Meet roi*, the DJ Whose Raunchy Shaq Sample Got Him Booked at Lost Lands

Somewhere in a French producer’s studio, a track got made with the title ‘My Dick Hit The Mixer,’ and somehow it became one of the more wholesome crossover stories in the dubstep scene this year.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 The producer behind it, who goes by roi*, sampled vocals straight from a live set by DJ Diesel, who you may know as the 7’1″ basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal.
The result is a riddim banger that took Shaq’s own inadvertent crowd hype and turned it into a hook that’s now decimating festival crowds.He loved the track so much that he started playing it in his own DJ sets.
Its momentum snowballed fast enough to land roi* a slot at Rampage Open Air, one of Europe’s premier bass music festivals.He’ll then head to Ohio for his U.S.
debut at Lost Lands, the beloved festival launched by dubstep superstar Excision.Every scene needs a reminder that talent can come out of nowhere, and roi* just delivered one.
A track built around a sampled celebrity ad-lib isn’t groundbreaking but major festivals don’t seem to care, and neither does anyone currently losing their mind to this song in an open field.Sometimes the joke is the genius.
