| About Chad Rock |
|
Since beginning his DJ career at the age of 18, Chad Rock knows that without the influence and inspiration of the B-Boy’s and landmark icon’s that came before him like Afrika Bambaata, Beastie Boys, The Freestylers, DJ Dan, Propellerheads, Plump DJ’s, Stanton Warriors, and Oscure, he wouldn’t be shit. Music is the medium he uses to speak to the world and keep its people rocking. His only hope is to connect, have fun and help feed societies need for what’s next. Chad Rock’s US gigs include Los Angeles, San Francisco, NYC, Miami (WMC 2001 and 2005), Baltimore, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Austin, Phoenix and Tucson. He went on tours in Cancun, Mexico in 1999, the 2000 LABA Tour in Puerto Rico, and Europe in Summer 2005. In 2003-04, he studied, traveled and rocked the decks in Europe, making the most of his opportunity to play for an international audience. Two of his CD’s were broadcast for a global audience by Nova Radio in Germany, where his seventh CD, Funk Rock 04, won Mix of the Month, voted on by listeners worldwide. In July 2004, he headlined the Sound of Sunshine Festival in Saarbrucken, Germany and played with artists representing 5 countries from around the world. In July 2004, he spun at Bar Vinyl/Vinyl Addiction, HOME OF FINGER LICKIN RECORDS, in Camden, London. Other European gigs in 2004 include St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin and Munich, Germany. In the summer of 2005, Chad Rock went back to Europe on tour up with another stop at Bar Vinyl in London, four gigs in Germany with his European crew, Soulful Studios, and ended his tour with a sick-ass set at Zentraus in Barcelona, Spain. Chad Rock then capped off a very busy 2005 by playing a few sets at Burning Man with the LABA and Space Island. In 2006, he went for second run in Black Rock City: sailing on the Space Wench, residing and dropping the funk nightly at Mekka, chilling with the Space Cowboys, burning on the Purgatory Cruiser, chasing The Do Labs flower, and spinning at the Temple of Breaks. In 2007, Mr. Rock started with a banging New Years set at his residency, the World Famous Space Island, became a resident at Megaton, and took over the Breakbeat purchasing job at the L.A. landmark, Grooveriders. 2007 gigs included SXSW in Austin with DJ Manny and Bassnectar, San Francisco, Burning Man w/ residencies, Temple of Breaks and Cameltopia, Bazaar w/ the Glitch Mob in Hollywood, and LA Decom @ Space Island. He also released two new mixes: “For Those About to Rock” and “LA is Dirty”. 2008 was great for the Rocka. He began the year on tour in Reno and Lake Tahoe, opened for Future Funk Squad @ Monday Social, released his best mix ever, Welcome to Planet RawK (available for download at LABA Podcast on ITunes) in April 08, opened the Coachella Music Festival one week later for amazing acts like Prince, Roger Waters, Kraftwerk, Fatboy Slim and Justice, and went for a second spin @ Monday Social opening for Lee Coombs in May. He went on to kill the decks @ Lightning in a Bottle with Stanton Warriors and Adam Freeland in May 08, played an awesome set at the Temple of Breaks at Burning Man 08, went back to Tahoe for Halloween, celebrated with best Mates Oscure and J Funk at their crew's (LABA) 12 Year Anniversary @ Bazaar, and finished the year w/ friends, Create Fixate at their 7 year "Lucky Seven" Anniversary. His 13th CD, to be named later, is due out June 09. Look For it! Since entering the game in 1997, Chad Rock has not stopped dropping the funk. He has played in almost every major venue in Los Angeles from Giant, Spundae, and the House of Blues Foundation Room to Avalon, the Vanguard, and Century Club, where in April 2006 he opened for 2 Live Crew. His style is self categorized “Funk Rock”: A next generation hybrid of booty shakin’ funk blended with warehouse rockin’ breakbeats. Being one of the first privileged individuals to rock the LABA label and represent what is true today, he knows what’s up. With bags packed with skills and a mind filled with devotion, he is definitely one to watch in the days to come.
