Ive rapidly become a huge fan of Roska over the last few months, insanely impressed by his funky house beats ( His ' TWC ' and ' Elevated Levels ' EPs are a must for anyone liking this sound , both available from Juno ). With so much support gathering, this week sees Roska 's debut at FabricLive's Room 2, this Friday the 30th October, playing alongside Lil Silva , Geeneus , Toddla T and Donaeo , and here's his [...]
Thanks, again, to the Swedes for providing us (Americans) with a fresh look at American culture. Discobelle , our Grindin' Blog Network papa-bear, has just posted a boiling new mix from NYC club-phenom Kingdom . After doing an interview with us way back when he was just a fledgling, it now seems that we've inspired him to become even greater than he already was. Ha. Now a member of Fool's Gold's finest , and with production coming out an Acephale Records , Kingdom is no longer a mere peasant, he is in [...]
Roska - " Hey Cutie " UK Producer Roska is rocking Fabric on the 30th, and let this track leak as a leadup. Nice slice of funky before the weekend. img/christian.witkin

I put Roska's FACT magazine mix on a cd and brought it to work awhile back. I've been playing it steadily for 5 months now, and no one has complained yet. (Because. It's. So. Good.) It gets better each time I hear it. Also, "In Your Handbag" scares off would-be shoplifters. download here (via sendspace) tracklist: 01 Magic Touch - Signed & Sealed 02 Afroganic – Embargo (Wookie Mix) 03 Roska - In Your Handbag 04 DJ Naughty - Cheap Talk 05 DJ Mystery - [...]
nearly ready according to the Wireblock camp. Roska's refix of the title track will have been heard if you frequent funky in clubs or online... I for one have heard it multiple times without knowing it's source, and can now say it's easily one of my favourite things he's done. From the snippets on the Wireblock site, Its clear the rest of the EP is going in the same direction. . the type of music thats outgrown most humans vocabularies. keep eyes open [...]
I made the unfortunate mistake of "remembering" the Macarena the other day and visuals of overweight mothers in fanny packs shaking their hips on the jumbo-tron at a Buffalo Bills game have been haunting me since. Not sure why I decided to kick off this post is such a manner. Maybe I'm beginning to draw some weird parallels between hype hysteria, sequenced dancing, my mom and errrr... funky? I've picked up a few cuts in recent weeks that depart from the rnbvox/conga/123step hyperbole formula and opt for stripped down drum machines, chicago house nods and spacey pads. Check [...]

All I hear is UK Funky This, and UK Funky that but half the time all I really hear is house.. Well thanks to the good ppl at XLR8R I now know of a man named ROSKA, and well I hope you now do too.. ROSKA Here is one of the smoother mix's I have heard in a long time, so nice from front to back, side to side. To be honest, I feel a bit sheepish about admitting I didn't know if him until this [...]
[ Roska Kicks & Snares ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) To put it nicely, garage MC turned funky functionalist Roska isn't exactly what you'd call a home listening guy. While his super-percussive tools work perfectly in the club, they hardly evolve enough to maintain your headphoned attention. Even in their intended environs, a DJ has little reason (aside from track length, which can occasionally push a tedious eight minutes) to choose one Roska track over another; they'e all basically some iteration of the same kicks-and-snares (plus supermassive bass) [...]
unoriginal I know. but see the ' Music I Like ' post below - mentioned this as the best funky set I'd heard in a while - every now and then hints at the true potential. The fantastic four are Roska, Scratcha, D Malice and Ill Blu. and here they go b2b for a long while. MP3: Fantastic Four - 30.05.09 (Rinse Set) seriously. don't sleep on the Claude Von Stroke below either. Listening to the b-side and for the forthcoming long player this could [...]
