Elemental Education

The house scene today in Johannesburg S.A would be somewhat single minded without Richie Caetano. Not many Djs push the line in different sounds quit like him. Always well turned out and being humble yet energetically pumped up towards his crowds. Richie is the type of Dj that thrives to pull of a night to remember. The Underground sound namely Tech, Progressive, Minimal house sounds and people who appreciate that sort of non-commercial vibe is exactly what Richie strives to push forward and promote as well as educate where ever he plays. Following a 13-year sprayer career as a bad boy perfectionist in the hard house scene, Richie was gripped by the pumpin’ house wave and has ridden it to the max ever since. Along the way winning 2 Numark Dj battles back to back up against a total of 120 competing djs.

His style is very technical with sample scratching mixed with a dash of thumping Minimal Tech House dominating his preferred sets, sending the crowd into an intoxicating frenzy of progressive elemental sounds. Recently Richie joined forces with other djs/producers who share this passion for exclusive dance music under the brand name KOUNTER KULTURE. Which represents all that is NOT commercial in any way shape or form. Kounter Kulture events take place every 3 months with monthly mixes and podcasts available from the Kounter Kulture FB page.

Richie Caetano’s influences come in the form of Carl Cox, John Digweed, Sasha, Satoshi Tomie, Sander Kleinenburg, Laurent Garnier, Chemical Brothers and many more…………Richie Caetano does not follow the general music trends, yet makes up his own and is a future force to be reckoned within the house industry and is here to stay!
