It’s all too easy to endlessly list Richard Dinsdale’s accomplishments. It’s all too easy to wax lyrical about his Ministry Of Sound residency, his genre bending productions or his rapid rise to the top of house music’s well spread table. It’s even easier to tell you how Fatboy Slim rates Richard’s tunes as his finest weekend weapons, and how his first ever production was a remix for a blockbusting Hollywood movie. But where’s the fun in that?
With razor sharp studio skills, Richard’s productions – whether you’re talking the body-slamming electro-jack anthem ‘Crunch’ or his sonorous slice of sonic seduction ‘Your Mind’ – all have one thing one thing in common; their attention to detail. If Richard wants it to rumble, he’ll spend as long as it takes to strike 10 on the Richter scale. If he wants the dancefloor to dissolve beneath your feet, he’ll work that euphoric rush to perfection.
From filthy funk to energising electro via rolling ravenous techno and good old fashioned house music, on labels such as Toolroom, Nervous, Kinky Vinyl, Spin Out and Sunday Best, Richard’s already exposed a widescreen remit. But the best is yet to come. Call it an exciting unpredictability if you want, but be sure to bank on one thing and one thing only; his eagle ear for consistent sonic perfection in both the studio and the club.
