True Faith
Richie DJ’d across the planet, flying the flag for his proud Melbourne town from 1990 ‘til the mid 2000s, all the while establishing record stores, music distribution businesses, record labels and infamous club nights. He also ran Australia's most influential independent dance distributor, Mushroom’s DanceNet, from 1992-95 during the global explosion golden era of dance music.
The Hardware impression on Australia is undeniable and this 30-year book tells the story through Richie’s eyes across more than 400 pages of stories, photos, posters and memorabilia.

Richie is a very organized individual. He wrote a book and archived over 10,000 photos from the past 30 years, which is quite an achievement. The book itself is designed in a way that presents a natural timeline, with the photos and scanned flyers aging together, and the addition of original 1990's Melway's pages giving it a nice touch. It's a well-executed concept, and credit goes to Chris for tracking down one of those old maps.
