RICKY FORCE / / (Dublin, IRL)

(Pressin' Hard Records, Ruff Revival, Criminal, 36 Hertz, Voodoo, Pinecone Moonshine, Dsci4, Audio Buffet, Absys, Exegene, Space 2 Pace)
Ricky Force's story began all the way back in 1999 when he landed a guest slot on legendary Dublin pirate station POWER FM alongside Don Rosco of the Bassbin crew. It didn't take very long before he was playing out regularly around Dublin city, landing gigs with the likes of the Gappy Foundation, Studio B, Bassbin's legendary "Refuge" night in Switch and becoming a well known face in the Irish Drum and Bass scene.
In 2002 he was offered a show on Raidio Na Life 106.4FM, an Irish Language FM and Internet station broadcasting across the greater Dublin area; he used the opportunity to showcase a wide range of Drum and Bass styles, from blissed-out atmospheric rollers to darker old school tearouts and all points between, very swiftly gaining a reputation for consistently tight and creative mixing especially from guest DJs who he invited along and who then had to come face to face with the setup he was forced to work with week in week out!

A residency at Bassbin's "Refuge" night soon followed, playing in rotation with the cream of the crop of Dublin Drum and Bass heads, including Rohan & Naphta, Don Rosco, Polska, Elmo, Beta 2 and Zero Tolerance.
With the demise of Bassbin some years later sounding a bit of a death knell for Dublin Drum and Bass in the capital Ricky, together with partners in crime Barry Delta and Safetyboy decided to test the waters with their own night, initially called "The Beat Suite" their game was better than their name, thankfully, and they went on to be a valuable platform for local DJ's as well as flying in the likes of DJ Trax (Moving Shadow, Outsider), John Doe (Counterintelligence) and Wilsh (Inperspective). One (merciful) change of a name (to REACH) and one move to a bigger venue later found the fledgling crew at the head of a 12-strong collective of Drum and Bass and Dubstep heads, running one of Dublin's most respected nights, as well as regularly hosting stages at festivals all around Ireland.

Ricky has played in clubs in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Belfast, London, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, The Hague and New York, alongside DJ's as varied as DJ Trax, Wilshy, Code, Martyn, Randall, A-Sides, Amit, Outrage, Modular, DJ Lee, Beta 2, Nookie, Zero Tolerance, Flight, Rohan, Breakage, Polska, Randall, Equinox, Remarc, Martsman, Dillinja, Fabio and Double O.
Ricky started producing in 2005, and by the next year already had the four-track "Aerial ep" signed to renowned net label Exegene. He never looked back and he's been busily tucked away in the lab ever since, twiddling knobs, chopping and splicing samples to his heart's content, trying to hone and perfect his sound. In February 2009 he set up a digital label "Space 2 Pace" to cater for his growing interest in the slower end of the Jungle spectrum, releasing full on 140BPM Jungle Techno and slow Drum and Bass music. The maiden release was a two track affair, the "First Bite" ep featuring tunes from Ricky Force and Gremino. This was followed by another two-tracker, the "Troopers" ep featuring Fushara. All releases are exclusively available onhttp://dto4music.co.uk/

Late 2009, Ricky was drafted to remix Dj Trax (Moving Shadow) on Trax's own label "Audio Buffet" with a deep roller by the name of "Inner Voice". Featured on the "Thoughts in Widescreen remix album" All tracks of which are available for download on http://junodownload.com/
2010 saw Ricky's first two 12" releases on Irish label "Ruff Revival"http://soundcloud.com/ruffrevival the flip to the first being a crafty remix penned by Ramadanman.
The second saw Ricky's new partner in crime, London based turntable wiz kid "J-Rolla" Together as "RickJames"
In tre past two years Ricky has been very busy, launching his new label "Pressin' Hard Records" with two sellout presses to date, as well as releasing on DJ Trace's DSCI4 records, Lighterman's Criminal Records and DJ Vapour's 36 Hertz

Could face stiff competition from Galway Gay Pride this year. It's taking over Dominick Street on the same night. Bierhaus, Blue Note, Roisin Dubh etc all hosting something or other for Pride.

Outdoor street party outside Bierhaus as well.

djwelfare

Aye, clashing with pride isnt ideal, but hey, hard not to clash with summit during the summer..im sure both events will do great..

re the street parties, i personally dont consider extending bars selling space a genuine street party, more of a licensed pub street takeover.

djwelfare

wOnk!
