DJ Riddler,
also known as The Riddler (born Rich Pangilinan in Chicago,
Illinois) is
a Filipino-American dance DJ, Producer, Remixer on
the air Nationally on Sirius/XM BPM, in New York City WKTU 103.5FM and on KKHH
Hot 95.7 FM in Houston,
TX.
His career started like
many-in the bedroom. However, it didn’t take very long before he went
from Mobile DJ, to Club DJ, to Radio DJ. Rippin’
Rich as he was known in 1988, got on the air as a mixshow DJ on then Rhythmic Top 40 station KNRJ –
Energy 96.5. As one of the members of the Mixmaster Five, Rippin’
Rich was rockin’ the Houston Airwaves with a variety
of House, Freestyle, Hip-Hop, and pop. Over the next couple of years he would
hold club residencies all over Texas
– Houston,
Austin, San
Antonio.
In 1993, he joined 104.1
KRBE under then PD Tom Poleman and MD Paul
“Cubby” Bryant and started the first in-house mixshow
called The Beat. Dropping “Rippin” and
just by going under DJ Rich, he continued his radio mixshow
persona and style to the airwaves. Later that year, DJ Rich would pick up mixshows in Austin-KHFI and San Antonio-KTFM.
In 1995, he left Texas for New
York City to work for Tommy Boy
Records and the very next year, he re-joined Tom and Cubby at WHTZ-Z100 as
their mix show DJ. There DJ Rich would continue the mixshow Planet Z until 2000.
In 2000, due to the Clearchannel merger, DJ Rich was moved to sister station
and New York Dance leader 103.5 WKTU. Then PD, Frankie Blu
and MD Jeff Z changed DJ Rich’s name to The Riddler
and DJ Riddler was born.
Over the years, Riddler has won numerous awards for his Radio Mix shows and
CD compilations. Most notably, Riddler won Best
Radio Mix show DJ in 2001 and 2003 at the International Dance Music Awards
during the Miami Winter Music Conference. In 2005, he also won Best CD
compilation at the same awards show for his CD – Ultra Dance 06. He
has released over 17 Mixed CD compilations, numerous singles and one
Full-length artist CD selling well over 2 million copies cumulatively.
Beyond the Radio Mix shows
and CD compilations, Rich Pangilinan is a notable
Producer and Remixer. Over the years he has
remixed with his production partner Albert Castillo under the name AL B. Rich
some of the big names in the music industry like Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pink, and others. The two
produced the hit single “The Anthem” for then TVT artist Pitbull for his 2007 CD Boatlift.
