How did you get started and what can people expect out of a Ricky Simpson DJ set?
I got started a couple of years after going to the teen clubs in Fort Worth and Dallas. I believe I was 17 probably when I fulling committed and bought gear and records to play. My sets can vary depending on the situation and the people that invite me to play but I have a deep connection and passion for synth music from all eras that started with synth pop 80s and industrial EBM that evolved from those early teen years into other types of dance music like techno, rave, electro and house. I also like non electronic music as well like post punk, punk, goth rock to name a few.
Influences?
My big influences are Depeche Mode, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Drexciya, U.R., Larry Heard, Kraftwerk, Cybotron and many more.
What are you listening to right now?
I've been listening to alot of italo disco classics and cold wave music lately.
