The superb Tocadisco first came to most people’s attentions during the electro house vogue several years back, with his huge remix of The Egg’s Walking Away – which was subsequently bastardised by one David Guetta.

Luckily he showed he was far from a one-trick pony, slowly but surely carving out a name for himself as one of the best electro/techno DJs and producers going. He’s a huge deal in Europe, while his profile continues to rise on these shores.

He has just performed his Radio 1 Essential Mix and you can listen to it here.
