Ricky Chopra has been collecting music since the early 80s, curating the best of what he hears then sequencing the music to produce soundscapes that span musical genres and the vast expanse of time.

After years of perfecting his turntable skills, he left his bedroom and started a three-decade DJ adventure. It all began in the late 80s when he started playing Hip Hop on a Reggae station called ‘Peoples FM’. It’s fair to say he introduced thousands of listeners to Hip Hop and soon he was in demand, rocking the turntables at underground Blues parties all across North West London.

He was one of the first DJ’s in London dropping House and Techno on a primetime radio show. This catapulted his career, and he became a regular on the Acid House scene, and one of his claims to fame is he played at the first warehouse party in the UK.

Ricky was there just as pioneering UK producers began to fuse House music with Hip Hop Breaks. That’s when he had the idea to sample Reggae bassline and overlay them with Hardcore Hip Hop beats. What started as a gimmick to get noticed in the clubs became a top forty hit on the UK pop charts in 1992 when he released ‘Me Israelites’ a Hardcore mashup of Desmond Dekker 60s Reggae anthem.

After ten years touring around the world with Gatecrasher he left to start his own club night called ‘Hang The DJ’. During this time, he returned to music production, producing Electro House and Electro Clash records under numerous guises.

Recently Ricky has begun to produce vibrant synth-lead electronic Dance music under his own name. His sound is futuristic, but with a bold new take on influences from his past. His sonic signature blends lush synthetic textures with rugged basslines and solid grooves.

Thematically, Ricky is exploiting his musical heritage, drawing on thirty plus years of DJ’ing to extract textures from the past and fuse them with ideas from the present and future.
