Ross Allen

Casual Records, London

Back in the mid-'80s, Ross Allen began to get properly schooled in music. Homework came down the airwaves - the funk, hip hop and early electronics broadcasts of a local station in Kent, just South East of London. Next Ross stepped up to DJing at house clubs, and got his foot in the door when he began writing for UK magazine Straight No Chaser. From there it was a shoe in to A&R at Island Records, Ninja Tune and presenting shows on Radio One and BBC London Live. A couple of years ago he kick-started an independent label called Casual. From country to space-funk, Ross says you should stay on your toes and make sure no music passes under your radar.
