Claudio Cesar Ricci grew up with the synthesizer sounds of the mid 80..s New
Wave generation. Therefore it is not a big surprise, that some years later, he
plays an important role in viennas house scene.
2002 he founded the
event platform MoviMiento, together with his friend and colleague Richard Rohr
(Dj Saliva). The continuous success of the event series DIVINE lead to further
MoviMiento projects in Viennas legendary „Flex“ and the Sunshine Club at
„Passage“. Up to now these cooperations proceed and represent important
milestones along Claudio Riccis way to Austrias Top Dj League.
Due to his
constant presence in the event and dj business, Claudios ways crossed those of
Dj Met d..Phunk. Together they built up the Dj duo „Bilingual Freakz“. The
chilean-iraqi combo already lead to dancing crowds and good vibrations at the
MTV stage at Donauinselfest (Europes biggest open air festival), DRAMA! Club and
Austrias best known house location Volksgarten.
2006 Claudio Ricci
emphasized his skills as resident Dj for the progressive house club NASTY at
Volksgarten, where he played with acts such as Steve Lawler, Mark Knight and
Pablo Ceballos (Chus & Ceballos). Because of his variety he also became one
of the Gardenclub Resident Djs as well as music and event manager at
Volksgartens event agency TEAM:K. In the same year he joined the artist
community Vienna Calling that syndicates the best-known Austrian clubhouse
Djs.
In addition to these national highlights, Claudio Riccis success
also crossed the borders in 2007. Gigs at Space / Ibiza, Monza / Frankfurt,
Felix / Berlin, Creamfields Festival / Czech Republic, Tunisia, Hungary, Spain
or the Megaevent Life Ball are part of his schedule.
In 2008 Claudio
Ricci, Met D’Phunk and Ivan Bucko, launched CLIVA, a new innovative producing
project. The preconditions for a successful collaboration were given right from
the start: Like Claudio Ricci, Met D' Phunk gained prestigious reputation,
playing in clubs all over Europe. Ivan Bucko, on the other hand, completed the
team by adding his musical talent and providing his broad knowledge in music
production theory. Together they already made remixes for Robbie Rivera’s Juicy
Music Label and the Delicious Djanes.
In the same year he founded with
Aleks Gavric the event agency “Schlaflos Events”. The first club series
“Nachtigall” are a huge success with outstanding artists as Timo Maas, SIS,
Tiger Stripes or Jona.
Claudio Riccis spectrum comprises every subgenre
of house music. His sets are dynamic, diversified and across-the-genre. Because
of this flexibility he already played minimal to funky club house with acts such
as The Chemical Brothers, Kenny Dope, Booka Shade, Eric Prydz aka Pryda,
Trentemöller, David Penn, Sebo K, Matthias Tanzmann and many more…
