Richard Blacker, aka Eegor, is one of Australia's longest-standing and most respected progressive DJs.
Richie has been into music since he was 6 years old. As a classically trained musician playing the likes of the violin, viola, cello, guitar and bass guitar, he had a natural progression into DJing and electronic music production.
Heavily influenced by 6 years of living-experience in the rapidly evolving psychedelic trance scene of Tokyo, this passion has grown into a diverse, deep-funk-tribal sound that has been recognised nationally and internationally for the past 13 years.
He regularly finds his way onto the bill of Australia's biggest festivals and events, such as Rainbow Serpent Festival, Earthdance, Tribeadelic NYE gatherings, Erisian Fields and Akasha Festival, rocking the dancefloors and sinking copious amounts of beer in the process.
He has also taken his sound international, rocking places such as Kophangan in Thailand, Delhi and Dharamsala in India and Tokyo and Okinawa in Japan.
In the past few years Richie has turned his focus to production, with his first track Prime Groover featuring on Open Records first compilation Slow-Release.
He then followed this strongly with a collaboration with D-Sens called Curtis Landing, a mainroom progressive bomb that was a huge hit on global dancefloors and is currently being remixed by the likes of 2Kings in Motion and Shades of Grey.
Currently Richie resides deep in the wilderness of Far North Queensland, perfecting his production skills and tearing around the bush on a 4-wheeler motorbike.
As well as making his appearance at the many outdoor parties and events on the Cairns party calender, he is also a resident at Open Records' club night at Cadence Lounge & Bar (formly Soho).
Richie's unique sound and long-standing dedication to progressive music make him a vital part of the Open Records team, make sure to keep watching for future developments from the Eegor studios!
