   About rocket.one
rocket.one is the deejaying persona of drummer/percussionist/producer Todd the Rocket Richard. He is a partner in the wepushbuttons crew and a member of the Milled Pavement/brick.city.media Label Family. Many will recognize rocket.one as the drummer and percussionist for bands such as Miss Fairchild, slowing room, Andy Happel, and the Sumner McKane Group.

rocket.one is a fan of pop music of the decades, ranging from pazz and jop to hip hop. His sets often are a convergence of soul jazz, Motown, hip hop roots, and latin jazz sounds. He has a special (and not-so-secret) love for space age bachelor pad, martini mood, mod pop, nujazz, broken- and bossa- beats.

The beginning of rocket.one'??s DJ career was an obvious step in a good direction. An avid collector of vinyl, deejaying was a way to make use of his constantly growing music collection. The challenge of making the breezy pop sounds of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 current and relevant to clubgoing crowds was his first mission, and he'??s not looked back since.

rocket.one and his wepushbuttons crewmates are resident DJs at the wepushbuttons Monthly at the White Heart in Portland, ME. They are also the official DJs for the 2008 Season of the Maine Roller Derby ??Port Authorities? team, and will be playing at all of the teams'?? bouts and events.

He has also played feature sets at: The Enormous Room (Cambridge, MA,) The Empire Dine and Dance (Portland, ME,) una Wine Bar (Portland, ME,) the Decadence Series (Nantucket, MA) and the Wine Bar (Chapel Hill, NC.)

He has been DJ of choice for the Maine College of Art for their Commencement Receptions and Art Auctions, as well as the first call DJ for parties thrown by luxury brands such as Triple 8 Vodka, Tanqueray, Crown Royal, Coppola Vineyards, Van Gogh Vodka, Lindt Chocolate, Hangar One Vodka, and several others.
