There’s way to much to put into a Mr.C biography so we’ll keep it short!

Richard West aka Mr.C was born in London & is a keen Chelsea fan.
He started MCing around the London clubs at 16 (1982) & soon earned a reputation as a fast talking vivacious rapper working with LWR radio’s Ron Tom, Jasper the Vinyl Junkie & Jazzy M. He also MC’d for Dave Durrell & the Boiler house crew at Raw in Tottenham Court Rd.

In 1986 Mr.C hooked up with Colin Faver & Evil Eddie Richards & became resident rapper at Camden Palace going on to MC for Colin Faver on the then illegal Kiss FM & going into the studio to record with Eddie Richards as Myster-E in 1987. This inspired Mr.C to become a DJ to learn more about his beloved House & Techno music so in late ‘87 Richard took to the decks.

Mr.C has organised, promoted & been resident dj at: Fantasy (‘88), Base (Dungeons ‘89) Release (91), Harmony (92), Drop (93), Cyclone (94), Vapourspace (94 & 95), Flavour (The End 95 & 96), Subterrain (The End (95 - 2002) & Superfreq (The End/World-wide 2002 - Present).
Mr.C has also been resident at R.I.P. (Clink St ‘88), Cooz (Turnpike Lane ‘89), Mangled (Braintree Barn ‘89 & ‘90), White Sugar (Bognor Regis ‘91 & ‘92), Abracadabra (London ‘92), Interdance (Sterns, Worthing ‘’91 - ‘93), Bewitched (London ‘93). All of this was until Mr.C opened The End in December 1995 with partner Layo.

Mr.C is founder & owner of Plink Plonk records & cofounder of End Rec. & currently records under the names: Mr.C, Sycophant Slag's (With Francis Harris of Matter://form NYC), Mr.C & 16B & Killer Loop (With End partner Layo) & has also recorded under the names Myster-E, Nu Jacks, Bass Bureau, The Shamen, Mantrac, Somnambulist & Animus Amor. He’s currently recording on Sexonwax, End rec. & his new imprint Superfreq records which specialises in Electronic House & Acid House.

Mr.C also runs & promotes Superfreq events which also specialises in his musical style of Electro House & Acid House & happens on the 2nd Saturday of every month at The End where it’s been running for 2 years after replacing the seminal tech house night Subterrain. Superfreq has accomplished 2 successful seasons at Underground, Ibiza & has just completed it’s 2nd tour of South America as well as doing regular events with Made Events in NYC & 1 off shows around Europe including Italy, Holland, Belgium, Lithuania, Latvia & Russia to name but a few places.
