BIOGRAPHY
As the founder of two of dance music's best-known record labels, Rob Di Stefano is the man responsible for some of 90's House Music's most important artists and songs. In 1991, he created the independent labels TRIBAL America / TRIBAL United Kingdom Records. Within five years, TRIBAL grew to be the genre's most respected underground imprint. As label president / head of A&R (and as U.S. managing director of William Orbit's Guerilla Records, distributed by Tribal in the U.S.), Di Stefano found and developed many of the biggest names in contemporary dance music. Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, Junior Vasquez, Murk, Underground Sound of Lisbon and others began their careers with Di Stefano or watched them grow under his guidance and direction.
While TWISTED continues to grow, so does Di Stefano's DJ career, which unofficially began at university in the late 1980's and takes another big step with his mix-CD Yorn Sound System for EMI-Portugal, in association with Vodafone Portugal and national TV channel SIC Radical. As a DJ, he combines a dark house sound with a skilled A&R ear to successfully promote his record labels and artists. "TWISTED's imaging is most important to me. As a DJ, I consider a successful night one in which the crowd leaves with TWISTED on their minds -- the logo, the music, the image."
Rob has traveled throughout Europe and North America, and has played alongside some of the world's best-known jocks: Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Cevin Fisher, Danny Howells, Jori Hulkkonen, Tom Stephan, Phil Perry, DJ Vibe, DJ Pierre, Angel Moraes, Jaydee, Peter Rauhofer, Jim Masters, Tony Humphries, Salt City Orchestra, The Murk Boys, Deep Dish, Ashley Beedle and many others in some of the world's most prestigious clubs (Twilo NYC, Ministry of Sound London, Lux Lisbon).
Di Stefano's discoveries continue to enjoy lasting success and exposure.
Now-familiar names like Tenaglia, Murk, Deep Dish, Rui da Silva, Celeda, Suzanne Palmer, Superchumbo, DJ Vibe and Peter Rauhofer.
With his TWISTED label in full operation, and a hectic tour schedule, Di Stefano have been having a very busy 2005 with new music from: Tom, Vibe, Redline Project, Alex Conter, Greg O, and many more.
