Riccardo Straccia, the son of an Italian father and a Belgian mother, grew up in a multicultural small town in Belgium. It's here that he found his love for different genres.

He started as a bass player for a hardcore Punk band at the age of 14, whilst learning Jazz at his local music school.

But shortly after, he discovered electronic music and became fond of producing and dj'ing.

Though now based in Berlin, his sound is very much a product of his roots - happy, hip-breaking beats with big melodies and euphoric atmospheres alongside plenty of energy.
