Clubland Saturday Night Resident DJ's Rick Hype 9PM - 12Mid. (CT) Born in Michigan City, Indiana, Rick has lived about 90% of his life here in the Chicagoland area. Currently living in his new house, where he is building his project studio, Rick has always been into music. Having started out working on car audio systems, he noticed all different kinds of music and started dancing to just about anything he heard. From there he was able to go to dance clubs and was eventually picked to be a regular on a local dance show. He bought his first set of turntables, cd players, a sampler and he was off to the world of club mixing. After only 7 months, he was asked to spin at a Naperville’s Zero Gravity where he spun for about 4 years hopping between that company’s clubs in Naperville, Merrillville, and Rockford. After 4 years of DJ'ing at clubs and running his own DJ service, he made a decision to pursue another level in the music industry. It was the summer of 2000 when he finished his studies in web design & recording/mini studio, where he met his partner in re-mixing Brian White. The two hope to be the next Thunderpuss type music producers. Remixing is one goal that Rick hopes to accomplish some day in the near future. As for the style of music that he plays, well…that is a whole new field. Some people might know Rick for the progressive (techno), others might know him as the disco house DJ, and still others even know him for the hi-energy Euro mixes he did in his early years. Rick likes to consider his style as pure adrenaline music to keep people movin’. His ultimate goal is to have his own dance club where people can hear all kinds of new age dance music. Check him out every weekend on ENERGY’S Clubland Saturday Night or hear him spinning at clubs all over the nation. And if that is still not enough, then you can almost always find him online, on his Website e - m a i l     R i c k
