Congorock — Electro House & Fidget House DJCongorock
Congorock is the performing name of Italian DJ and producer Rocco Rampino, who moved from Lecce through Milan before settling in Los Angeles to build his club career. Rampino has billed himself as a DJ Producer throughout his career, playing out alongside artists such as David Guetta, Steve Aoki and Crookers on the electro house circuit that took shape around his 2009 debut EP, Runark, released on Fools Gold Records.
His breakout single Babylon, released in 2010, became a mainstay of DJ sets across the fidget house scene he shared with fellow Italian producers the Bloody Beetroots and Gigi Barocco, and his subsequent signing to Ultra Music saw him touring in support of his 2012 Ivory EP. Congorock's remix of Rihanna's Diamonds led to a touring slot on her 777 Tour that year, placing him on arena stages alongside a global pop act rather than only club bookings.
He also briefly formed the dance-punk band Rifoki with Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, Steve Aoki and Scott Cogo in 2010, an offshoot from his main DJ identity. Managed by Three Six Zero Group, Congorock has continued to combine touring DJ dates with production and remix work, most recently reworking Clockwork's Titan.
