When you talk about TROL2000, you have to start off by just how nice this guy is, mainly because that's the genesis for his artistic self. The individual was born in the 70s, but TROL2000, the artist, emerged in 2000. As a DJ, he's a showcase of the good stuff in Funk, Soul, Disco, Techno and House. The story goes that it all started when he dug through his father's record collection - there's nothing like inspiration running in the family -, which gave him enough knowledge to invest in a DJ carreer that's been growing both in visibility and credibility. Proof of that is the growing number of clubs - including Lux or Pitch - who invite him to come and play.
If it matters, he's one of those guys with the musical taste people often crave. You wouldn't hear that from him, though. He's that modest, too.
