Former London graffiti artist, Sen began DJing in 1989 and is recognised as an elder statesman, an educator and an expert on dance music. Richard is a maverick. Unpredictable, mysterious and engaging, his DJ sets always stand apart from the others. Sen has more music to call upon than most. His sets tell a story and reflect a deep understanding of dance-floor dynamics. His sound draws from 1970s, 80s and 90s influences and places them firmly in the present. Richard's genre-fluid selection seamlessly flows back and forth between: retro and future, dark and light, disco, Italo, deep and wonky house, electro, breakbeat and deep techno.

Sen releases music under his own name and previously under the guises of Bronx Dogs (1997-2003) and Padded Cell (2005-2012). His output includes singles on his own label, Darkness Is Your Candle and for like-minded labels, Klasse Wrecks and Public Release. Sen has also remixed respected artists: Bryan Ferry, John Grant, Unloved (David Holmes' band) and LCD Soundsystem. Padded Cell's music was used in the hugely popular video game - Grand Theft Auto 4 and the U.S. HBO comedy show Eastbound and Down. In 2012, Richard released a compilation, This Ain't Chicago on Strut Records. The promo video was listed in Beatport's top ten house documentaries of all time. Richard’s most recent compilation, Dream The Dream on Ransom Note Recs was voted Best British Compilation of 2023 by DJ Magazine. Sen’s music has also been used by respected clothing brands, Moschino and Sacai to soundtrack their cat-walk shows.

Richard remains passionate yet professional with impeccable taste. He currently has a weekly radio show for Charlie Bones' station, Do!! You!!! (www.doyou.world) which allows him to narrate his history, explore his vast collection and introduce his eclectic taste to a new generation. His debut solo album is due for release in 2024.
