TES LA ROK

Tes La Rok is a Dubstep DJ & music producer from Helsinki, Finland. He was one of the first international producers outside of England to make a mark in the international Dubstep scene. Tes has been featured on a variety of respected compilations such as Steppas Delight on Soul Jazz Records, Dubstep Allstars 5 on Tempa, Mary-Anne Hobbs "Evangeline" on Planet Mu and Mixmag 25 years anniversary mix (mixed by Laurent Garnier). He is also the man behind record label 'Noppa Recordings'.

For the past decade Tes La Rok has been one of the pioneers in Helsinki underground music culture by holding various raves such as 'Slam It', 'Soulfuel', 'Back 2 Bass' & 'Sub'.
His first ever release was on respected "Audio Couture" (sister label of Moving Shadow) label back in 1998 - under Dice moniker with his partner in crime Dharma1. Shortly after Dharma1 introduced Tes to UK garage & Broken-beat.

Tes La Rok released Uncle Sams "Around The World Girls remix" in 2007 and it immediately received anthem status and was later selected as the best Dubstep tune of 2007(alongside Mala's Lean Forward) on Dubstepforum awards. Tes La Rok is one to watch - he is leading the way into the future of dubstep music with his enthusiasm and hard work.

He has frequent DJ appearances in the UK at clubs such as DMZ, FWD, SUBDUB, PLATFORM 1. Along with his regular UK shows Tes La Rok has also played at all the big raves in Germany, USA, Netherlands, Belgium, , Portugal and Croatia to name a few.

If you like high-pitched, ‘refined’ sort of dubstep and sleazy basslines, you’ll enjoy Tes la Rok. And if you’d like to tell people you listen to foreign dubstep artists this will get you bonus points. Where to start off? By listening to Gunshot and Lickshot (which got featured on N-Type’s ‘Dubstep Allstars Vol. 5‘ as well).

Christchurch hold tight !
