A rising DJ and producer from the South Coast of the UK, known for his unique blend of House, Tech House, Garage, and Breakbeat music. Emerging during lockdown, he has quickly gained attention for his innovative approach to house music.
Growing up surrounded by dance music, Riordan was introduced to House and UK Garage from an early age, shaping his diverse musical influences.
His UK roots have provided him with exposure to Garage, Minimal/Deep Tech, and house, all of which influence his records.
From his first single in 2020 to a Beatport Number 1, headline shows in London and New York, a debut Australian tour, and a slot at Coachella on the horizon, Riordan's trajectory is one of the most compelling in dance music right now. He is still in his early twenties. He is only getting started.

Riordan is a DJ and producer from Chichester and one of England's most exciting emerging dance music talents. Growing up locally, he spent many summers attending Goodwood’s Three Friday Nights - experiences that helped inspire his journey into DJing and producing music. Now making waves across the global house scene, with a Beatport No.1, headline shows across London, New York and Australia, and major festival appearances including Coachella on the horizon, Riordan returns to Goodwood for a special hometown moment.
Riordan blends modern house and tech house with influences from UK garage and classic club records.
His UK roots run deep: the rhythmic sensibility of UK Garage and the driving energy of Tech House sit at the core of his productions and a love of old-school sampling.
The result is a fresh yet familiar sound built for dancefloors, whether in packed clubs or on festival stages.
