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 Kokon To Zai on Greek Street 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 DJs to have the honour of playing every time slot in both the Main Room & Lite Lounge at Trade during his residency at Turnmills.

Outside of nightlife, Rosco has composed music for several fashion shows and has ambitions to score music for feature films.

It took a village. 

Hailing from a small village on the Isle of Wight, England & growing up in the 1990’s surrounded by the illegal rave culture at the time of farms, fields & forests, Danny fostered his passion and search for music, subculture & unconventional people. Ranging from the heavily straight world of jungle, breaks & drum & bass to the gay hedonism of progressive house in the 90’s to the posing queer electroclash scene & fashion world of Central Saint Martins in the 2000’s. Since moving to London in 1999 he then took a fateful trip to New York City in 2012, he never left. 

Danny Clobber, also known as A Village Raid, Donnatella, Stella is a key figure in the NYC underground & DIY queer nightlife scene, particularly known for his crucial role & involvement in The Spectrum & The Dreamhouse. As a cultural curator, nightlife promoter and DJ, Clobber played a significant role in shaping the vibrant prism and radically inclusive energy of The Spectrum & later The Dreamhouse. He helped forge new unregulated ways to be together & provide a refuge for queer, trans & POC communities from mainstream nightlife & a hostile political landscape. 

His contributions helped make The Spectrum/Dreamhouse an iconic part of Brooklyn’s queer underground scene in the 2010’s.

Clobber’s work has extended beyond nightlife with multiple releases, working in film, theatre & advertising & composing for the likes of Diesel to Disney, Vivienne Westwood to Wedgewood. He continues to create a world of music & film encompassing a life lived as a cultural magpie and global nomad.
