******************************************

The Roustabouts are a collaboration between two distinguished creative forces, whose dexterous digits have delved into a deluge of diverse delicacies (or pies, if you will). 

These devilish dandies share a penchant for the decadent and diasporic, spinning sounds from bygone eras and exotic lands, all served up with a delightful modern twist.

Their assault on your senses is only elevated by their extravagant theatrical nature, mixing props and costume in dramatic fashion. 

The duo's eclectic collection includes, but is not limited to, balkan beats, electro swing, classic and modern cabaret and even the odd grin inducing mash-up. Their assortment of awesome audio oddities is diverse enough to not only compliment, but become the catalyst to an unforgettable event. 

You might have caught sight of members of The Roustabouts carrying out their carnivalesque craft at some of the most prolific cabaret and burlesque events in London, including The Box, The Boom Boom Club, Torture Garden, Circus, White Mischief, Gypsy Hotel, The Tassel Club and Bestival.

Underground sounds since 1996.

In a career spanning over 20+ years Rosco has played his vinyl across the globe in London, Paris, Ibiza, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo, Cuba, Antigua, Ireland & Japan since he started working in music at the avant-garde fashion & vinyl emporium Kokon To Zai in Soho, London.

Barely legal, aged 18, Rosco made his debut for the legendary, techno pioneering clubland institution Trade and had the honour of being resident DJ for two decades whilst hosting the popular Trade Experience Radio Show on Ministry of Sound Radio. 

As well as being recently featured on Carl Cox’s Global Podcast, Rosco performed on the BBC Radio 1 Stage for London Mardi Gras and has completed mixes for London’s Kiss FM.

Rosco is one of the only Trade Resident DJs to have the honour of playing every time slot in both the Main Room & Lite Lounge at Trade during his residency at Turnmills.

Internationally, Club O/D Japan hosted a three city event & a 5hr one off evening dedicated to Rosco’s sound across a total of six nationwide tours.

To celebrate the magnificent Trade 30th Birthday, Rosco played a continuous live 12hr DJ set on vinyl discs, recorded in one take on video.

With most of the 2 part mixes, the first part gets twice as many listens as the second part. I know that usually, the second part is actually better so seriously, look for it and have a listen, cheers, Mark
