BBC Radio 1 “Future Fire Artist 2021”
The Belfast-based selector, DJ and producer who lives and breathes the classic Acid House, Rave and Italo House of his home turf and is one of the most significant up-and-coming talents in the Ireland’s House & Techno scene. Sasha, Pete Tong, Skream, danny Howard, Global Underground & Edu Imbernon have all recognised his talents early on and have signed him to their labels.
Just as comfortable connecting with crowds at large-scale raves, festivals and intimate clubs, Blacker takes listeners through every unpredictable twist and turn a set can take as he is a versatile artist who floats through the realms of this electronic underworld we call house & techno, and the emotionally-charged feeling he creates along the way with his music.
He has fine ability to fuse together techno, rave, italo disco and melodic house undertones in his DJ sets and productions.
No signs of slowing down anytime soon, Richie is a skyrocketing talent to keep an eye on.
