about
There are at least 2 artists by the name of ROKO: 1) Roko ist a German hard rock / melodic hard rock project by Roko (Robert Kohlmeyer) also in JoJo and German Rock Project. The first selftitled album was released in 1990, followed by "Open Invitation" and "Think About Tomorrow". In 1997 a solo relase called Fantasy hit the shelves and seems to be the last album so far. 2) ROKO is a beginner filmmaker/hardcore cinephile hopelessly in love with Music, Art and Culture, spending a lot of his time mixing the Deep, Dark and Dutty sounds of Dubstep & Grime on his laptop. As well as a digital DJ, he has a history in music through playing electric guitar for the past 10 years. His own musical background ranges from Rock to Black&Death Metal and from there onto Oldschool Jungle, Ragga-Jungle and the rest of the electronic music spectrum. However, musically he is extremely inspired by music from Classical to Blues/Jazz/Funk/Soul, Hip-Hop to Techno, Dub, Reggae, all sort of Metal as well as Experimental Music and the Avant-garde. At the moment mixing-wise the dominating sound is definately the emerging Dubstep & Grime. Earlier ROKO was pushing these sounds in his hometown Helsinki, working as a partner in crime towards a bigger Dubstep scene with fellow Helsinki sub-bass addicts. Now having moved back to London he is playing SUB FM weekly and organising a monthly night B.O.M.B@Cafe1001 on Brick Lane.
