Dancers, unite! Roger Rabbit’s second round is coming right up and is seeking you. This time we partnered up with ICHIGO to bring you a legend, both in the world of clubbing as well as in dance culture. One of the longest running selectors in Amsterdam, Rob Manga dabbs with being a DJ, producer and musicologist. He became well known in the club scene as (co)founder of parties Legends (Paradiso) and I Love Vinyl (Amsterdam). 

Throughout the years, his career was expanded with residencies at well known venues in Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. He has claimed his reputation as a top club DJ by being capable taking a multi-ethnic, age mixed crowd on a sonic trip through house, techno, disco and funk elements. This unique approach made him desirable for a wide range of places, be it Berghain/Panorama Bar, Club Raum, Bambino Paris, Kater Blau, Lowlands Festival, Milkshake Festival, North Sea Jazz, Kiosk (Brussel) and the list expands to many more. His passion for music and culture continues to motivate him, making him an evergreen force.

From street dance to curating the perfect beats, Grooveek started in 2009 by immersing himself in street dance culture. By 2016, his passion expanded into music production, diving deep into funk and dedicating time to mastering Locking. In 2020, he took his passion a step further, studying music at a university in London. Returning to Romania in 2023, he shifted gears to curate top-tier music for dance competitions and parties, ensuring every beat fuels the energy on the dance floor. His artistic journey is constantly evolving, as every step, sound, and groove adds to the bigger picture.
