Emerging from Chicago’s house music subculture, Rick Garcia’s infectious sounds have taken the world by storm. As a producer, remixer, & DJ, Rick’s ventures are boundless. His studio endeavors reflect not only the classic house vibe, but fill the mind with soulful rhythms and jazzy latin funk. When behind the decks he’s unparalleled, driving crowds into uncontrollable frenzies. His newest ventures include the record label - GrassRoots Recordings. This record company was created with the serious intent to bring back the original flavor of Chicago House music in its raw and truest form.
Rick who has nearly 400 production projects under his belt states... “Musically there has been a void for me for many years. It has seemed nearly impossible to find driving house tracks that still had a deep rooted soulful essence. Therefore, I felt a need to create GrassRoots: filling that void and hopefully reviving the driving force behind House Music”. A veteran behind the decks and in the studio, Rick has topped the charts all over the world, including #1 songs on countless radio stations all over Europe. Original tracks like “My Way”, “Jungle Jazz” and the “Revolution” have propelled Rick into an internationally renown remixer and producer. His newest endeavor “Can You Feel It” is a joint collaboration between himself, Ron Carroll and the man behind the worldwide hit “Lady”, Richard Grey.
Spinning a perfect blend of Latin funk, gritty raw tracks, and soulful energetic vocals, Rick has no problem making dance floors go wild. "Just play the music that you love” - a motto by which he has always lived. “The crowd will feel it if it's true to your heart."
So whether you are a life long fan or if you have just discovered Rick Garcia, one thing undoubtedly holds true - Rick transcends the essence of the typical Producer/DJ. With his role as artist, musician, producer and DJ, he offers himself up mind, body, and soul. "If you love what you do, you must be able to evolve. It's this ability to incorporate all aspects of life into your music that makes it unique and special."
So sit back, turn it up, and strap yourselves in for an incredible adventure.
