We Are Rebels! · Loco Dice

Loco Dice was born in Düsseldorf as the son of Tunisian immigrants. The roots of his love for music stem from hearing soul and funk in the kitchen, and holidays with his mother in Tunisia. The streets of Flingern in Düsseldorf and youth clubs were important during the formative years, with a strong influence from hip hop culture – from dancing to Beat Street and Michael Jackson, to rapping in the 90’s and touring with @Icecube & @SnoopDogg. The DJing came later through tireless hours of searching for new music and practicing. In 1998, after several singles, and residencies in the top European hip hop clubs, Loco Dice discovered the world of electronic music and ventures onto a new path from scratch. His first release in the electronic realm was “Phat Dope shit” in 2002. What followed were releases on the top labels in the industry as well as rmx for the likes of Kevin Saunderson, Basement Jaxx, Black Coffee, Nightmares On Wax, Moby, and Disclosure to name a few. That year also involved a brief relocation to Brooklyn where he created his label Desolat. “7 Dunham Place”, his debut album and inaugural release on the new imprint in 2007 encapsulates his time there. Dice’s second album, USS was released in 2016 on Ultra, and featured collaborations with notable artists across the spectrum, including producer Just Blaze, British rapper Giggs and soul icon Neneh Cherry. With His Side Project FKD he creates a connection between his ideal fusion of hip hop and electronic music.
