ritchey is a Seattle-based DJ and the creator of Coffee n Bass — a weekly liquid drum & bass show on DNBRadio that has run every Friday morning at 7 AM Pacific since 2015. What started as a weekly radio commitment has grown into something more specific: 467 episodes, 2.2 million downloads, and an audience that shows up not just for the music but for the feeling the show consistently delivers. Coffee n Bass functions, in practice, as a tastemaker platform even if it never announced itself as one.

The sound is liquid and atmospheric DNB: melodic and emotionally wide-ranging from euphoric, melancholic, ominous to dreamy and all expressed through texture and melody. Drum & bass built for mornings, focus, and good mental health. The curation is principled using taste-led buying only, which keeps the show sounding fresh rather than reactive to the weekly release cycle. Eleven years of consistent output and engagement is the evidence that the argument holds.
