About Me |

| SLOK, a musician and dj from Ancona (Italy) who started his career with productions as forerunner of the italian's breakbeat, Jungle & drum n bass, slightly change his style to electronic sounds. He already released on IRMA, SAW, GET PHYSICAL, ACUTE, STEREONOVA, 4KENZO, TURBO and sure on is own ELECTRONIC PETZ PLEASE SEND YOUR PROMOS HERE SLOK@SLOK.IT LISTEN TO MY DJ SET BY THIS PODCAST PLAYER FULL BIOGRAPHY SLOK Alessandro Russo a.k.a. "Slok" was born in Ancona, Italy, Libra / Scorpio cuspid, left handed, his love for music was developed in his childhood, listening to any kind of records, playing acoustic and electronic instruments with his "musical" family members and growing up with a polyedric and free music feeling. He started off playing drums and percussion in a rock band, then, when he was 16, he got his first 4-track Fostex home tape recorder, a digital effect processor, a drum machine, a sampler and a Roland 8-track midi workstation; with that equipment, he begin to produce funky orientend grooves combined with self-taught chords and harmonies. The first official release came later, in 1993 as B&R - Freeway (a house track that Dave Piccioni called out as a "medley") on The Milkyway EP - Zippy Record / Azuli compilation with tracks from Terry Hunter & Aaron Smith, Jovonn, and Brown Melody. In 1994 he was involved in an Italian Hip Hop project named Razzarap with Claudio Cecchetto (Marton/Sony Music Italy) as a composer, producer and vocalist. It was around that period that the first Jungle tunes came from the UK and he immediately fell in love with that sincopate rhythm mixed up with ragga vocals and fat basslines; this provided the insipiration to release his first release as Slok in 1996, 'Jungle In My Home' EP - (Cuadra/IRMA records), followed up by the album 'They Call It Jungle (1997), the first ever Italian Drum'n'Bass cd, where he experimented with various elements, from jazzy atmosphere to raw funk, walking on brazilian textures painted with Sci-Fi effects. The opera was well accepted by critics and this was accompanied with a good media response, with several of the tunes featuring in various compilations. Then came the d'n'b remixes for other artists such as The Average White Band, Sarah Jane Morris and Montefiori Cocktail. Meanwhile, Alessandro started Djing in Italy with Jungle/Drum 'n' Bass and Break Beat DJ sets. In 1999 he flew to London and lived there for several months, jamming and recording (with Goldie keyboardist Justina Curtis from Metalheadz) the formed the basis for what later would become his second Slok album: Freak 2000 (IRMA records 1999). With this release he attempted to join roots and styles, with rock and techno beats, reggae echoes and all the vibes that wrap you in living in "The City"; after that, he performed on the international stage, playing at Batofar club in Paris and at the Transmusical Festival, Rennes. Encouraged by the availability of low-cost technology and the increasing amount of quality production software, Alessandro siezed the chance to build-up a home studio, locked in, and focus on the quality of his features. In 2002, the "Stereonova" project saw the light and it have received support from most of the world's biggest tech progressive-oriented and started to release records for the UK label Plastic Fantastic. Alessandro meet and became friend with Eric Pasquereau, a young and talented singer-songwriter from Nantes, France; Eric, a.k.a. "The Patriotic Sunday", is 22, and after growing up in the US and playing in an indie-rock band influenced by Sonic Youth and Fugazi, he'll release his first album on the 16th of march for the Collectif Effervescence label Lay Your Soul Bare, a collection of 11 self-penned songs. Together, they created two songs, the club hit 'Lonely Child' and 'Hey Steve', composed during Eric's Italy study trip; those were both born as a testimony of their friendship and love for music! From April 2006 his own Electronic Petz label is active - www.electronicpetz.com with some nice releases. Actually Alessandro are co-produced the best Syndication FM Radio show in Italy called MAGMA - www.magmaweb.it aired on 43 Italian Radio Stations FM. He have turned the world as dj on France, Russia, Canada, Croatia, Portugal, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Hungary and of course he’s well-know in his native Italy.
