Rockets Biography

Rockets is the musical brainchild of Fred Oliveira, a designer and programmer (working with companies like Adobe, MTV and Google) by day. A member of Discotexas, a label and collective known for an unabashed love of fun and fruit (not necessarily in this order), he's known for producing tracks that range from the likes of filtered disco house to italo-disco and electronica. He is frequently playlisted by the likes of A-Trak, Armand Van Helden, Treasure Fingers, Miami Horror, Gloves, Patrick Alavi among other hot djs and producers from both old and new music scenes.

Fred has already shared the booth with artists like Alan Braxe, In Flagranti and A-Trak, and often tag-teams with Xinobi and Moulinex (also out of Discotexas) to lighten up summer festivals and club floors. With releases coming out on Discotexas, RoXour (Patrick Alavi's label) and another gigantic label that for now shall remain nameless, 2010 will be a huge year for Rockets. Keep an eye out.
