Richard Larsen-
co-producer/writer/keyboardist/guitarist-
A refugee from the eclectic Chicago scene, Richard came to Los Angeles to work as a producer at Quango Records. He also worked with DJ Krust on the "Konkrete Jungle" Compilation on Ultra Records, and did the Tulku remixes released on Triloka. Delphine Simonis of LA's KPFK calls The Mighty One (Richard's Inspiration), "a cross between Mark Farina, Amon Tobin, J.S. Bach and Anouar Brahem, all in one". Trained in the classics, Rachmaninoff and Orbit, Richard Larsen's program is hardly retro.

DJ-A first generation Mexican-American, he has had an obsession with music since his first recollections, thanks to his family's love affair with mariachi. His high school years were blessed with the inception of an electronic music station MARS FM and he was treated to the likes of Swedish Egil, Tony Largo, and others. Another favorite show was 'Illicit Groove' on KXLU radio hosted by DJ Sonic, now Jason Bentley. These shows would prove to be the foundation for his appreciation of the mighty DJ, and a style of music that he came to know as HOUSE music. Since his college years as Music Director of Occidental College’s radio station KOXY, Eddie has played along side Doc Martin, DJ Heather, Lance Desardi, JT Donaldson, Chuck Daniels, The Littlemen (UK), Special Interest (UK), Fries & Bridges (France, US), Marques Wyatt, Andrew Macari, Diz, Jason Hodges, The Rurals, and Slater Hogan/John Larner. He has deejayed in cities such as San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Hawaii and is currently holding two residencies at Los Angeles venues, Circus and King King. His current projects include the HAWT, a refuge for househeads that he has hosted for over a year. Among his DJ events, Eddie has scratched, spinned and sampled as a member of two electronic bands including Elephonic and currently Una. Spinning deep and techy house as well as smoothed out downtempo in the vein of Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz.
