Craig Richards

Craig Richards, born in 1966 in Bournemouth, England, is a British tech house DJ who began his career in 1993 after art school, initially organizing one-off parties before promoting specific nights in established nightclubs. He operates under the alias Scumdolly and was part of the group Tyrant alongside Lee Burridge and initially Sasha. Richards runs The Nothing Special label, which has served as the home for his releases since 2017.

Richards produces driving peak-time techno, classic electro influenced by Detroit traditions, tech house, and raw hypnotic techno across varying tempos and energy levels. His catalog on The Nothing Special spans from 2017 to 2025, showcasing a sound that moves between the driving momentum of peak-time techno and the deeper, more hypnotic territories of underground dance music. The five releases demonstrate his range across electro's classic framework and techno's more intense, raw expressions, positioning him as an artist comfortable working within multiple electronic music contexts while maintaining focus on dancefloor functionality.
