Keister

Keister (pronouced key-ster) is a electronica duo based out of Austin, TX.

Before DJ’s were DJ’s, and mixing was a mere verb without connotation, Ritchie Wallace had his needle dropped in the cases of vinyl stacks behind a booth at a local roller skating rink. At age 16, it was his first job well before the job was considered an art form. Eighteen years later, with various remixes, residencies, and guest performances under his belt, the DJ, Remixer, and Producer is counted among the few that can honestly recount the evolution of the craft from first hand knowledge. Wallace has performed with various acts during residencies in Dallas, Jamaica, and Baton Rouge...but for now you'll find him in the studio, only going as far as his headphone cord will let him stretch out to.

Born under blues roots in Lake Charles, La., Charlie Guidry has played music since the age of 13. Learning to play various instruments with different band line-ups, his passion for music composition increased along side the innovations of new electronic music technologies. Guidry found his sound through the infusion of acoustic and electronic instruments and has spent the last fifteen years perfecting the art of creating a groove. After studying audio engineering technology in Texas, he now works as an audio engineer at various studios in the Austin, TX area.

Influences range from Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin, Depeche Mode to Massive Attack, and Chemical Brother to Orbital.
