to explore forward-thinking drum and bass. His productions are designed with a dual purpose: to resonate in personal listening settings and to hit with power on dancefloors.

Before his return to drum and bass, NBC9 built an underground reputation under the name Influenza in the early 2000s nu skool breakbeat scene. Releases on Pure Funk, Illeven Eleven, Sponge, and Epidemic reached audiences across North America and the UK, with his music played in iconic venues such as Fabric London.

Two decades on, NBC9 stands with more clarity and intent than ever, blending experience with innovation to drive a sound that continues to evolve.
