Revelations Per Minute, 60 seconds with @itsrosiefromtheblock Each week we will be taking a dip into the crates and minds of some of the digging scenes most prolific collectors. Swipe to view 👉👉👉 “I’m Roselien Tobbackx, also known as Rosie from the Block. I’m a music producer, songwriter and DJ and I also teach Dutch to a very diverse range of adults which is inspiring." Whilst her Roselien moniker has been rushing through the London jazz, soul and rnb scene by various live shows downtown and her monthly "La Vie En Rose" radio show on Totally Wired Radio in the east side of town, her newest project Rosie From The Block came out of the blue on Antwerp based imprint ‘Vice City’ with refreshing but sharp broken beats, soulful and gospel like vocals along with a strong message and a soft touch of herself. Steadily catching attention and support from big names worldwide such as Reggie Watts, IG Culture and Lefto, a remix done by Broken Beat's leading artist Kaidi Tatham and done support shows for Gregory Porter, Meshel Ndegeocello, The Jones Girls, Bilal and Gabriel Garzon Montano, Roselien is at least Belgium's hardest working girl within her niche. As Roselien, her vocals were always the leading factor in her music, but Rosie From The Block shows her tougher side within by giving the full attention to her instrumentals and adding lyrics in function of her jams. After the Vice City release she got approached by Bristol based forward thinking electronic imprint ‘Phuture Shock Musik’. Within a couple of months she released a new EP in August 2022 that received solid support in from Laani, Sean McCabe, Red Rack’em, Erica McKoy and Leopold to name a few. This led to a UK tour in September: Rosie shared her skills, vibes and energy on the decks and on the mic in London, Brighton and Bristol.

Revelations Per Minute, 60 seconds with @tonijgrehan Each week we will be taking a dip into the crates and minds of some of the digging scenes most prolific collectors. Swipe to view 👉👉👉 “I was born in Milton Keynes and moved to Birmingham at 19 and never moved back. The city is close to my heart, most of my childhood memories are of travelling up to Birmingham to see extended family, attending family parties. They were obsessed with Motown and Disco and this was always played all night long! I got in to music teaching to start with. I eventually quit and pursued a career in DJing and as a music project manager for B:Music. Writing music projects for communities in most need of music provision. My most recent project was one of my proudest; Teaching DJing skills to young females and non-binary students in secondary school, leading up to a live gig involving all of the students from the course. My journey in to DJing really began once I joined Selextorhood, which is is a community of Female and Non Binary DJs and producers. Our mission is to ensure female and non binary DJs are fully represented equally in all venues and festivals. We support the community by providing a safe space at B:Music (The Symphony Hall, Birmingham) to practise their DJing skills, as well as providing  DJing workshops for the community. I am a resident DJ for Leftfoot in Birmingham. Leftfoot have been the go to promoters for forward thinking music, covering everything from Balearic, Dub, Disco, House techno and beyond for two decades."
