Richie Hawtin playing 'Vol Fulgar'@Exit Festival, Serbia:
Rich Jones is a techno geek. Djing since 1998, producing since 2002, the aim has always been to hypnotise, and encourage people to get lost in the music. Tribal, dense, layered, hypnotic, deep, percussive, melodic, energetic - these are all words fit to describe his signature sound. Currently building a name for himself internationally as a purveyor of an eclectic deep techno style that is uniquely his own, yet draws on what is currently working on the underground dancefloors.
Rich has had support for his tracks from John Selway, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Josh Wink, Paco Osuna, Mark Broom, Gary Beck, Pheek, Mauro Picotto, Mistress Barbara, Dave Turov, Tony Thomas, Kobbe, Dj Misjah, Anthony Pappa, Rob Pearson, Raymundo Rodrgiquez, Jim Rivers, Harvay McKay, Valentino Kanzyani, and many more.
Releases out, and dropping soon, on 8-Sided Dice, Flat Belly, Backwater Community, T-Bahn, Packed Music, Minimal and Melodies Music, Plug Recordings, Transmissions and many more....
