Mr. C

Richard West aka Mr.C was born in London in the late 60s. He started MC ing in London clubs aged 16 & soon earned a reputation as a fast talking vivacious rapper working with LWR radio's Ron Tom, Jasper the Vinyl Junkie & Jazzy M. Mr.C then hooked up with Colin Faver & Evil Eddie Richards in 1986 to became resident rapper at the legendary Camden Palace in London, going on to MC for Colin Faver on the then illegal pirate radio station Kiss FM. Mr.C was resident DJ & street promoter at the legendary RIP parties at Clink Street, London Bridge throughout 1988. It was here that Rave Culture as we know it is said to have been born, inspiring many of the large London orbital raves that were to follow in 88, 89 & 90. After working on various pirate radio stations including LWR, Fantasy FM & Dance FM, Mr.C held down a weekly radio show called Future Music on Kiss 100FM in London from 1993-2002. He has also presented TV shows for MTV, FH1, VIVA & BBC making Mr.C one of the most iconoclastic DJs in the world. In December 1995 Mr.C opened his legendary nightclub The End in London with Partner Layo Paskin, creating the blueprint for all modern-day night clubs that were to follow. The End celebrated its 13th anniversary in December 2008 & was lauded as one of the best night clubs in the world, completely changing the face of clubbing in London & beyond. Sadly, The End & AKA closed its doors for good on January 24th 2009. One Chapter closes & another begins. Mr.C is co-founder & owner of Plink Plonk records, co-founder & co-owner of End Recordings & founder & co-owner of the Superfreq label, which is now releasing music prolifically.
