Rodriguez Jr.
BIO
Rodriguez Jr., the alias of French electronic music artist Olivier Mateu, is a creative force who has redefined the sonic possibilities of melodic house and techno. With over two decades of innovation from his roots in the underground to global acclaim, Mateu stands as a pioneer, blending emotion and technology into a seamless narrative of sound.
Over the years he has gradually honed his style into a masterful interplay of analog warmth, emotive melodies, and hypnotic rhythms that can now be regularly found on Anjunadeep, Armada, Mobilee, or his own imprint Feathers & Bones and demanded on remixes of Stephan Bodzin, Monolink, Jan Blomqvist, Booka Shade, Eli & Fur, Röyksopp, NTO, Tricky, Timo Maas and more.
Drawing inspiration for his live performances from the vintage synths in his Miami studio, Rodriguez Jr. relishes the opportunity to travel the globe and realize his project on stage and has amassed a devoted loyal fan base through the creation of his unique movement where the visceral emotional connection between Mateu and the crowd is becoming trademark.
Continuing to blur the boundaries between electronic and organic like few others can, his extensive touring schedule sees Mateu at world-renowned clubs and festivals every week, taking him to the likes of Cercle Festival, Burning Man, Fabric London, Space Miami, Mirage New York, Zamna Tulum, Lightning In A Bottle, Movement Detroit or CRSSD California.
