When Riggers swapped his out of rego, canary yellow ’87 Sigma station wagon for a set of dodgy second hand turntables and a mixer the seed was planted and the addiction to electronic music was created. It was soon after; Riggers grabbed himself a new mixer, CD decks, speakers and a swag of tunes and began toiling away at his newfound craft.
But Riggers’ passion for electronic music could not be contained at simply Djing and after many years Riggers decided to dabble in the world of production. A fully confessed festival and live events junkie, Riggers spent years, frequenting festivals, bustin out to some of his favourite producers all the while soaking up ideas for live performances, and original tracks while his mates simply soaked up the alcohol….….
Taking influences from producers such as; Wolfgang Gartner, Deadmau5, Krafty Kuts, Bass Kleph, Twocker, Jelo, Fukkk Offf, Stupid Fresh and Plump DJs, Riggers serves up a fresh genre infusion of breaks, electro, and fidget house to form his own unique style. Mixing quirky sounds, squeaks and bleeps, deadly basslines, and solid beats he creates an infectious sound that is guaranteed to make you move.
