more about Cut La Roc >>
Cut La Roc remembers the look on his mum’s face when he bought his first Technics. She was horrified! ‘You paid two hundred pounds for a record player?!’ And that was
before she found I needed two! Well, Mrs La Roc, rest easy, your son did the right thing. By 15 he’d already got into bunking off school in Brighton to doss around with the local b-boys, already memorising their breakdancing moves and intricate scratch tricks.
Needless to say, the second Technics followed soon after. Lee immersed himself in the world of hip hop, scratching and editing his productions on cheap samplers and battling it out at local jams. All of a sudden, it was around 1987, acid house came along and Lee was seduced. His two early EPs in his ‘Mad Skills’ series stand alongside Fatboy Slim, Midfield General and Bentley Rhythm Ace’s finest as the foundations the Skint Empire was built on.
Cut La Roc became the scratch mix specialist of the Skint gang. No stranger to the big time, Cut had already appeared on Top of t he Pops as the late Wildchild’s DJ on the top ten hit ‘Renegade Master’. In 2000 he released a mix album for the Ministry of Sound’s FSUK imprint and set his first world record for DJ’ ing with 8 decks. He now holds the world record for simultaneously mixing on 20 decks and 10 mixers.
He etched his way into breakbeat lore with his inimitable brand of cutting & pasting anything he fancies into a frenzied whirling dervish of dancefloor mentalism. Crowd thrilling scratch tricks and a unique DJ’ing technique remain Cut La Roc’s specialty. Best demonstrating his continued boundary breaking style is his 2007 mix for Annie Nightingale’s show on radio1. It combines the best of old and new hip hop, storming breaks fused with a smattering of house.
His production career is equally as amazing as his turntablism. He’s released on the biggest label including Virgin, Ministry of Sound, Fingerlickin, Infectious and of course Skint and Rocstar. Now seven years since his critically claimed first album for Skint ‘La Roc Rocs’, Cut La Roc is back in a big way with Nemesis.
i am really excited...
