I make beats every day... deep, tribal, underground house ... is my thing
Riki Inocente House Music / Producer / Remixer / DJ
Riki's journey has not been an easy one. Like many, hustlin becomes part of every day life.
"You don't get anywhere if you don't get out there. I love music and being part of this amazing slice of life. It's a good feeling to see people enjoying the music that I've created"
DJ Sneak, Hector Moralez and DJ Todd Terry have all remixed Riki's tracks.
Riki has played at some of the most prestigious clubs around the world. Pacha Ibiza, Fabric, Phonox and Egg Club have all enjoyed the pleasure of Inocente Sounds - from London to Ibiza and then on to Amsterdam as one of the resident DJ's I'm a House Gangster parties. Riki's music has aired around the world.
From yard to the studio, raw dedication and passion for house music Riki drew the attention from classy French label Robsoul which led to his track 'Soultrain' being signed. On the back of this 2011 saw Riki bill up alongside Hector Moralez, Chris Simmonds and Jordan Peak for a WE THE BRAND Showcase event held in Shoreditch, London.
In 2012 Riki linked with house music legend DJ Sneak who then released 'We Iz Underground' which was a record produced by Riki and Darren Roach, under the alias of Bluntz and Roachez. It was then released on Sneaks flagship label Magnetic with remixes from Hector Moralez and label boss DJ Sneak.
Later that year they were asked to do a remix of one of Sneaks original cuts 'Bodytalkin', a project, which he released on Sneak Classics.
In 2013, Riki put together a Gangstercast for Sneak, a Podcast series with a concept for true underground house music lovers, which confirmed his credentials as he got the call to play along side Sneak, D'Julz, Hector Moralez, Chris Carrier and Jordan Peak at the I'M A HOUSE GANGSTER parties.
Casting an eye on 2014, Riki Inocente embarks on the next phase of his journey, already we have seen him drop a podcast for L*ghtworks UK, Hawt Music (LA), and has played for Freak Freely Parties (AMW).
His latest releases see him dropping cuts for, Italian Label, Beagle Traxx, Gangstarz label (Bulgaria), Odour Recordings and has done remixes for Doin Work Records, Dirty by Design Recordings, Treasured Grooves and King Street Sounds.
Further releases and collaborations with fellow music producers from Spain, Mexico, the U.S.A and more!

I'm A House Gangster releases new Gangstercast 09 RIKI INOCENTE 24 -April-
2013
Riki Inocente joins fellow House Gangsters Ramon Tapia, Mark Farina, Anhanguera, Tripmastaz, DJ Sneak, Phil Weeks, Acid Mondays, Hector Moralez and Massimo Dacosta, with his Gangstercast brought to you by the new I'm A House Gangster label...
"Riki's Gangstercast saw him selecting tracks that best represent his own sound: "Deep, tribal, underground house with heavy b'lines and solid drums; Music that makes you move, and messes with your mind." Speaking of the House Gangster movement he says: "We are a family, I've met HG fam all over the world and the link between all of them is their love for good house music. It doesn't matter if you make, play, or just listen to it, too many people have devoted there lives to this scene through the years to let men in suits and their puppets take the name of our culture and try and cross brand it with a commercial euro pop sound. I ain't goin' to roll like that. And that's why I do what I do, and why House Gangsters all over the world are doin' it to." Amen to that!"
