True music lover and committed record collector Rikki Humphrey creates sets that showcase a devotion to the craft of DJing. After an early obsession with Jungle and always influenced by a long-lasting love for UK garage and US house, Rikki’s taste has solid routes in all-things jazz, ambient, afro, boogie and disco, whilst also blurring the boundaries between breaks, future jazz, electro and US techno. Rikki has held residencies with parties such as Nest and Studio 89 as well as guesting on radio stations Red Light Radio, Noods and LYL. He has firmly established himself through word of mouth and his warm up sets as a stylistically diverse DJ, unrestricted by the boundaries of genre. He has shared turntables with the likes of Volcov, Jane Fitz, Bell Towers, Andy Hart, Jan Schulte, Mark Grusane, MCDE, The Pilotwings, Evan Baggs, Hunee, DJ Bone, Floating Points, Maurice Fulton, Antal, Jeremy Undeground and Orpheu The Wizard, to name but a few. Recent years have included many memorable parties: trips throughout Europe, including musical institutions Warehouse Project, MS Hoppetosse, Brilliant Corners and Spiritland; and travels to Vietnam (Savage) and South America (Billares Londres and Baum). These, gigs, along with his mixes, have earned him plaudits from the likes of Resident Advisor, Stamp The Wax and Ransom Note. Rikki is currently a resident of DIY party TEAK, NTS (Manchester) and Rinse France. https://soundcloud.com/slickyrik https://www.mixcloud.com/rikkihumphrey/
