Twilo

Twilo celebrates its 3rd party of the year with a stellar lineup and production to awe. As we wave goodbye to the winter months , Twilo proudly presents a series of spring lineups which encapsulate cutting edge electronic music from across the globe. This month we welcome to the decks Rocky. Just as well known for his role as a third of the X-press 2 trio his sound fits in perfectly to bring that warm,driving, percussive, deeper sound that is currently smashing Twilo's dancefloor. Here as a few words from our maestro to give us a further insight into what here:

I started DJing in the mid 80s playing hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk at a local youth club and various birthdays, weddings etc. Got my first proper gig at one of Simon Dunmore’s parties in West London. Hooked up with Diesel in 87 and did the first Rocky and Diesel gig at a night called Trance (!) in Barbarellas, Greenford on the 12th June 1988. We were playing when the whole acid house thing blew up and got carried along with the wave. Landed a residency at London’s Yellow Book in 89 and also got matey with the Boys Own crew, making regular appearances at their events. Started doing the odd remix around 1990 for the Farm and a few other bands that were around at the time. Hooked up with Ashley Beedle in 92 and made the first X-Press 2 record, Muzik Express. A string of club hits followed also started Ballistic Brothers along with Beedle, Dave Hill and Uschi Classen. X-Press 2 landed a DJ residency at Cream for 6 months around 95.

We wound X-Press2 and Ballistics up around 96 , I then started working with Mark Wilkinson, producing as Problem Kids, writing 2 albums and several singles for Paper Recordins and Junior Boys Own. Continued working with Mark until around 99 when we decided to give X-Press 2 another go. We wrote the album Muzikizum that included Lazy with David Byrne that reached number2 in the UK pop charts. Been working on X-Press 2 stuff constantly since then. Wrote a second album, Makeshift Feelgood and released a best of album, Raise Your Hands in 2008. Landed a show on Kiss London in October 2008 with XP2, every Sunday night Monday morning 1-3am. www.totalkiss.com/xpress2 I’ve always done solo gigs alongside the XP2 stuff. Still doing lots of these around East London and further afield. Studio wise, currently writing lots of new XP2 tracks with some ace singers/writers and making underground house tracks with Terry Farley.

With exclusive resident & guests DJs from around the UK in support Twilo March is certain to be rocking and one to pin in the diary as not to be missed. See you on the floor...
