RÜFÜS DU SOL biografia

RÜFÜS (aka RÜFÜS DU SOL in North America) are an indie dance trio who formed in 2010 hailing from Sydney, Australia and have won an allegiance of fans and critics alike with their dreamy and catchy rhythms.

Having just completed a sound engineering course, Jon George (keys) met Tyrone Lindqvist (vocals) through his brother and he jumped on board to record to his Lindqvist’s solo acoustic project. Bonding through their mutual love of artists such as: Booka Shade, Trentemoller and Royksopp, they experimented with a more electronic sound and recorded the outcome in their bedrooms. Once the material had been produced, James Hunt (drums) from a local indie band completed the line-up and the vision for RÜFÜS was realised. The result of these recordings would become their debut self-titled EP which they released in 2011 featuring the first single “We Left” on their own label Monkeleon.

The following year the band released the “Blue” EP with the single “This Summer”. As advocates for the DIY approach, the band tend kept all productions low key and had all artwork designed by George’s brother allowing the band to have full control over the all aspects of their art.

Using Soundcloud as a platform to release new material saw the band boost both interest and popularity as their reach extended worldwide with their energetic and ambient electronic sound. As RÜFÜS ventured outside of Australia, playing shows across Europe with their European influenced sound, the band soon became known for their electric performances as the commanded the attention of the audience with their euphoric and upbeat sounds.

After writing solidly for nine months, in 2013 RÜFÜS released their highly anticipated debut album “Atlas” which catapulted into the Australian album charts debuting at number one and achieving gold status. The album created a perfect balance of light and dark whilst encompassing all their musical influences and featured the popular singles: “Tonight”, “Desert Night” and “Take Me”.

RÜFÜS have supported LCD SoundSystem and Holy Ghost! and made appearances at SXSW, Wonderland Festival and Reading and Leeds festival, comfortably situating themselves at the forefront of Australia’s emerging EDM scene.

Stripping down to a simple stage set up of percussion, synths, drum pads and keys Australian trio RÜFÜS continue to mesmerise audiences with their synth infused indie dance music. Forming in 2010, Jon George, Tyrone Lindqvist and James Hunt released their self-titled EP the following year. However it was the release of their debut full length album ‘Atlas’ in 2013 which catapulted them into mainstream, heading straight to number one in the Australian album charts and churned out 4 top ten singles. Despite having the minimalistic approach on stage, there is nothing small about RÜFÜS’s gargantuan sound which fills the room as the crowd sing along to ‘Tonight’, ‘Desert Night’ and ‘Take Me’. With an abundance of deep lighting to assist in creating that mysterious atmosphere through the vibrant intermittent red and blue lights gliding across the stage accompanied by billowing haze entices the audience to get lost in their catchy and dreamesque music. Lindqvist’s vocals are spine-chillingly enchanting and full of heart, wonderfully complimented by tinny drum beats. RÜFÜS have a great ability to turn the entire room into a massive dance floor as they guide the crowd through a wave of emotions accentuated by the euphoric and vibrant atmosphere that they so effortlessly create.

Maribou State are made for the pulsing club circuit, with upcoming shows with Fatboy Slim and The 2 Bears at Warehouse Project, at the Ministry of Sound and at the well-established Watergate superclub in Berlin. They’re the international discotheque trailblazers that will make everyone’s night from Brooklyn to Brighton to Ibiza to the glowstick parties of Croatia and Romania. Their shadowy, eclectic minimal-house sound resembles that of Pantha Du Prince, Modeselektor or Shackleton. They understand what it means to be laconic, using subtle shifts in tempo and gradually overlapping samples to create a kind of mutating ambience that’s deceptively complex.
Their debut EP blended sub-tropical percussion and symbols with intercut, soulful vocal tracks to create a perambulating, worldly sort of nu-jazz, with appearances from Saint Saviour on ‘Scarlet Groove’ and Pedestrian on ‘Rush Don’t Run’. Their subsequent Eps Native and Truths have a more haunting atmosphere about them. Their live tracks fuse all their widely-sourced jams together seamlessly. As a point of reference, check their Boiler Room set, which flails wildly between Afro-jazz, bossanova, minimal, coldwave and funk in the first half-hour.
