Despite the many years that are still ahead of him, Rone (otherwise known as Erwan Castex) has come a very long way and is already one of the most acclaimed young French musicians on the electronic scene. After obtaining his MA, he started working on film shoots in various roles while continuing to make music in his spare time. Eventually his current label 'Infiné', spotted some of his tracks online and decided to get in touch with him.
Over the last 6 years Rone has had great success with his first two albums 'A Spanish Breakfast' (2009) and 'Tohu-Bohu' (2012), which have led him to performing live in the most prestigious venues and festivals from Panorama Bar to Rex Club, Sonar and Dour festival. A feverish calm emerges from Rone's back catalogue, which elegantly and consistently navigates between dreamlike electronica, hypnotic ambient and melodic techno whilst also borrowing rhythmic elements from hip-hop.
While working on 'Tohu-Bohu' Rone also worked closely with illustrator/director Vladimir Mavounia-Kouka. Having already collaborated on the short film “La Femme à Cordes” (for which Rone wrote the music) and the video for “Spanish Breakfast”, the pair teamed up once again here with ‘Vlad’ creating the album’s entire visual identity that showcases Rone's great attention to the visual aspect of his music, details that he also brings to his captivating live sets.
