Rone

Erwan Castex (aka Rone) is a French-born electronic producer who specializes in melodic and experimentally-charged techno. His 2009 debut LP, Spanish Breakfast, garnered praise from some heavy-hitters in the electronic community, such as Pantha du Prince and Massive Attack, thanks to its chilly, heavily atmospheric nature. Far from a solely club-minded techno project, Castex has molded his work with Rone to feature frequent ambient passages and plenty of dreamy, ethereal hooks by way of warm keyboards and synthesizers. Now based out of the electronic hub that is Berlin, Rone should continue to find a following amongst fans of chilled out minimal techno.
