Ruxpin

The eclectic electronic producer Ruxpin is one of the leading figures in the Icelandic contemporary music scene. Widely associated with iconic labels such as n5MD and Elektrolux, Ruxpin stays true to his roots by consistently innovating his interpretation of melodic IDM electronic music, intergrating soul and innovation with the scene. The Estonia-based artist was born and raised in Kópavogur, Iceland, and became involved with the electronic music scene at very early age. First release came at the age of fifteen – followed with his debut album two years later on the Icelandic label Uni:Form Recordings. His debut release met with praise from media and caught the ears of the German output Elektrolux – where his next four full-length albums were released. Since 2009, Ruxpin has been releasing his works on the legendary US-based label n5MD – with his most recent album, entitled We Become Ravens, seeing the light of day in late 2016. His performances have reached the ears and eyes of IDM music lovers in over 20 countries. Ruxpin’s style of music is hard to pin down. His signature sounds are melancholic melodies, intriguing drum patterns and aesthetic atmospheric soundscapes. He tries hard not to be limited to any specific formulas and manages in that way to successfully create his own distinctive sound.
