Having amassed quite a vinyl collection at just the tender age of 14 years old and listening to DJ’s such as Masters at Work, Derek Carter, Carl Cox and the likes Rossco felt it was time to stop being a geek and record collector and start learning to DJ. This two- led to him grafting away for his father to earn his first set of Technics 1210’s and a mixer and the rest as they say is see-history. ROSSCO is ranked on djrankings.org. After learning the technique of beat matching Rossco was quick to fuse his new found passion with all elements of djing and learn how to piece the perfect set together.

He would spend around 6 hours per day mastering the new techniques he was learning and by the age of 15 his hard work started to pay off as he was booked for his first show alongside Luvdup. He old- was quickly made a resident for Decadence which at it’s peak was in the top 5 nights in the country and voted best midweek party in UK which he can holdto this date of one of the best parties he has ever played at.

As an eclectic collector of music from house to hip hop and techno to breakbeat Rossco fast became popular with promoters who were looking for something a little bit any-different.

Rossco went from strength to strength when he settled into a policy of playing one style of music (his first love HOUSE) and quickly started to make more waves in the scene getting bookings throughout Europe at destinations such as Greece, Cyprus, France and Switzerland. He now- also in this time managed to get as far as Australia and New Zealand when he’s stock spread and he started on his way with producing music.
