Wayne Goodlitt pka Roska, a producer, remixerand DJ, known for his skippy drum patterns andfun sounding club music over the past 16years has seen his music take him places andcountries he thought he’d never see from working in the Europe, USA, and across Asia. Roskahas 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 theUK’s leading niche authorities, both as a producer and DJ, but also as a mentor and labelowner, watching over the scene and constantly unveiling new talent for allof us to enjoy.Roska’s production style has varied over the years, between stripped back, percussion-drivenrollers to more club-influenced vocal creations, all of which will always pack a tremendouslyrecognizable rhythmic punch, gaining support aroundthe UK and also abroad, withinternational music hubs such as the USA &Asiashowing love to the UK legend.
Alongside this, Roska has managed to stay very much with the times within his productionarsenal, slowly stripping his style through the reprisal of the Bakongo alias to cover moretechno and tribal house influenced creations, whilst also slowly moving into the realms ofdancehall production with some extremely original ideas and production techniques, in casethat wasn’t enough!
Sonic innovators will always be hailed for their musical contributions in the UK, especiallythose who are seen as being withinthe founding father range of a genre’s history. Roska iswithout a doubt one of the UK artists falling into that legendary bracket, with no intention ofslowing down any time soon.
