Riordan

Raised in the UK in a family where house and UK garage were central, Riordan began DJing in his teens at parties and local venues before turning to production in 2020 during the lockdowns. This phase marks the start of his project under his own name, developed alongside work in music marketing, notably around TikTok usage, which he later leverages to promote his tracks. Riordan gradually cultivates an aesthetic between UK garage, contemporary tech house and 1990s house, characterized by direct rhythms, clean basslines and a taste for efficient club structures. Since the early 2020s he has moved quickly between online releases, DJ sets and first British then international electronic stages. His career has taken him to play in the UK and the United States and to appear on festival bills dedicated to electronic music. Riordan thus embodies a generation of producers who have moved from the short-form formats of social media to a steady presence in clubs and dance events.
