LOCO DICE :: BIOGRAPHY



The year is 1992 and Loco Dice is in his adopted home of Dusseldorf. Hip Hop controls his life. This is the precise starting point of his career. Under the pseudonym Dice'C he starts touring as rapper and UrbanDJ appearing at the most important clubs in the world. Within a matter of a couple of years he is one of the few German Urban Headline acts opening for Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Jamiroquai and Usher all over Germany. In 1994 he releases his first self produced Hip Hop piece and also sidelines from his ever growing profile and starts branching out into promoting and planning Urban events and HipHop areas at Electronica festivals where he begins to make good friends in the house and techno scene.

He begins to be present at more and more house parties and clubs and begins to realise that this new form of music offers him more creative opportunities as a DJ, wowed as he is by the crowd response to the tracks that are dropped. So it begins at "La Rocca" where he starts playing house and within a very short space of time it 's impossible to imagine Duesseldorf's vibrant party scene without him. Within a year he's playing at Tribehouse and this sets the ball rolling that will transform him into a global player. After numerous German appearances, several American tours (North and South), Gigs in the UK, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Dice moved into the studio.

Loco Dice's own definition of House Music is "deep, groovy, chunky, driving, Music for the Terrace”. Dice really loves the smaller clubs and the Terrace bars under an open sky and this is borne out at both his residencies at DC-10 and Tribehouse. It was at Tribehouse that he was spotted and he signs to Bristol’s 4:20 imprint and
together with Martin Buttrich and vocalist Phil Barnes they create their first Club smash "Phat Dope Shit". This is swiftly followed by remixes of "Help Me" by Timo Maas and "Toscana" by Mousse T initially just a compilation track but due to massive interest now a full single release quickly followed by City Lights/ Dynamite Love (4:20).

Last year saw him deliver 2 of his own mix compilations, as well as a new single "Cellar Door". At the end of 2004 Loco Dice is signed to Josh Winks label Ovum Records. Following the success of "Menina Brasileira"on Ovum a follow up isn’t far behind. Cocoon also got in on the act with "Cathargo/Sorted" and the biggest track of 2006 "Seeing through Shadows" on Richie Hawtin's Minus and one on the imprint Rebel One under the pseudonym Latex/Porcupine pretty much tipped his profile over the edge.

On the remix front Dice and studio partner Martin Buttrich have been very busy there have been remixes of Layo & Buschwacka as well as their interpretation of Warren G feat. Snoop Dog, BReal & Ice Cube’s new outing on Peppermint Jam, the Kevin Saunderson classic “Bassline”. Next on the cards sees him move from Duesseldorf into new York where he intends to hang out and search for inspiration for his first album project.
