One of the world's top music producers – and a football fan to boot – Rollo is, quite literally, playing a key role in the UEFA EURO 2008™ experience.
Impressive CV
Rollo, whose CV includes a host of top-class productions and remixes, has added the official UEFA EURO 2008™ music to a list of credits that makes for extremely impressive reading. The official UEFA EURO 2008™ music has been developed to support a wide range of broadcast and event promotions surrounding the tournament in Austria and Switzerland between 7 and 29 June next year.
London roots
London-born Rollo – an Arsenal FC supporter – has been a vastly-respected presence in the music world for a number of years now. In 1992 he made his first record; Felix's "Don't U Want Me". It was created in a garden shed in Islington, London, and went on to sell 2.5 million copies.
Sought-after pairing
Four years later, Rollo teamed up with Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz to form Faithless: "Insomnia", "Salva Mea", "God is a DJ" and "We Come One" followed. Rollo and Sister Bliss also became one of the most sought-after remix teams in the world, working with the likes of U2, Björk, Robbie Williams, Suede, Donna Summer, Paul van Dyk, Roxy Music and Simply Red. Faithless have made six albums and sold over 12 million records while Rollo has also produced and co-written with his sister Dido, whose albums are among the biggest-selling in the new millennium.
'Extra dimension'
The music features a wide range of broadcast and event edits in both Stereo and Dolby 5.1 surround sound. "Given the heavy rotation of airplay and stadium use, it is always preferable to have a wide variety of edits to add an extra dimension to the sonic brand," says UEFA's brand manager Dan O'Toole. "As the filming and broadcast of the finals will be available in HD, the music has also been specially mixed with a complete Dolby E surround sound, to accompany the high-definition match action and fan imagery."
