| Loco Dice |
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
Urban DJ 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 Hip Hop 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
recognize 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. Within a year he's
playing at Tribehouse and this sets the ball rolling that will transform him
into a global player.

Loco Dice's own definition of House Music is 'deep, groovy, chunky, driving,
123 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 by producer and DJ
Timo Maas, and as a fan and a friend he signs Dice to his 4:20 imprint and
together with Martin Buttrich and vocalist Phil Barnes they create their first
Clubsmash 'Phat Dope Shit.'
