#385 Alan Ritchie

Veteran selector and broadcaster Alan Ritchie brings over three decades of authentic dancefloor heritage to the platform. Cutting his teeth during the late-1980s UK vinyl explosion and coming up through the defining 1990s London club scene—making an early debut alongside Mark Broom at the famed Gardening Club—Ritchie has shared bills with circuit titans including Ben Sims, Colin Dale, Inigo Kennedy, and DJ Bone. A pioneering figure in early online broadcasting as the founder of London’s underground outlet Frequency Radio, he later relocated to Southeast Asia, where he established a deep cultural footprint across Vietnam and Cambodia alongside his regular broadcasts for Hanoi Community Radio.
For his exclusive debut on MUSICUNEED, Alan Ritchie delivers a masterclass in pure, timeless Deep House. Steeped in the foundational sounds of Detroit, Chicago, and the UK underground, the session weaves raw groove with rich musicality. Anchored by definitive selections from scene legends such as Delano Smith, Rick Wade, Norm Talley, Robert Owens, and Los Hermanos, alongside key cuts from Vince Watson and Manoo, this mix is an expertly paced, high-fidelity journey curated for seasoned electronic music purists.
