 Michael Pasternak
aka
DJ Emperor Rosko (EMP)


... he represent best way '60 and '70 era - beautiful times, 
music and culture revolution, great style among 
all of us worldwide discjockeys of that time
- EMP is kind of real icon deejay of legendary 
pirate radio, BBC Radio and early discotheque  






In the early days of underground radio in the 1960's, Mike Pasternak, a.k.a. DJ Emperor Rosko,was a pioneer in pirate radio in Europe, broadcasting from a boat off the shores of England. He is known as Kaiser Rosko in Germany, "Le President" in France, and "El Presidente" in South America. Throughout Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England he is simply called the Emperor. Other monikers include the Happy Gringo and Senor Loco... and rightfully so as "It's a crazy program. They want the craziest possible show".

In 1964 the BBC still did not permit (Heavens!) Rock 'n' Roll on their radio stations. An enterprising businessman bought an old freighter named "Mi Amigo", outfitted her with an amusing combination of radiophonic toys, and anchored her offshore just beyond the territorial limits of the U.K. "Radio Caroline" aimed their 35,000 watt signal toward London. But the best of Rock 'n' Roll also reverberated thru the sheer power of the unlicensed transmitter to all of Europe for years.

And the most exciting DJ on Radio Caroline was The Emperor Rosko.

Rosko was also well known to his fans on Radio Luxembourg, Radio Monte Carlo, Europe #1, RTB, etc. etc. The BBC finally got the message, and in 1968 formed Radio 1. From then on, Rock 'n' Roll resounded throughout the United Kingdom, and The Emperor had a new home, where He reigned until 1980.

Bio 1

Emperor Rosko Real name Michael Pasternak, he was born on Boxing Day 1942, the son of Hollywood film producer Joe Pasternak. Rosko got his first taste of broadcasting while serving in the US navy and, after leaving the service, took a broadcasting course in San Francisco. He moved to Europe and worked on French radio before joining Radio Caroline South in 1966. He brought with him a personality which combined a number of the gimmicks and techniques he had heard while growing up listening to American Top 40 radio. They might not have all been totally original but they were new to a British audience and he immediately won a large following. He also had a mynah bird, Alfie, who joined him on the air. In 1967 he left Caroline to return to France, where he hosted a hugely successful afternoon show on the French Radio Luxembourg, this time not as an "Emperor" but as "Le President Rosko." He sent over taped shows to Radio One, later joining the station full time. During the seventies he was a major radio star and made hundreds of personal appearances but in 1982 he returned to the States. Since then he has sent over pre-recorded shows for a number of stations including Virgin, Classic Gold and the satellite stations EKR. There are a couple of Rosko web-sites: starcomp.net/rosko and a newer one at EmperorRosko.com Currently Rosko can be heard every weekend on the Classic Gold network. There are some pictures of Rosko on Radio Caroline here. (A proclamation from the Emperor: "You may wish to add that the CD 'Best of the Rosko Show' can be ordered from Amazon. It costs 8 quid-ish. So many fans ask me and I have never known where to send them! Keep up the good work, Emp.")

Bio 2

NAME: Michael Pasternak, also known as Emperor Rosko 
DESCRIPTION: DJ on 1960's pirate station Radio Caroline 
LAST SEEN: Reclaiming the airwaves in Calabasas.

In the U.K. of 1965, hip entrepreneurs got around BBC restrictions mandated by Harold Wilson's Labor government by beaming rock 'n' roll music to the mainland from floating transmitters outside territorial waters.

Great Britain's rock-famished listeners tuned in to Radio Caroline, where Emperor Rosko was the "highly rated, often imitated, but rarely duplicated mayor of mayhem."

"We liberated England", says the former "toe-tapping, hand-clapping, lean, mean record machine" now living a quieter existence Stateside at his ranch in Calabasas, a semi-rural area north of Los Angeles. There, Emperor Rosko is known by his given name, Michael Pasternak.

Pasternak/Rosko spun the sounds of Motown and Stax, the Moody Blues, the Kinks, Stones and Beatles from a 200-foot rust-bucket freighter anchored four hours offshore. Beginning at Radio Caroline and going on to Radio One, Emperor Rosko was the toast of Swinging London. He was also the first in Europe to take records on the road with lighting and invented the mobile DJ business.



Most who only knew the voice believed the jive-talking DJ ("I'm rough, tough and hard to bluff") was black. In fact, the young white man behind the voice of pirate radio was a product of Hollywood. He was the rebellious son of producer Joe Pasternak, the man who made "Destroy Rides Again" with Marlene Dietrich, and "Spinout" with Elvis Presley.

"I didn't like the movie business, "Pasternak says now, "maybe because I grew up with it"

Today, the Beverly Hills industry kid who grew up with Cyd Charisse, Elvis, and Mario Lanza lounging by the backyard pool has his own recording studio, where he puts together 40 weekly hours of radio shows for 15 radio stations in the U.K. and others in Europe. he also runs his own party DJ business, and has been known to spin discs for windings from ABU Dhabi to Hollywood.

But he acknowledges things are tame now compared to when he used to bob about on the high seas beneath a 50,000 watt transmitter for two weeks at a stretch and buzz around London on hi Norton 750 during shore leave with a "bird" hanging on.

Pasternak was notorious for throwing records he didn't like through the portholes, even when they were on the label of the record company that owned the boat. He was fired repeatedly for hijinx such as sabotaging a Christian evangelist, who'd bought time on the station, by mixing in the sounds of lovemaking with the religious chorales. Payola was the norm. ("I never played a record I wouldn't have already played", he shrugs.") And even with lookouts stations on the ship, the crew was forever dodging raids by British mobsters looking to muscle in on the outlaw enterprise.

He recently revisited those days, as the guest of honor at Radio Caroline reunion, playing original Emperor Rosko tapes at a stadium appearance broadcast live. The music he spun was once considered cutting-edge, but is now considered Golden Oldies. But that's fine with Emperor Rosko.

"The Stones are still god as far as I'm concerned."
