Ridney

Ridney's first break came in 1997 from local friend James Zabiela. After listening to one of Ridney's early mix tapes, he was asked to play a regular slot at James' night in a local Southampton venue.

Ridney began producing in early 2000. He featured in a handful of bands and production groups before striking his first success - co-writing "Your Love" for Scarpi (in 2004).

Ridney continued to produce a number of singles before getting noticed by the Trophy Twins. He was asked to provide a producer guest mix on their BBC Radio 1 show during October 2006.

Further productions and remixes in 2007/2008 were supported on Pete Tong's Fast Trax show, with Ridney appearing 5 times! This included being voted one of the 4 top Bedroom Bedlam producers at the end of 2007.

In July 2008, Ridney scored an "Essential New Tune" on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show. His collaboration with James Talk on the track "Sunshyne" was also named 2008 "Track of the Year" by Carl Cox in the Top 100 edition of DJ Magazine.

On 17th July 2009 Ridney scored a second "Essential New Tune" with Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. This was for his follow-up collaboration with James Talk - a track inspired by the classic Pet Shop Boys track "West End Girls".
