Heartbeat by Rocco

As 2006 continues to witness la French music revolution, Lyons talented Rocco delivers a cutting edge new debut for Shack Music titled Heartbeat deemed to get those pulses racing! Heartbeat is a slice of emotive house with a minimal edge, ripe with dramatic keys and atmospheric synth waves riding over deep beat undercurrents. 83 Wests Martino prescribes a hypnotic intense floor workout with his Life Support Mix, whilst Rocco delivers a beautiful balearic flavoured Latin Mix, laced with sunkissed percussive beats and pretty key washes.

Having owned a pair of decks since the age of 16, Roccos early musical influences came from listening to Dimitri from Paris s radio show on Skyrock radio from 1987 to 1989. In 1994 Rocco started his first Dj residency at Space where he played warm up sets for greats such as DJ Deep, Laurent Garnier and Carl Cox, then in 1996 he developed his soulful style at the Ambassade club in Lyon, playing alongside Louie Vega, Lenny Fontana & Kenny Carpenter, later moving to Portugal holding residencies at various clubs including the Studio and Hot Rio before returning to France n 2003. In 2003 Rocco settled into his new London residency at Buzzin Fly run and owned by Ben Watt (EBTG). Rocco turned his hand to production and released his first track in 1999 with Sir James titled Baby which was featured on the Private Party compilation for Universal Records (France). In 2001, he teamed up with Friends AlexS, David, and Manoo and formed Rodamaal releasing their acclaimed single Love Island on Jazz-Up records in 2002. Rodamaal has notably been supported and followed by Ben Watt. One of their EPs, Musica Feliz feat. Nicinha was released on Buzzin Fly Records and also featured on their first compilation. Rocco has also made many remixes including: Automagic Feat. Aswan Do You Feel? (BuzzinFly); Alison Lorraine Something About You (Deeplay Music); Candy Apple Feat.
