Deepchild
DJ from Coogee, Australia
Persistently futurist and unfashionably non-business-techno meets hauntological electronica in a time of late capitalism.

Deepchild is production alias of Rick Bull, formerly Berlin-based dj, producer and sound designer, who’s dub-soaked, muscular dancefloor aesthetic has seen him perform as live in spaces spanning Berlin’s Berghain / Panoramabar, to the Sydney Opera House, Detroit “Movement” Festival, and countless club tours from Tokyo to Eastern Europe.
A distinctly tensile, sensual and hauntological take on deeper techno has spawned releases and remixes for labels like Mille Plateaux, Future Classic, BBE, Leisure System, Trapez, Affin, Freerange Records and the artist’s own Seppüku Records.
Granular, noise-heavy and smeared with signature vocal fragments, Bull’s work calls forth the futurist trajectory of early 2000s micro-house and ‘clicks and cuts’ movement, welded to the insistent pulse of a dubwise, locked-groove sensibility.
Meanwhile, side projects as aliases the the dissociative and ambient “Acharné” or electro-savvy “Concubine” (with Noah Pred) have seen continued acclaim for this singularly unique artist, including nomination for a Canadian Juno Award, and performances (as Acharné) alongside luminaries like William Basinski and Jlin at Berlin’s Funkhaus for the Ableton LOOP Conference.
