Rick's musical journey is a rich tapestry that began in the early 80s when he first immersed himself in the grooves of disco and funk. However, it was his exposure to the booming alternative music scene of the 80s that truly honed his DJing skills and set him on a path towards something greater - House Music. As the genre evolved, so did Rick's love for it. His passion for House grew stronger with time, and he became deeply involved in promotion and DJ gigs within the underground music scene.
Rick Preston's list of performances reads like a who's who of the best events and clubs in the Bay Area. You can find his name on the line-up of renowned gatherings like The Gathering, Stompy, Salted, Groove Kitchen, Boogie Buffet, Cool World, and more. His residencies at esteemed venues such as San Jose's F/X, Cardiff Lounge, The Continental, The Oasis, San Francisco's iconic 1015 Folsom, and The Endup have solidified his status as an integral part of the local music scene.
What sets Rick apart is his distinctive DJ style. His sets are renowned for their deep and funky vibes, taking the crowd on a captivating journey through the realms of soulful vocals, disco classics, tribal rhythms, tech-house beats, mesmerizing acid house, and mind-awakening spoken word. When Rick Preston is at the helm, you're in for an unforgettable musical experience.
As a house music producer, Preston's motto of quality not quantity has stood him in good stead with some superb labels, notably Viva Recordings, Glasgow Underground, and Guesthouse Music. He also has releases on Worship Recordings, AfterHours, Eight-Tracks, Kolour Recordings, Amfibius Recordings, Freeze Records, Big Big Trax, and BCE.
Rick has also done remixes for Nervous Records, Amenti Music, Limestone Recordings, Motion Music, Housetown Records, Coastline Recordings, Blue Iguana, Bananza Recordings, and Mimosa Recordings.
