Puerto Rico born DJ, Vocalist and Producer, Natalia Roth set in motion this life path in 2014. Never afraid to take risks and always looking for new musical changes, Natalia’s passion started at an early age learning to play piano and guitar. In time, her commitment for music lead to writing poems, followed by songwriting.

Her desire to dive into the underground dance music realm was inspired by countless nights of wandering through techno raves in Puerto Rico. She caught herself attracted to the alterations of atmosphere on the dance floor, studying the variation of emotions. Natalia’s curiosity got her to the booth and eventually to the studio. She discovered a new way of expressing herself through music.

After years of tweaking her craft and growing as a DJ, she established a name for herself locally. Natalia’s sound is heavily influenced by modern minimal house and techno. Describing her style as fusing minimal tech and techno to bring a new essence to the industry. Currently living in Miami, Natalia has expanded her carrier and started her own party brand, Melódie.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.

Jesse Calosso spent the early years of his life in the Bronx. The bustling streets would always brim with many musical forms, from hip hop to reggaeton, house to salsa. Endlessly diverse and rich with culture and colour, those early experiences made an indelible mark which means that today, Calosso is stylistically impossible to pin down. He can do Chicago tinged house, driving techno drums and everything in between, all tied together with his love of dangerously infectious basslines.   This diversity of sound and an unrestricted approach in the studio has quickly lead Calosso to the top. Always keeping an open mind when recording, he begins with impromptu jams and goes wherever the music takes him. So far that has been to some of the best labels in the game - Cuttin' Headz, Hot Creations, and Tuskegee, the first of which very much announced his arrival and picked up critical acclaim and widespread support from key players.   "I like to try and keep an open mind when it comes to music," says the now Miami based Calosso, who came up with close-knit New York City peers like The Martinez Brothers and Filsonik. As adept at crafting sleek minimal grooves as he is serving up soulful house or cooking up disco flecked bombs, he admits his aim is always to be as versatile as possible and never do the same thing twice.   He is just as widescreen in the DJ booth. Long sets are the best way to experience him as he stretches his musical legs and digs deep into all the facets of his sound, from deep and heady to pumped up and party starting. Adapting to any situation and making key connections with the crowd is what stands Calosso apart. "I always like to play a bit of everything and have fun, to play those records that catch people off guard."  For that reason he has played some of the most revered clubs in the world: a surprise set at Panorama Bar with Jerome Sydenham's Ibadan Records, a masterclass at the cult Sunwaves Festival and plenty of times at an always packed out DC10 in Ibiza for standout parties Paradise and Circo Loco, including an iconic back to back with The Martinez Brothers that lived long in the memory of all who heard it. Add in regular slots at Music On, Amnesia Ibiza, Fabric London and Space in Miami and it's not hard to see why Calosso has become such a hot favourite.  Calosso has achieved a huge amount for such a young artist, but his hunger remains. He is as keen as ever to learn new instruments, pick up new skills and to continue to challenge himself on a daily basis. That means you can always expect a steady stream of new music, but also his own brand new label which is sure to be another hard to define but impossible to ignore platform that continues to keep Calosso at the top of his game.
