Richard Sen / Padded Cell

Richard is the guy behind Padded Cell, Bronx Dogs and the Mixed Blood label. He is notorious for being one of the first Graffiti artists of the 80s UK scene, but now more so for his scores of incredible remixes and a couple of amazing compilations, like the ‘Powercuts’ electro one from a couple of years back. Richard has DJ-ed everywhere over the last two decades, and has recently started working on solo remix projects, released an album on DC Recordings and remixed LCD Soundsystem and Black Devil Disco Club, Cosmo Vitelli, as well as labels like Tirk. Ultimately, Richard has impeccable taste and a ridiculous record collection, via his 10+ year stint behind London’s Record Exchange shop, where all 2nd hand records pass his hands first.
