After two years residency at cult Newcastle night Jaunt>, which Richard also promotes alongside 6 other friends, it’s fair to say his teeth have been finely cut in the fast moving and competitive clubbing world of the North East. Now, having also launched Jaunt> in London with great success and following 2 full seasons hosting the back room at Ibiza’s famous Savannah bar, it’s time to progress his solo career in equal measure.

Richard first became interested in the electronic scene in his teenage years, starting up Jaunt> after becoming disheartened with the lack of progressive and forward thinking nights in his area. With a musical taste ranging from the rolling sounds of deep house and techno to disco and straight up house, it’s fair to say his eclectic take on sound is apparent in his energetic and crowd pleasing sets. Ever since seeing the legendary Matthew Dear smash DC10’s dance floor back in 2007, Richard has been seeking out the more educated sounds of the underground scene and developing his own talents tenfold.

Through Jaunt> he has already held the DJ booth fort alongside the likes of Giles Smith, Dyed Soundorom, Miss Fitz and Dorian Paic, adding ever more to his breadth of musical knowledge and untold passion for the DJ scene. And these stellar gigs have already led to separate bookings everywhere from Leeds to London for longstanding nights including Back to Basics, and via world-class venues such as Privilege.

Now, with Jaunt> moving ever closer to a strong London presence due to its new monthly residency at one of the East’s coolest venues, as well as their recent invite to host the highly popular Red Box for We Love at Ibiza’s mammoth nightclub Space, things are only looking brighter for the dynamic music lover. Unrivalled experience and success at such a young age can only be admired, and as Richard’s individual music career progresses it’s likely you’ll be hearing a lot more from himself and the now unstoppable Jaunt> movement.
