Roberta Cutolo is a long-time music lover originally from Bari, Italy, who has lived in London for over 30 years. Deeply immersed in the city's underground music and club scene since the 1990s, she became part of the Dingwalls and Bar Rumba "That’s How It Is" community and the Straight No Chaser magazine family. As a journalist and correspondent for Acid Jazz Magazine and Radio Italia Network, she played a key role in bridging the music cultures of Italy and London.
Her journey expanded further through connections with figures like Tim Lawrence, who introduced her to the influential David Mancuso and the Lucky Cloud Sound System. Roberta’s passion for music as a tool for connection and message-sharing led her to embrace the role of DJ-selector under the name Roberta ReachOut.
She has hosted shows on Totally Wired Radio, Discovery Sardinia’s Open UP, Universal Rhythms Radio, and was part of Worldwide FM in its early days, contributing to key broadcasts including a Grammy-nominated Flora Purim celebration.
Roberta is a beloved presence behind the decks at venues like Café 1001, Spiritland, 180 The Strand, The Standard, and Brilliant Corners, and has performed at top festivals in Italy including Locus and Jazz:Re:Found. Known for her joyful energy, deep digging, and love for playing music with meaning, Roberta continues to inspire with her devotion to sound and community.
