Meet Archie.
Hi, I’m Archie. I’ve been DJing since I was seven years old (yes, actually), and from the very start I loved the same thing I still love now: creating that moment when a room switches on and everyone’s on the dancefloor.
I’ve got one clear goal, to put an end to cheesy events and weddings and give people who want that proper nightclub feel exactly what they’re looking for.
How It Started…
Me,12, outside of the DJ Shop I purchased my first set of speakers at.
I first DJ’d at seven years old, at my school’s annual disco. My parents rented a set of speakers, and I brought the lighting I’d bought with my saved pocket money. That night I fell in love with it, the music, the buzz, and making people dance.
In 2022, I launched Sound Spark Entertainment, the predecessor to Archie Ryder. As it grew, I got clearer on the DJ I wanted to be. I wanted to strip out all the cheese and bring a proper nightclub feel to events and weddings, something I felt was missing.
How It’s Going…
Since then, I’ve set myself one mission: to give people who want that nightclub feel exactly what they’re looking for. I want you to be able to trust me, knowing it’s going to be the party you’ve always imagined.
More recently, I’ve been working deeply within the nightclub scene, running dance music events across Kent, alongside working full-time in the events industry for a pro audio company. So I know what it takes to build a proper atmosphere, not just play tracks, but create an event that feels big, looks the part, and keeps the room moving.
