An underground, nostalgic chicago house artist.
'Sporadic, wild and free he has never been one to be tamed, placed in a box and told how to play. From his youthful days spent painting the mean streets of London through to his acid laden take on old school club music he has amassed a reputation as one of the best in Britain' (Ransom Note 2018). Sen has released music under his own name and previously under the guises of Bronx Dogs (1997-2003) and Padded Cell (2005-2012). His output includes singles on his own label, Darkness Is Your Candle and for like-minded labels, Klasse Wrecks and Public Release. Sen has also remixed respected artists: Bryan Ferry, John Grant, Unloved (David Holmes' band) and LCD Soundsystem. Padded Cell's music was used in the hugely popular video game - Grand Theft Auto 4 and the U.S. HBO comedy show Eastbound and Down. In 2012, Richard released a compilation, This Ain't Chicago on Strut Records. The promo video was listed in Beatport's top ten house documentaries of all time. Sen’s music has also been used by respected clothing brands, Moschino and Sacai to soundtrack their cat-walk shows. Richard currently has a weekly radio show for Charlie Bones' station, Do!! You!!! (www.doyou.world) which allows him to narrate his history, explore his vast collection and introduce his eclectic taste to a new generation. He currently has an album and another compilation of early UK dance music, Dream The Dream (on the Ransom Note label), both due for release in 2023.
Richard Sen plays an eclectic mix of Chicago house, UK techno, and breakbeat infused with vintage disco and acid house influences.
He emerged as one of London's original graffiti writers before becoming a prominent DJ, compiler, and producer associated with labels like Ransom Note and Klasse Wrecks.
