Eddie Richards and the Rise of Tech House
The Roots of Tech House can be traced to the United Kingdom in the early 90s after the explosion of Acid House. Tech House was seen as the direct alternative to acid house, as it did not have the high energy to be played as much at raves that was commonly seen through other genres at the time, and therefore, the subgenre seemingly did not reach its full potential right away.

Eddie soon began experimenting with the genre and helped it gain prominence by DJ'ing with Mr. C at the Paul Stone and Clink Street RIP parties in 1988, then seen as the counterpart to the Shoom events. These sets were the key to introducing the Acid House culture in London, England.

The Clink Street Parties that Eddie and Mr. C threw were what pioneered a road for the Tech House events that soon followed. Eddie became one of 3 residents at the Iconic Wiggle parties in the early 90s, along with the Drop Parties and Heart and Soul/Release events. Tech House shortly thereafter was incubated.

After playing at Clink Street and Heaven in London and The Hacienda in , Richards then went on to headline the legendary Second Summer of Love parties such as Sunrise, Energy and Helter Skelter among many others. and production work led to the release of club classics such as "Acid Man" in 1988, which reached number 23 in the UK singles charts, followed by other popular remixes of , Orbital and .
