Rossco

Rossco

Since bursting onto the Newcastle Electronic Music scene in early 2004, Rossco has maintained momentum in raising his profile as one of the most innovative Trance and Techno DJs to come out of the steel city.

Armed with a record bag full of the latest and yet to be released tunes from some of the genre's biggest labels including Armada, Soundpiercing, Discover, Eve Records, Trancetribe Recordings, Detox, Stay up Forever, and countless more, Rossco is well positioned to move forward in Australia's trance scene coming into the 2008/2009 season.

Never backing away from a challenge, Rossco has been known to throw all conventions out the window and push the boundaries just that bit further, like stepping up to the turntables and playing an entire set without headphones (Transmission DJ Comp, 2006) or combining three different genres in what can only be described as a juggling act mixing tracks on four CD turntables, spiced up with with looping and effects (Traffik Jam III, 2007), or playing an impromptu set infront of 3500 electro fans using an unknown DJ's tracks when one of the headline DJs went missing (Groovin' The Moo, 2007).

Rossco's supports list reads like a who's who of Trance and Techno including: Eddie Halliwell, Above and Beyond, Cosmic Gate, John '00' Fleming, Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson, Public Domain, Alex Kidd, Matt Hardwick, Scott Bond, Scot Project, Anne Savage, John Askew, Organ Donors, The Thrillseekers, DJ Wag, Kyau vs Albert, Christopher Lawrence, and more at some of the worlds most respected dance events, such as: Godskitchen, Slinky, and Trancetribe: Experience.

April 2008 saw Triple-J's "The Club" broadcast Rossco's entire March 08 Demo, nationwide. Following this Rossco decided to launch his own podcast "Trance Essential" which showcases the latest in Trance from some of the biggest artists and labels in the game. His podcast has been received with widespread acclaim from all over Australia and abroad, leading to interest from interstate promoters and consistently hitting the top 10 of the iTunes music podcast charts with each episode.

With Trance gaining momentum, and Rossco taking a solid hold at the forefront of the local scene, who knows what the rest of the year will bring!
