About Richie T

Richie is an established Vinyl DJ who has been DJing since 1987 at the tender age of 13. Having worked alongside DJs such as Judge Jules, and Anne Savage when they performed in Weymouth, Richie has also played at various events around the UK and in the Channel Islands. Richie is also a resident on a local community FM radio station Air 107.2 who does a vinyl revival show every Friday evening from 10pm covering various genres.

Primarily a hardhouse/trance DJ, Other genres are also covered including early 90s hardcore/oldskool, and also a mixture of house/techno.

Since late 1997 Richie has also been offering DJ tuition either privately or on-location (eg youth clubs/schools) running workshops, which has seen a dramatic increase in demand within the past few years thanks to the resurgence of Vinyl. The benefit of DJing with vinyl is that it can be quite therapeutic to those who are on the autistic spectrum, and/or suffering from anxiety. This makes it a fantastic way to learn - and those who know that if you can DJ on vinyl, then you can DJ with anything digitally as you would have already gained the fundemental tacit knowledge.

As a qualified engineer, Richie has also used his technical expertise to keep Technics turntables alive by getting parts back into production and also carrying out servicing/maintenance which has seen an exponential increase in demand as of late (see www.technics-service.co.uk).

Not only has vinyl DJing made a comeback, it is here to stay thanks to the recognition of Turntables as an actual musical instrument.
