Rocco Rampino (born 1983 in Lecce), better known as Congorock, is an Italian electro, house and dance-punk producer who found fame with his song "Babylon" in 2010. In 2012 Congorock toured with Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna on her "777 Tour", at around about the same time there is a Congorock remix of the Rihanna song Diamonds which made Congorock heard to Rihanna. The song "Sirius" with Alle Benassi was included on the soundtrack to Chronicle by Josh Tank. Congorock is managed by Three Six Zero Group. ==Musical career== In 2007 when moving to Los Angeles in the United States he began working with Bob "Bloody Beetroots" 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/album 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 Steve Aoki. Also it was included on the Dim Mak compitaltion "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, Bob Rifo provides vocals and mixdowns along with mixdowns and DJ'ing by Steve Aoki and Scott Cogo. On the Travis Barker song "Misfits" with Steve Aoki on 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Congorock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
