Richard Sen at McChuills

Richard Sen - 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) His sound draws from 1970s, 80s and 90s influences and places them firmly in the present. Richard's genre-fluid selection seamlessly flows back and forth between: retro and future, dark and light, disco, Italo, wonky house, electro, breakbeat and deep techno. Sen has released music under the guises of Bronx Dogs (1997-2003) and Padded Cell (2005-2012). 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. This was a groundbreaking selection of obscure, early UK house music, widely regarded as the first retrospective of its kind.
