About
Having recently come off the back of a Brazilian tour of beat laden sounds, London/LA up coming DJ Producer Richie Silver is currently in the process of finishing off his debut EP.
Richie Silver’s musical journey started inadvertently through a mish mash set of old clapped out drums, zender cymbals, brit pop and odd rave tapes of the 1994 era. Since then Richie has gone onto become a household name for London VIP parties and exclusive one off shows across the globe. International coverage beckoned back in 2001 when Richie was flown out to Ayia Napa to play for iconic events such as Garage Nation and Twice as Nice with a residency shortly following with Miss Moneypennys. In the midst of this pirate radio beckoned pulling out a two year weekly residency with 'Silk City', midlands biggest pirate station at the time.
By 2009 Richie became a household name in London central playing mashup sounds at his place of residence in Camden whilst dropping the more upfront sets at exclusive celebrity hangouts gaining him a DJ cameo TV appearance on BBC's Wags to Riches presented by Annie Mac. His performances have extended to parties at Amika, Maya, Funky Buddha, Dolce, Studio Valbonne, Cavendish No.5 and Twenty Four supporting a roster of international acts.
Most recently Richie has worked digital at Sony/RCA supporting a host of international priorities Beyonce, Pitbull, Chris Brown, Hurts and Oh land. He has now been drafted in to head up digital for Swedish House Mafia. The recent Diplo Horsey remix collaboration was featured on Mixmag, YoYo, Beatsmedia and Ilikemusic blogs. The debut EP is set for release later this year!
