Hailing from Philadelphia a city known for producing internationally known DJ's such as Jazzy Jeff, Cash Money and King Brit, Skeme Richards has put in nearly 25 years of DJing and producing. Diggin and spinning everything from Funk & Soul, Classics, Hip Hop, Breaks and all things funky he continuously strives to seperate himself from the pack. Recently focusing heavily on the bboy scene, Skeme has brought a new edge and sound with rocking more raw funk 45's than the traditional breaks. Since becoming a DJ for the world famous Rock Steady Crew, Skeme has had the opportunity to play jams and be heard across the globe. Not limiting himself to bboy events only, he is also a first-class party DJ that keeps the attention of even the trendiest crowds. Skeme has mastered the art of keeping dance floors packed by setting the tone early, and reading his crowd properly. In addition to DJing, Skeme has also been producing since the late 80's and along with his partner Fredy Blast make up the team, Sesion31. The duo has worked with artists such as MF Doom, Bahamadia, DJ Cash Money, and Steph Pockets who has both a #1 single and album in Japan.
