A DJ for 20 years, Rocco’s career started in small underground Techno influenced clubs in Lyons, France, where he learned his trade alongside DJs like Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, Louie Vega and DJ Deep.
Rocco teamed up with Alex Santos and Manoo in 2001 to form Rodamaal.
Various EPs and singles for Buzzin’ Fly Ben Watt's label followed but it is the ‘Insomnia’ single - remixed by Âme - that is definitively the biggest single for Rodamaal, and it remains a Deep House classic.
Rocco started to release solo projects on various prestigious labels like Freerange, Defected, MN2S, Real Tone, and it is his single ‘Someday’, released on Real Tone - Franck Roger’s label - that propelled him as a major player status in the Deep House scene.
Laurent Garnier, who had been supporting Rocco’s productions for many years, included on his DJ Mag compilation ‘TBT3’ which is a milestone in Rocco’s career as it points toward the new musical direction.
