Artists

Rocky Marsiano is the instrumental side-project of the Portuguese old school producer/MC/DJ D-Mars. "The Pyramid Sessions" is its criticaly highly acclaimed debut album (Loop:Recordings). With a strong jazz influence, "The Pyramid Sessions" represents a fresh and unique view on urban music. With the release of the 2nd album (Outside the Pyramid), D-Mars further explores the musical sides of jazz fusion by adding elements of soul/funk and Brazilian music (his mother was raised in Rio).

The third album "Back To The Pyramid" was produced in Amsterdam where D-Mars is now living. You can catch him work the 1s and 2s at Cafe de Duivel every month. The album was released on vinyl only as a way to show his respect to that format and culture.

DDF is the Lisbon/Amsterdam based collaboration project of D-Mars (old school Portuguese hip-hop producer/DJ/MC) and D_Fine (Dutch producer/vocalist/pianist). The project kicked-off in 2003 with a couple of inspiring studio sessions (B-Boy Love & Let Yourself Go).
Throughout the next three years, splitting the work between Lisbon and Amsterdam, the collaboration has developed into its debut and critically very highly acclaimed Enforce the Funk album, released on Portugals no.1 indie label Loop:Recordings.
Influence wise, the sounds of the DDF are very much inspired by early electronica and electro-funk. Always with a very personal touch, giving it a special twist (Its Like a Jungle Sometimes, Feel It).

As a live project, DDF work both in a DJ-set and a live-set formats, having already performed at top clubs such as Lux (Lisbon) and Sugar Factory (Amsterdam).
