Cesare Ferioli aka Big Mojo, drummer with firm rock’n’roll roots, member of various punk/new wave bands in the 80’s and with an album out, ‘Stay Out Of Jail’, produced by Steve Berlin from Los Lobos. In the 90’s he got involved with rock blues band Dirty Hands, but also worked with several other acts like Andy J. Forest and Sciacalli. Since 1997 he’s been busier as DJ and composer, concentrating on his own solo project influenced by blues, jazz, funk and electronics. His debut solo album under the name of Big Mojo, ‘Ready Made’, takes him into ‘blacktronic’ territories, where he manages to merge his rock/blues/soul/funk background with electronic rhythms like House, Techno and Downtempo. Other musicians on the album include Max Ferrauto, appreciated international blues singer; Claudio Falcone and Marcus Pepper III, singer and organ player with Blue Eyed Soul Team (B.E.S.T.), well known among the mod/northern soul community; Ricardo Phillips, lead singer of hip hop reggae act Amsterdam Street Knowledge; Marco Gisfredi, one of the most famous Italian blues guitarists. ‘Ready Made’ is produced by Ohm Guru and Ninfa for One Eyed Fish and includes a remix by DJ Rodriguez, legendary DJ/producer who died in 2006, old friend and colleague of Big Mojo.
