LAZY RICH - レイジー・リッチ
レイジーリッチ
Unlike his name, Lazy Rich is an industrious and untiring studio junkie, a full time touring DJ, and a computer savvy brainiac. In addition to being one of the most respected electronic music producers of the past few years, Rich runs a highly respected indie label Big Fish Recordings (nurturing such talent as Zedd and Porter Robinson early in their career). He is also the founder & programming brains behind Label-Engine.com, a cutting edge label management and music distribution software.
The UK native, residing in Canada, has produced over 140 originals and remixes. Enough for a lifetime for most, but Lazy –as most like to call him– is just getting warmed up.
Rich’s remix and collaboration credits include Lady Gaga, Avicii, Fatboy Slim, Deadmau5, Chris Lake, Steve Aoki, Morgan Page, Zedd, Porter Robinson, John Dahlback, X-Press-2 and the list goes on. The list of supporters for his music is pretty much every top name in the industry.
Rich scored an incredible amount of production success, both as chart toppers and underground hits with #1s on Beatport, Trackitdown, Juno, The Buzz Chart and over 100 tracks charting in the Beatport electro house top 100. His Soundcloud page alone marked one million plays at the end of 2012, less than 2 years since its creation.
His style, ranging from funky and groovy, all the way to intense and at times audaciously epic house music, has put countless big records in his musical arsenal and paved the way for him to create his own signature style in a market. The past year saw Rich attracting remix requests from electronic music as well as pop music icons. Television ads and Hollywood films can now be added to that list.
Rich’s ability to read the crowd and respond with precision sets him apart as a DJs’ ‘DJ’ rather than the onslaught of the cliché digital DJ generation. The future looks incredibly bright for this rapidly rising star, who is anything but Lazy.
