The Ritalin Kidz are a Belfast based Techno collective made up of Djs Greg Marshall and Liam Doherty (aka LeDoc)
The boys met when they both moved to Belfast in Sept 2000, for college/work and were influenced by the range of DJs and styles of music in Belfasts venues at that time.
Greg has long been a name on Belfasts club scene, playing guest slots at The Art College, Auntie Annies and the Front Page and holding a residency in Vicos before moving on to promoting his own Bodyshock night alongside Greg Foster, with guests such as Psycatron, CJ Bolland, Andy Lee, and Axel Karakasis.
Liam on the other hand comes from a more traditional background and is a classically trained pianist. He gained a love of Dance music listening to Happy Hardcore and then Trance getting his first set of decks at 13. His tastes matured when he moved to belfast and fell in love with House, Electro and Techno.
Their brand of Techno is very much influenced by their differing backgrounds, a fusion of Gregs love of chunky european Techno, full of percussion and Liams more synthy background.
Codiene Dreams, the pairs first tune, is a perfect example of this, with its driving beats and even more driving bassline.
