Thriller by Richie Phoe

Just in time for Halloween, Wah Wah 45s unleash a splendidly spooky seven incher from Brighton’s very own Lee “Scratch” Perry, the one and only Richie Phoe. His take on the Jacko classic is a brutally bass worrying dance floor dub delight, complete with sinister sound effects and cackles galore! On the flip, Richie gives Leon Haywood’s much sampled classic, “I Want’a Do Something Freaky To You” the deathly dub treatment too – look out for those pertifying piano licks!

Hailing from Brighton, UK, Richie Phoe's trademark reggae productions have garnered attention from tastemakers and DJs alike. In addition to accolades from Rob Da Banks' Sunday Best Recordings, Richie was personally commissioned by Rob to remix Max Sedgley's Celebrity. A Jon Kennedy remix for Grand Central soon followed, and yet more support would come as Sinful was included in the esteemed Rob Da Bank and Chris Coco “Listen Again” compilation.

In 2008 Richie released the critically lauded “Eye on the Prize EP”, featuring UK Reggae legend Tippa Irie, which gained BBC radio play from Huw Stephens, Mark Lammar, Rob Da Bank and an interview on Steve Lamacq's Radio 2 show..

Richie's first forays into the world of music production began on his Amiga 500, back in the early '90s; by 1999 he'd progressed to an MPC 2000 and began making his own beats, inspired by the likes of De La Soul and D.I.T.C. As his style progressed he started collecting reggae vinyl and began DJing at reggae and hip-hop nights weekly in clubs and bars in Portsmouth. Bringing deep and positive vibes to the dance floor, and more recently working with Wah Wah 45s’ very own Resonators, Richie has earned the aforementioned title of “Brighton's Lee Scratch Perry”.
