You gotta be at the top of your game in order to carry a name that sounds like this came off the pages of a super hero comic strip. Fortunately for Rich Pangilinan, AKA The Riddler, he is. In addition to being named best radio mix show DJ at the International Dance Music awards and Hot Mixer of the Year at the Winter Music Conference, The Riddler's released a slew of best selling dance mix compilation cds which have sold over 2 million copies world wide. Among them, MTV's "The Grind" (Tommy Boy), "Club Nation" (Ministry of Sound/MCA) and the popular "Dance Mix" series, volumes 1-5 (Tommy Boy), Ultra Dance 06(Ultra), Ultra Trance 5 (Ultra), Club Anthems (Ultra), Ultra Dance 08(Ultra).

Aside from his compilation cds, the Riddler has released major label remixes with the likes of Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Dido, Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera. In addition, he has worked on many projects like High School Musical, and co-produced the hit single "The Anthem" for Pitbull's latest CD Boatlift.

Riddler started his radio career under the moniker DJ Rippin' Rich/DJ Rich in Houston with another Top 40 station but left in 1995 to work for WHTZ/Z100 in New York.  In 2000, the Riddler was born at New York's WKTU 103.5FM.  However, he returned back to his hometown of Houston in 2008.  He can be now heard every Friday and Saturday from 10pm to 2am on the New Hot 95.7 FM Live from various Houston city nightclubs.  Check him out on his website at www.djriddler.com and at www.myspace.com/deejayriddler
