Ricky Stone quits DJing - last gig announced

10 December 2009

Ricky Stone, former N35 in DJMag Top 2008, best high ranking DJ in Asia region and co-owner of Flat Belly Recordings, yesterday announced that he will play his last gig on this New Year Eve in Bali. After this he is going to take part in a "very exciting New project" which details we will know very soon. Here is his official statement:

Dear Family and Friends,

I thought it was about time I put finger to keyboard on the reasons why I am quitting Djing.
On July 5th 2009 I made a decision that had been on my mind for quite some time. I decided to retire from Djing. After 15 years of touring the World I will play my Final DJ Set this 31.12 in Bali at Double 6 Club.
The decision was not an easy one but I felt the time had come to call it a day. Djing changed my life and it has been one hell of a ride. I have traveled to many, many places and seen so many wonderful things. I think the realization that having to sleep a few hours in the hotel before going to the club wasn’t an ideal situation anymore! In my early and mid twenties sleep wasn’t a factor. I could go three days without sleeping. These days I lead a much more ‘healthy’ lifestyle, awaking daily at 7am to hit the gym. I just felt that I needed a new challenge in my life and wanted to spend more time in the place I love and call home, Hong Kong.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family and the many friends I have met around the World and to the people who were instrumental in my success here in Asia.
I am now part of a very exciting New project that will launch in early 2010 which has five major name djs as shareholders. More information to come on that shortly….

Big Love

Ricky Stone x
