RichE started Djing in 1995. He was originally known as DJ Shockwave.
From 1998-2004 he promoted a multi genre event called Pitchin Energy, he also played at Ultra Vegas from 98 till 99 before the club had to close.
He has had some guest slots with Dj Twister on style fm pirate radio between 2000 and 2002.
In the early 00's he played the occasional set at a well known club at the time, called Squares in Norwich on a Friday or Satuday night.
He had produced a track called Tubular Dreams in 2002 which was signed by EMI and Mike Oldfield Entertainments, and had a news feature about him in music industry network news and EDP, but was unfortunately stopped in it's tracks, when Virgin Music who owned a third of the rights, refused to sign off as they didn't know how the track would effect the original tune.
He gave up Djing in 2006 due to health issues and after 2 years decided to concentrate on promoting events
After having a four year break from promoting Pitchin Energy, he decided to come back with the well known brand called Oblivion Hardstyle, back in 2008 and it is still going today. Bringing big name DJs in the hardstyle scene from across the UK to make an impact in Norwich, for the first time such as, Cally and Juice with Mc Shocker, Swankie and Kashi, ChuckE, Brian M and Mcbunn, Frisky, Rascle and many more.
Throughout lockdown he ran online shows with the Oblivion Hardstyle, Trance Effect and Ressurection brands with Djs across the UK. With the helping hand of Jessie aka short circuit/ charmed offensive.
After 16 years of health issues that still continue to this day. he decided to buy himself a Denon prime 4 and teach himself along with his sons how to mix again, with the health issues that prevented him from continuing to DJ back in 2006.
For his 40th he graced the decks again for the first time after 16 years and played an early hardstyle set at his new event Vibes.
RichE is predominantly a house, trance, and hard house DJ, but since he has started up again he has dipped his hand into other genres and sub genres.
He has played on a guest slot playing full on Pystrance on Gumbars Stacking radio show on style radio DAB.
He has always liked to give people with talent and upcoming DJs, a chance to play out live and help to get their names out there. He still continues to do so to this day, Not only in the beginning with Oblivion Hardstyle, but also with his other promotions, Ressurection, Trance effect (which he co-promotes with Gumbar) and his latest one Vibes.
He has a great ear for talent, and has helped a few DJs careers over the years, by giving them a chance to show their talent for their first time playing out live and after seeing their impact on the crowd giving them regular slots as Residents for Oblivion Hardstyle playing alongside some of the big names on the line ups at the events. A couple of them you may know, Critical Justice who is now known as Dub Justice And Fuzion.
