KEXP radio host and Seattle nightlife icon DJ Riz is, in some people’s words, “possibly the most versatile DJ the city has ever known.” In Riz’s own words, “‘I’ve been a DJ since I was about ten: a record player, a spindle, metal for the big records, and this circular pyramid for records with the big holes. I am from Chicago, but not the Chicago you’re thinking of. I live in Seattle, but not the Seattle you’re thinking of. I like rock, hip hop, soul, gospel, funk, but not the rock, hip hop, soul, gospel, funk you’re thinking of.
