Rrose

Rrose is an enigmatic electronic music producer, composer, and performer from the United States, widely recognized for their innovative approach to techno, experimental, and avant-garde sound. Emerging in the early 2010s, Rrose adopted a gender-fluid artistic persona, often appearing in a veil of mystery both on stage and in public life, and citing the surrealist artist Marcel Duchamp’s female alter ego, Rrose Sélavy, as a key inspiration. Rrose’s music is marked by hypnotic rhythms, intricate textures, and a rigorous attention to psychoacoustics, blending influences from industrial, ambient, and academic electronic traditions.

Over the years, Rrose has released acclaimed records on pioneering labels such as Sandwell District, Stroboscopic Artefacts, and Eaux, the label they founded to cultivate challenging and boundary-pushing works. Their live performances are celebrated for their immersive intensity and sculptural sound design, bridging the worlds of club culture, art installations, and experimental music festivals. Rrose’s dedication to exploring liminality—between genres, identities, and sensory experiences—has secured their place as an influential and distinctive voice within contemporary electronic music.
