DESTRUCTO WORKS HARD, PLAYS HARDER: DJ MAG USA FEATURE

That sentiment sums up Richards’ approach to anything he’s ever done. Music is in his DNA with his father, to this day, being in urban radio promotion. The best picture of Richards—ever—is of him as a young boy with Michael Jackson. When he was a student at Cal State Northridge by day and a raver by night in the early ‘90s, he was (and continues to be) a disciple of one of Los Angeles’ original underground DJs, Mr. Kool-Aid. In order to continue the party that Mr. Kool-Aid started, Richards and his cronies started Sermon, an afterhours that kicked off at the 6am hour. He soon quit college motivated by the success of this venture so close to his heart. He moved the party to the witching hour, calling it Midnight Mass. It grew to the massive, Holy Water Adventure, which just by coincidence matches up with Holy Ship. -- DJ Mag
