Rocco Lino DJ

Rocco Lino, the emerging talent on the British electronic scene, bursts onto the international stage with his explosive debut: "I'm Not Gay", a dance track that fuses pulsating house and hypnotic techno into an explosion of gender-fluid humor and retro jazz references. Based in vibrant Cardiff, Rocco Lino transforms club nights into global parties, where rhythm meets irony and dancing becomes an act of light-hearted rebellion. Rocco Lino - real name Mark Luverush - discovered his passion for music in the underbelly of Cardiff's underground festivals, where he performed as a resident DJ in the city's most eclectic venues. Self-taught with a background in sound engineering from Cardiff University, Lino blends the raw energy of British house with Irish techno touches, laced with samples from '30s and '40s jazz – think Duke Ellington swing remixed into a club beat. "Music has to move your body and your mind," says Rocco Lino. Built on an irresistible base, the track features stellar remixes that elevate its crossover appeal: the uplifting version by Luv Foundation UK infuses a soulful, jazz, inclusive vibe; Stonebridge's groovy take adds a Scandinavian deep house touch; while the remix by Micky Modelle – a club culture legend – pushes it toward futuristic techno with epic drops. The result? An anthem that's already conquered testers in London's and Ibiza's clubs, ready to storm global charts and social media, where the #ImNotGay hashtag is already turning into viral memes.
