 Jamie Richards 

 Hed Kandi DJ 

Biography:Jamie’s musical preference of soulful, funky house was originally influenced by the sounds coming from the big house producers in America, particularly New York and Chicago. The likes of Masters at Work, Jazz and Groove, Tony Humphries and Florida based Brian Tappert.

By the mid '90s Jamie had a number of residencies in London and was promoting his own club nights. Also spending more time in the studio producing his own tracks, one of which featured on a Stereo Sushi album and entered the DJ mag hype chart at number one. The Hed Kandi brand was starting to grow and after playing at the Back to Love parties in those early days, on Christmas night with John Jones and Andy Norman in a small night club in Ealing, Jamie’s connection with Hed Kandi had begun. It wasn’t until a few years later that he would feature as a regular Hed Kandi resident.

During his time with Kandi Jamie has travelled the world representing the famous brand from; Australia, Dubai, the Philippines, America, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ibiza and many other cities across Europe. “I have to say I really am having the time of my life djing right now, being able to see the world and to work with such a close and professional team at Hed Kandi is something I will never take for granted”. It still amazes me now that the identity of this brand can be recognised so far from home and long may that continue” adds Jamie.
