About the Artist

"One of the most prolific American producers, remixers and DJs of his time" - DJ Times

With nearly 20 years of music experience, Vission got his start in Los Angeles where he'd cut class to go spin records. DJ culture was exploding in Los Angeles in the early 80s when there were no superstar DJs, just two turntables and a mixer. DJs spent hours perfecting their mixes, buying records, and making mix-tapes. Those hours of practicing paid off. Vission's music was so bumping that when he and his friends starting throwing house parties literally, in someone's backyard they'd charge $3 a head and 2,000 kids would show up.

His club success was a springboard for his first radio show, broadcast live from the club where he was playing. Vission was hooked: he knew radio was one place he definitely wanted to be. He got the opportunity to answer phones for free at POWER 106, and worked his way up for two years, building his street credibility at local events, always a mix-tape ready in his pocket, until the chance came: "They didn't have a DJ to mix so they played my tape. More than 100 people called in asking, 'Who was that mixing?!?'" The response opened the door to hosting and mixing Power 106's POWER TOOLS—now the longest running underground mix show in America—earning Vission the 2003 DanceStar Award for "Best Radio DJ".

In 1991 he got into the studio with "a couple of his boys," and, calling themselves The Movement, they were soon moving dancefloors worldwide with their international gold single, "Jump." Suddenly Vission was touring the world like a rock star. It's nonstop ever since. From DJing two seasons of MTV's "The Blame Game" to co-founding Aqua Boogie Records, Vission has gone on to remix everyone from Madonna, Destiny's Child, Nelly Furtado, Filter and Felix da Housecat. Not to mention landing over thirty Top 10 hits on Billboard's Dance Music Chart (19 of them hitting the number one slot) and earning him a Grammy Remixer of The Year nomination. His DJ mix compilations have made him one of the best selling American DJs with sales exceeding 500,000 units, numbers usually unheard of in electronic music, much less DJ mix compilations.

Richard Humpty Vission is set to shatter the sound barrier once again with his 8th mix CD, Big Floor Funk, a 60 minute continuous mix representing Vission's latest reinvention of his signature progressive funk and bangin' house style. This release is an enhanced CD with the video for its first single, Vission's "Never Let Me Down." RHV compiled over 30 tracks including four original productions along with The Crystal Method's "Born Too Slow", DJ Craze's "Soul Shine," and the chunky energy of the Andrea Doria club anthem "Bucci Bag (RHV Remix)".

Despite his heavy production schedule, Vission finds the time to play at more than 80 shows a year, from private birthday parties for Madonna to parties for 35,000 in the LA Coliseum to performing at the Grammys for over 20 million viewers. His non-stop touring schedule will kick off again in 2004, with more than 60 dates in North America in support of Big Floor Funk.

Contest Content Help

No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.

What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.

Can't open the ACID file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 3.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0, but not in ACID 1.0 or 2.0. If you are an ACID 1.0 or 2.0 user and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version of ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the contest loops in any version of ACID or other software.
