About Ricardo

all styles, from pop to Hardstyle… drill to edm! I’ve played live shows since I was 17 supporting some of the biggest names in the industry.
DJ
Liverpool
Public liability insurance of £2 million

Having learned to DJ from liverpool legend Les Calvert in Liverpool’s Famous ModeTraining college, I have progressed a healthy career and supported some of the biggest names in the industry, the likes of Biscits, Will Sparks, Whitenoise & many more! Safe to say I know how to read the crowd and bring your guests exactly what they want… With years of experience and knowledge I’m sure I can bring your guests a night they’ll never forget, whilst also showing them some music they didn’t know they needed to hear! Some highlights of my career would be selling out my first headline show in early 2023, for me this was a huge milestone and a glimpse of how I would like the rest of my career to continue. Another would be supporting Israelis own Whitenoise in his UK debut, this was a massive honour and a huge step in the UKs trance & psy trance scene. There are many more highlights but these few stand out to me the most! Please feel free to contact me with any enquires or information needed I am more than happy to help!!

Ricardo has been a resident for us since the start of Gravity, he has always put on boss sets, perfect for the time he’s allocated and never a boring set too. He also has helped us a great deal with branding, marketing & promoting the event, even going to lengths to help Us set up venues before doors open and help with getting other things ready pre event day. Safe to say he’s been very hands on with helping us through our journey and will continue to do so!!

We booked Ricardo for my birthday party, he was boss, played all the songs we’d requested before hand, as well as loads of other classic Ibiza ones & some of the newer house as that’s what we’d asked for!! The whole night was a good vibe and everyone enjoyed

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients generally enjoy how I bring energy into all of my sets, always adding a little bit of a personal touch to the sets; not just playing the same old stuff every time. Clients also love how I tailor sets to fit there event and to suit there wants.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at some of Liverpools Biggest venues, the likes of Hanger34, WaV, meraki & many many more. I have also played some festivals and events in wales, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Birmingham & the Lake District!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I take influence from all areas of music, originally starting with trance and harder styles in my early career, later moving into the edm styles, as well as venturing through the various styles of American and UK rap as well as R&B… safe to say there’s very few styles that haven’t had an effect on how and what I play today!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I have played some large shows, some being, Lakestock festival in reading & Afterparty events bringing Will Sparks to Liverpool… just to make a few

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always do my best to accommodate to clients needs, so if possible I will try to continue with the booking to the best of my ability. I’m rather flexible and try not to book back-to-back shows so this usually isn’t an issue.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes between sets or in any breaks I am able to have music played music without myself being there. Although I don’t offer any preemptive services unless agreed on before hand.

How much time do you need to set up?

It generally takes around 1-1.5 hours to set up before, this includes a sound check too! As soon as everything’s set up we also provide a free playlist to get the guests settled in.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Set lists are usually hand picked and crafted for each event so your input is always wanted, however not necessary. Using a vast knowledge of music throughout the ages as well as the ability to read the crowd to make every set special.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! All equipment is provided within the fees stated.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes!! You can send me over any song you would like playing and we’ll make sure it gets played on the night.
