Claudio Ricci

With cultural roots in Chile, Claudio Cesar Ricci grew up in a strong musical environment. His father was a singer in a South-American folklore band with revolutionary background. Due to the dictatorship, his parents were forced to emigrate to Austria. Ever since, this view on politics and especially music, played a major role in his life. 2002 he founded the event platform MoviMiento, together with his friend and colleague Richard Rohr aka Dj Saliva. The continuous success of the event series DIVINE lead to further gigs in vienna`s best known clubs and fetivals such as: Volksgarten, Flex, Pratersauna, Urban Art Forms, Beatpatrol, Frequency. These cooperations are important milestones along Claudio Ricci’s way to Austria`s top Dj league. In addition to these national highlights, Claudio Ricci`s success also crossed the borders from 2007 till now. Gigs at Space, Privilege, The Zoo Project/Ibiza, Monza/Frankfurt, Felix/Berlin, Creamfields Festival Central Europe, Switzerland, Tunisia, Hungary, Spain or the mega event Life Ball are part of his schedule. In 2012 Claudio joined the austrian label Luv Lite Recordings as artist and A&R. The label owned by viennas legendary producer Sascha Weisz aka Megablast stands for world music influenced, organic and soulful electronic dance music. Claudio Riccis spectrum comprises every subgenre of house music. His sets are dynamic, diverse and across-the-genre. Because of this flexibility he plays deep to tech house and shared the dj-booth with acts such as The Chemical Brothers, John Digweed, Henrik Schwarz, Kenny Dope, Nick Curly, Groove Armada, Steve Lawler, Trentemoeller, Booka Shade and many more. Claudio Ricci`s sound conveys an absolute positive attitude to life without any musical compromises and guarantees a successful club night. “I’m inspired by the mixture of groovy beats, organic sounds and melodies. When everyone is dancing, the party is just perfect” says Claudio Ricci.
