Moving to the UK in 1999, Riki Rocket began her career in Brighton, where she spent a formative decade immersed in the city’s underground club culture, holding multiple residencies and becoming a familiar presence on some of its most respected dance floors, including Candy Bar, Envy and Concorde 2. Those early years shaped her signature approach: emotionally intelligent, rhythm-driven sets that prioritise flow, atmosphere and connection over hype.
Now based in British Columbia, Riki has built an international profile as a DJ and producer known for her instinctive pacing and ability to shape the energy of a room. Her career highlights span Europe, Australia and Western Canada, including headline appearances for the Bitch party series at Sydney Mardi Gras, Zurich’s Pink Apple Festival closing party, Club Skirts at Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, and major Pride celebrations worldwide.
Riki is currently a resident DJ with Vancouver’s FlyGirl Productions, one of Canada’s most influential queer-led party collectives. Whether performing at festivals, intimate club spaces or large-scale celebrations, her sets are defined by warmth, musicality and a deep respect for house music’s dancefloor heritage.
