Rocky

Be it with X-Press 2 or when flying solo, UK DJ and producer talent Rocky knows how to push all the boundaries. Rocky started DJing in the mid 80s playing hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk at a local youth club and various birthdays and weddings; he later on moved to performing at clubs in and around London. He hooked up with Diesel in ’87, appearing regularly at Boys Own events and by ’92 Rocky and Diesel had joined forces with Ashley Beedle and formed X-Press 2 who burst onto the international club scene with the demented sirens, typewriter-noise percussions and dance floor pyrotechnics of ‘Muzik Express’ which became an instant worldwide club hit.
In ’96 Rocky and Mark Wilkinson started producing as Problem Kids, writing two albums and several singles for Paper Recordings and Junior Boys Own. This continued until Ashley, Diesel and Rocky decided to give X-Press 2 another go, and in April of 2000 X-Press 2 found themselves back together on the road and in the studio. They went on to develop a dazzling six deck DJ performance that used effects-ridden mic performances from Ashley and CD-players and basic samplers to send crowds wild. Rocky has been working on X-Press 2 stuff consistently, and nowadays labels like Skint Records still release their essential work. Rocky is a man of many talents and whether he chooses to perform solo or with X-Press 2, be sure to expect a great delivery and a huge passion.
