Congorock
Rocco Rampino (born 4 July 1983, in Lecce), better known as Congorock, is an Italian producer and DJ, best known for his song "Babylon,” released in 2010.
In 2012, Congorock joined Rihanna on her 777 Tour.
The song "Sirius" with Alle Benassi was included on the soundtrack for the 2012 film Chronicle by Josh Trank.
In 2007 when moving to Los Angeles in the United States he began working with The Bloody Beetroots' Bob Rifo (also from Italy). The two began working together and eventually released their debut single at the same time, as a collaboration between the two. The song was called "Rombo" and featured on The Bloody Beetroots debut EP of the same name. The Rombo EP featured 5 songs. Congorock once stated in an interview on "The Bloody Beetroots Gazette" that he was Crookers #1 Fan, he was also influenced by the Basement Jaxx album Rooty.
In 2010 Rampino joined with Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, Steve Aoki and Scott Cogo to form the dance-punk band Rifoki. They released one EP named Sperm Donor in winter 2010. The song "Zombie Attack" featuring vocals from punk band Refused along with Bob Rifo's own vocals. "Zombie Attack" was successful enough to be included on the 2010 edition of I Love Techno mixed by Aoki. Also it was included on the Dim Mak compilation Dim Mak Hardcore (Punk) Vault. Rifoki is heavily influenced by rock and metal but it has a dance beat. Rampino plays guitars in the band, Rifo provides vocals and mixdowns along with mixdowns and DJing by Aoki and Cogo.
On the Travis Barker song "Misfits" with Steve Aoki from his album Give the Drummer Some the collaboration between Barker and Aoki counts them both as featured artists. But on the writing credits it states it is written by Rocco Rampino, Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, Steve Aoki, Scott Cogo and Travis Barker. This makes the song produced by Rifoki as Sir Bob provides vocals and Congorock plays guitars while Steve Aoki and Scott Cogo DJ the track with Travis Barker's drumming.
Congorock eventually released his own EP, Runark, on 17 March 2009. It featured five songs: "Runark", "Runark (Joker of the Scene Remix)", "Exodus", "Hybro" and "Runark (His Majesty Andre Remix)". After Runark, Congorock collaborated with fellow Italian dance-punk duo Blatta & Inesha, they produced Stepoff!/People.
Also in 2008; Congorock collaborated with fellow Italian dance-punk duo Crookers to produce the song "Sbombers" (sometimes written as Sbomberz, S-Bombers or S Bombers). He remixed the song "Bite Your Lip" by Blatta & Inesha and another song "Bubblicious" by electronic artist Rex the Dog.
