Rick Wade

Rick Wade is one of Detroit's most prolific house producers, having released dozens of records since the mid-'90s. The embodiment of deep house, his tracks generally consist of steady kick drums, minimal strings or pianos, the occasional soul or disco sample, and a smooth, slightly melancholy atmosphere. Highly respected by his fellow DJs and house aficionados worldwide, he is praised for his ability to craft timeless tracks at a rapid pace. He began releasing albums during the 2000s, including 2008's The Good, the Bad and the Deep, and compilations such as 2009's Harmonie Park Revisited helped listeners catch up with his extensive catalog. His 2015 full-length Golden Harvest was an excursion into downtempo instrumental hip-hop, and a few EPs, such as 2020's Another Galaxy, offered a more sci-fi-influenced variation on his trademark deep house sound.
