    their own biography

    the whole biography
    I was born and raised in the Caribbean, specifically in Barbados, where dance music and community are very alive in our daily lives especially within our community. I grew up mostly listening to dancehall and reggae in my household, but from a young age I found myself draw to techno through dancing — not through a scene, but through how the rhythm made me feel in my body. Techno is a sound that’s far from common in the Eastern Caribbean, which made the connection I feel for it even more personal. it resonated with me in a way that felt physical, emotional, and deeply personal. I started producing electronic dance music in Barbados just for fun, but after moving to the United States at 18, I began to take it more seriously. I started DJing in college, and over time, it grew into something much bigger than a hobby but a way of creating the saame freedom of dancing through sound processing and expressing experience.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    ROCCO (they/he/IT) is an interdisciplinary artist (DJ, producer, archivist, painter, and organizer) based in New York City. Their developing sound weaves elements from old school industrial, experimental, punk, and glitch with a clear nod to the quintessential jacking American style originating in Chicago. They founded FIGA, a queer collective focused on honoring the American roots of techno and platforming modern pioneers of dance music to facilitate community and expand the reach of the underground artists who have inspired them.
