As one half of local dubstep warriors Biscope, producer and performer for Spoek Mathambo & Mshini Wam, and all-round eclectic mad-cap music machine, Richard the Third walks the musical tightrope like a true circus freak.

Being a central agent in South Africa’s electronic music scene, Richard the Third is a regular DJ at the country's biggest left-of-centre music clubs such as The Assembly, Fiction, The Woods and Alexander Theatre. His sets are a roller-coaster ride of the best of modern bass music: grinding electro, rinsing dubstep and everything in between. Production-wise he has remixed everyone from 340ml to Sibot, puts out his own music on local labels such as African Dope and On A Break Records, and has produced the bulk of the music for 2010's Spoek Mathambo & Mshini Wam album released on internationally-acclaimed label BBE.

In his spare time he stays up till four in the morning, practicing staying up till four in the morning rinsing the party out just for you.
