Sidney & Matilda Presents:
Mr. C and David H
Richard West aka Mr.C was born in London in the late 60's. He started MCing 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 went into the studio to record his first Deep House track called
Page 67 with Eddie Richards as Myster-E, which was released in August 1987. This inspired Mr.C to
become a DJ to learn more about his beloved House & Techno music so in September 1987 Richard quit
his milkman job & took to the decks. Mr.C has since organized, promoted & been resident DJ at: Fantasy
('88), Base (Dungeons '89), Release (91), Harmony (92), Drop (93), Cyclone (94), Vapourspace (94 & 95),
Flavour (The End 95 & 96), Subterrain (The End 95 - 2002), Superfreq (Worldwide 2002 - Present), Super
Disco Freq (LA 2010 - present), Souled Out (2021 – present).
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.
Mr.C has recorded under the names, Myster-E, Unity 2, Nu Jacks, Bass Bureau, The Shamen, Mantrac,
Somnambulist, Animus Amour, Killer Loop, Mr.C & Tom Parris, Mr.C & 16B, Sycophant Slags, Indigo Kidz,
East LA Tek, Wonkytonk & The Cheek.
Mr.C is best known as front man, songwriter & producer of the pop group The Shamen with whom he
notched up a string of top 10 UK hits including Move Any Mountain, Love Sex Intelligence, Boss Drum,
Phorever People & the UK number 1 smash hit Ebeneezer Goode. These hits were hits the world over. The
Shamen album Boss Drum went double platinum in the UK & Richard also won a highly coveted Ivor
Novelo for Songwriters of the year UK in 1992/93. Richard's currently recording solo as Mr.C & is also
doing collaborations as the Indigo Kidz with Affie Yusuf, with Noel Jackson as East LA Tek, with Radio
Rental as Wonkytonk & new forthcoming project The Cheek with Modulon.
Mr.C runs & promotes Superfreq events, which is celebrated its 22nd anniversary in March 2024. Superfreq
ran monthly at Mr.C's club The End until it closed down in January 2009 and now functions bi-annually in
London, hopping around various pop-up warehouse venues & clubs. These have included The Steelyard
after an extremely successful event with Richie Hawtin in December 2015, regular events at Fabric,
quarterly events at Red Gallery until it’s closure in July 2018, after which Superfreq used various
warehouse spots around London & hosted 2 events at Egg London. Superfreq then started throwing day-
time events in London in 2023 including 3 stand out events at Aures London including the Superfreq New
Year’s Day Ball & his next Superfreq there on 28 th September 2024. Superfreq did 2 larger all-day summer
events called Superfreq Grande at the amazing LDN East in 2023. Superfreq has also started its annual
events on Koh Phangan Thailand with a superb night at Retro Mountain in January 2023 & 2 events at
Samsara Koh Phangan in January & February 2024.
Superfreq does regular events in Los Angeles & has done one-off events in Brooklyn, Chicago, San
Francisco, San Diego & Dallas as well as events in various cities in the United States. Superfreq also has
previously done events in Vancouver, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico City, Ibiza, Bogota, Montañita & other
one offs the world over. Superfreq has competed 2 Asia tours hitting Manila, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap,
Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Beijing & Shenzhen. Superfreq accomplished 7 successful seasons in
Ibiza in the 00s, 3 at Club Underground, 2 at the legendary DC10, 1 season at Blu, 3 events at Aura &
hosted annual events at BPM Festival in Playa Del Carmen until it’s unfortunate closure.
In 2024 Mr.C will be releasing music from the Superfreq label’s great roster every month. His Radical
Inclusion remixes went down a storm in 2020 after the original release in summer 2019. He followed those
remixes up with his outstanding Celebration of Life single in late 2020. His recent Wonkytonk project with
Radio Rental got lots of attention with his own Mr.C remix particularly doing damage. Wonkytonk has a new
release lined up for Spring 2025. His recent series of 3 back-to-back EP releases with Noel Jackson as
East LA Tek also gained a lot of attention, as did recent Mr.C remixes for Nepotek, Sam Money, J Gabriel
& Chuffing Buffy & Terry Francis, all for Superfreq.
