-Rich Medina cemented his name in the DJ world with
his infamous 90’s partnership with Cosmo Baker at
The Remedy in Philadelphia. In 1998, his Fun party
with DJ Language was part of turning the Lower East
Side of Manhattan into the new hot spot for club life.
Then came the mother lode, Lil’ Ricky’s Rib Shack, a
weekly dance function that started out as a 20-person
party at APT in 2001, and evolved into an
irreplaceable mid-week NYC institution for over 8
years. There, he connected with fan and hip-hop
legend Q-Tip in 2005, eventually combining forces to
create the Friday night weekly called Open at the
Andrew W.K.-owned Santos Party House in 2007, and
was soon considered the hottest Friday night party in
NYC for the next 2 years.
-Rich introduced a new generation of people to
Afrobeat music in 2001, with Jump N’ Funk, the first
and most consistent US dance party dedicated to the
late African musical icon, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Rich
and the Jump N’ Funk brand recently traveled to San
Francisco, LA, and Atlanta headlining Knitting Factory
Records' Felabrations!, a nationwide series of events
promoting the re-release of The Fela Kuti EMI
Catalog.
