ORIGINALLY FROM FLORIDA, DJ - PRODUCER - REMIXER 'RICHARD F' BEGAN HIS JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF HOUSE MUSIC AT THE EARLY AGE OF 13. AFTER SPINNING IN CLUBS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, IT WAS TIME TO EXPAND. SO YOUNG RICHARD HEADED WEST UNTIL HE REACHED WHAT WOULD BE HIS HOME FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS --- L.A., CA. IT WAS LOS ANGELES AND ALL THAT SURROUNDS IT TO MAKE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE PERFECT BACKGROUND FOR RICHARD F. TO DEVELOP HIS RELENTLESS SESSIONS, DRIPPING WAX ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND BEYOND. HE BEGAN AS THE MIX-SHOW COORDINATOR ASSISTANT AT KGGI 99.1 FM, WHICH QUICKLY TURNED INTO A REGULAR MIX-SHOW SPOT. MOVING ONWARD AND UPWARD HE LANDED THE PRIME MIX-SHOW SLOT OF FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS AT 93.5 FM. HE SPENT THE EARLY 90'S EXPERIMENTING WITH THE TECHNO THING, THEN THE BREAK-BEAT THING, GROWING INTO HARDER, MORE PROGRESSIVE SETS BUT IN THE END RICHARD ALWAYS STAYED TRUE TO HOUSE. BACK TO THE HEART OF HOUSE BROUGHT HIM BACK INTO THE HEART OF THE LA SCENE WHERE RICHARD F WAS A FEATURED GUEST DJ ON 103.1 GROOVE RADIO AND POWER 106'S INFAMOUS MIX-SHOW 'POWERTOOLS'. AS A RESPECTED DJ WITH A LOYAL FOLLOWING, RICHARD F SOON FOUND HIMSELF INSTRUMENTAL TO THE GROWING CLUB SCENE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. AT THIS POINT, IT SEEMED NATURAL FOR RICHARD F TO EVOLVE INTO PRODUCING AND REMIXING. CROSSING OVER WAS DONE WITH EASE FOR RICHARD F AS HE INSTANTLY FOUND HIS TRUE PASSION AND TALENT IN PRODUCING. HAVING THE ABILITY TO REDEFINE HIS STYLE HAS EARNED HIM THE REPUTATION OF AN INNOVATIVE CREATOR. RICHARD F'S FIRST 12" IMPRINT OF "HIGH OCTANE" ON UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION CAME IN MARCH 1996. SOON, HE HAD A FULL DISCOGRAPHY OF REMIXES LIKE "RAISE THE ALARM" BY THE SHARP BOYS ON AZULI RECORDS, "LARGER THAN LIFE" BY THE BACKSTREET BOYS ON JIVE UK, AND "WHAT YOU NEED" BY POWERHOUSE FEATURING DUANE HARDEN TO NAME A FEW. HIS ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS INCLUDE PHUNKIE SOULS "THA MUSIC" AND "FEEL ALRIGHT BABE" ON STRICTLY RHYTHM. PLUS, "GOOD LOVE". "THE BLUE DICE PROJECT" AND "WHATCHA GOT TO SAY/FEELS SO STRONG" ON SUBLIMINAL. RECENT REMIX PROJECTS TO RICHARD'S NAME ARE GEORGIE PORGIE'S "LIFE", BEATCHUGGERS' "HOW MANY TIMES" AND MARVA KING'S "WANT ME" - ALL OF WHICH ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE HUGE BUZZ THAT IS BUILDING AROUND THE RICHARD F SOUND. ORIGINAL PRODUCTION RICHARD HAS CRAFTED RECENTLY IS "THE WAY" ON SUBLIMINAL , AND, STEPPING UP A NOTCH WITH HIS FIRST VOCAL PRODUCTION ON SUBLIMINAL HE RECORDED UNDER THE MONIKER RPM, "IT'S IN THE NIGHLIFE" FEATURING PAULETTE. HIGHLIGHTING HIS DIVERSE RANGE, RICHARD IS ALSO CURRENTLY WORKING ON A DARKER RELEASE FOR SONDOS. OUTSIDE OF HIS PRODUCTION WORK, RICHARD F IS DJING EXTENSIVELY BOTH IN THE US AND EUROPE.
