Rich moved to Vancouver in 2004 and got straight to work building up his profile as one of the city's top electro-house DJs. Through his regular bookings in the Vancouver club and rave scene, plus the distribution of his popular downloadable mixes Rich has gained a considerable local and even international following, with performances at the Miami 2008 Winter Music Conference and a residency at Hollywood Fridays at the infamous Lotus Sound Lounge.

In 2007 Rich turned his head to production, and saw immediate success with remixes for Dave Armstrong, Jason Herd and Jon Fitz on Lowered Recordings. Rich has now joined forces with Amaan Hirshee, Jeff Daniels and Oliver Nickels to start Stereo Soul Recordings, a new house label that is set to make a major assault on the electronic music charts with releases by Sandy Vee and Hatiras.
