Explicit Codec Podcast 022 - Chad Stolarick (Las Vegas, USA)

It was 1997, aged 16, in a garage on the Wirral, North West England, when his brother was out that Roo's love for mixing music started. He was already curious about house music after his big brother bought him a Ministry of Sound compilation the year before and the sound hit a note. Sneaking into the garage at every opportunity when his brother was out and learning the basics on his Technics 1210s, hooked by the early sounds of house through stories of Cream, Liverpool, the love affair had started!

As well as organising one off local nights, Roo has held residencies at Lennons Bar, Magaluf and Most recently Man's Ruin Bar in Liverpool, playing an open format sound, purely to get himself back and involved in what he loves most.

His musical roots are seeded to the dark driving sound of progressive house, influenced by household names such as Sasha, John Digweed, Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa and Danny Howells

More recently, Roo's sound has included chunky tech with a sprinkle of techno to go alongside his progressive roots.

Explicit - Very clear and complete, leaving no doubt about the meaning.
