| | Cut La Roc La Roc Rocs CD - Import Cut La Roc Discography of CDs
World renown vagabond DJ Cut La Roc's first release, "LA ROC ROCS," featuring a host of guests and seamless mixing. 2000, Chinese import.
Taking off with an intro that is equal part John Carpenter's theme to Halloween and Primal Scream's "Kill All Hippies," yet finalizing it all with a creepy buildup of dubbed-out, jumbo synths, Cut La Roc's La Roc Rocs is a jittery smash of big beat records and eclectic, celebratory shakes that is as impressive as it is a mess. You know that Cut La Roc is no clueless bedroom studio nerd -- accomplishing the world record of simultaneously DJing with nine turntables -- but can he pull off an entire album? Certainly there are slow-roasted hip-hop ("Can U Feel") and Sugarhill Gang-sampling big beat garage (the previously four-year-old "Hip Hop Bibbedy Bop") that exude with booty-shaking head music. There are also songs collaborating with Jeepster's we're-not-as-twee-as-you'd-think Snow Patrol that is about as atypical of an indie-dance crossover as you can imagine. If anything, the album sounds great in this modular fashion. The instant you try to take it all in as a whole, however, it tends to fall apart. There is no overriding pace or mood to the album other than sliced and diced individual tracks. Even when the album takes off into the huge trance/house crossover hit of the title track, you're left in the dust of a puzzled -- seemingly slapdash -- pile of failed buildups and thematic fuzziness. In the early days of dance eclecticism, this might have been acceptable, but by now dance albums should do more than just collect a musician's favorite tracks. ~ Dean Carlson

Piano was Beledo's first instrument, however, he became a guitar hero in his late teenage years captivating audiences in Uruguay and Argentina.. Later on, his fusion effort of the early eighties in South America was noticed in the U.S. in articles for the upcoming talents in GUITAR PLAYER magazine and JAZZIZ magazine. Recently in the US, he participated in Manolo Badrena's percussion instructional video explaining the different voices of the Afro-Uruguayan rhythm called Candombe, and performing a candombe fusion song on guitar with Manolo on percussion. Beledo was the musical director of THE UPSIDE DOWN BOY, with music composed by CRISTIAN AMIGO. This musical was the 2004 production of the New York theatre and arts education and organization MAKING BOOKS SING. In his las visit to MONTEVIDEO Beledo gave a master class at the UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC offering his perspective of harmony, composition, and improvisation to classical music students. In 2001 BELEDO performed a series of concerts that included: guest soloist of the LANDES JUGEND JAZZ ORCHESTER HESSEN from Germany at the Jazz Tour 2001 in Montevideo and opening act for MARCUS MILLER BAND. This time BELEDO went back to his home town of Minas, Uruguay where he performed an unforgettable solo concert at the Club Minas' Concert Hall. In 1997 BELEDO went to Uruguay to perform a concert presenting the album LEJANAS SERRANIAS at the Theatre of the National Library. This is a World-Jazz acoustic work that incorporates classic Uruguayan musical forms such as triste, milonga, chimarrita, and candombe rhythms, as well as Spanish flamenco styles. Here in the U.S., he is the guitar player on the album FORWARD ...
