Raised on an African island, born and based in Lisbon, Rocky is a whirlwind of excitement and enthusiasm. She delivers high octane techno sets inspired by her diverse cultural background and passion for self-expression through music.

This four-tracker is yet another pivotal career moment for this exciting Portuguese artist, whose summer has included shows at Beachland, Free Your Mind Festival, and Dance Valley, where Pig & Dan saw her play for the first time; they loved her sound and quickly a friendship emerged over an equal love for music, resulting in them signing her to their ELEVATE imprint.

‘Rebirth’ the EP is a masterclass in old-school-influenced acid-sharpened bangers, gritty yet melodic. All four tracks mark the start of an exciting few months for Valente.

‘Unapologetic’ pulls you straight in, with a driving bass, piston-powered stabs and a scintillating top line, tied together with a soulful vocal loop. With ‘Under the Radar’, hi hats fizz through industrial clangs, building a contagious energy. ‘Background Story’ ramps up the intensity with a haunting top line and startling, scattered percussion, climbing to a peak before the pounding beat takes over. Last but not least, ‘Negotiation’ is the black sheep of this main-room-ready release. Skilfully informed with a bubbling riff and almost trance-inspired melody that juxtapose the darkness of the kick drum, this rounds off the EP on a high.

This is a fiery debut from a hot, fresh talent, bringing a whole new edge of euphoria to the ELEVATE imprint.

Rocky Valente - Under the Radar

Don Weber is an exciting young talent working his way through the ranks, with DJ support for his music coming from the likes of Joseph Capriati, Sam Paganini, Luigi Madonna, Spartaque and Paco Osuna. Already he has had tracks chart inside the techno section of Beatport’s Top 100, and this is another EP that showcases his exceptional talent for unmistakable riffs and explosive percussion.
The EP opens with the hypnotic vocals of “No Excuse” that has old school chord stabs and thumping percussion at the heart of its full throttle groove. Next up is the pounding kick drum and bleeping euphoria of “Exstasy”, before the final track “Get up” finishes the release with a bang.
