"To fully gauge the effect Craig Richards has had on UK club music, it's worth winding the clock back to the turn of the century. Parties pushing deep, underground house and techno are an ingrained part of the UK's clubbing makeup these days, but when fabric, the venue where Richards has been a resident for the past 17 years, opened in 1999, things were very different. "Everything was super, super, super, super: super club, superstar DJs, super-sized everything," Judy Griffith, fabric's promotions manager and talent booker, told us last month. "Musically, [fabric] was just such a breath of fresh air." With Richards at the helm as both a resident DJ and a musical director, the club's Saturday nights became a bastion of subtle and refined sounds. fabric introduced UK audiences to a string of talented underground names from around the globe (most famously Ricardo Villalobos, who since making his debut there in 2002, has been a mainstay of the club's Room 1). Others were doing what Richards and fabric were, but on nowhere near the same scale and with such incredible consistency.

This is, of course, a hugely significant moment in fabric's history. This past weekend, the club opened for the first time since August, following a lengthy and highly-publicised battle to regain its licence. As Joe Muggs noted in our recent In Residence feature, fabric's staff handled the situation with sensitivity and professionalism, but throughout they've been focussed on getting back to what they do best: running a nightclub to the highest possible standard. Richards himself is an embodiment of this low-key, steadfast ethos. He plays all over the world, runs a respected record label (The Nothing Special) and occasionally makes music, but his efforts are mostly channelled into making each Saturday night at fabric truly memorable.

We've wanted to host a mix from Richards since the RA podcast began back in 2006, but we can say with certainty that it's been worth the wait. Like pretty much all of his DJ sets since fabric opened, RA.554 epitomises the philosophy that you don't need pyrotechnics to make your mark. This is three hours of deep, groovy and nuanced dance music from a master of the form. "
