Roska

Biography

Wayne Goodlitt aka Roska, a producer, remixer and DJ, known for his skippy drum patterns and
fun sounding club music over the past 16 years has seen his music take him places and
countries he thought he’d never see from working in the Europe, USA, and across Asia. Roska
has earmarked himself as one of the UK’s most accomplished underground exponents.

Since the initial boom of underground electronic music in the UK, Roska has been one of the
UK’s leading niche authorities, both as a producer and DJ, but also as a mentor and label
owner, watching over the scene and constantly unveiling new talent for all of us to enjoy.

Roska’s production style has varied over the years, between stripped back, percussion-driven
rollers to more club-influenced vocal creations, all of which will always pack a tremendously
recognizable rhythmic punch, gaining support around the UK and also abroad, with
international music hubs such as the USA & Asia showing love to the UK legend.
Alongside this, Roska has managed to stay very much with the times within his production
arsenal, slowly stripping his style through the reprisal of the Bakongo alias to cover more
techno and tribal house influenced creations, whilst also slowly moving into the realms of
dancehall production with some extremely original ideas and production techniques, in case
that wasn’t enough! Sonic innovators will always be hailed for their musical contributions in the UK, especially those who are seen as being within the founding father range of a genre’s history. Roska is without a doubt one of the UK artists falling into that legendary bracket, with no intention of slowing down any time soon.
