CREW - DJ RICH

Richard Askham a.k.a Rich has been DJing since 1997. Shortly after this he began residencies at club hot spots such as ESP and Nexus as well as Fly in Braamfontein. He was resident DJ at Stardust in Jhb.

Rich has played at top underground events, namely D-Rail 1, 2, 3 & 4, Shut Up and Dance 1, 2, 3, 4, Freelove 2 & 3 and the Rustlers Easter Festival 98, 99, 2000. In addition to this he has played at the established events including: Benson & Hedges Trilogy (Armand Van Helden), Sheer Dance's Marco V & Benjamin, Renaissance - Parks & Wilson in September, Pride Rave 2000, and most recently was the supporting act for the Lucky Strike - Cypress Hill party.

Rich is a versatile DJ who has entertained people with music ranging from disco to hard trance. However, the last 12 months has seen progressive house and trance as the musical style that he enjoys the most. In 2001 he opened his own record shop, Vinyl Addiction, where he has been concentrating most of his energy.

It is an event such as D-Rail which gives Rich the opportunity to put something back into the dance scene, with a crowd-pumping set of kickass progressive house and trance.
