February 9, 2022 – Rone will tour North America this coming June, with a series of concerts kicking off on June 10th in Vancouver and ending on June 23rd in Washington DC.
The French electronic music producer Rone was born Erwan Castex in 1980 near Paris. Spotted by the InFiné label, Rone released his debut 'Spanish Breakfast' to critical acclaim in 2009 and has since released another 6 studio albums,exploring a sound that Pitchfork described as "Existing somewhere in the intersection points of an imagined venn diagram between dance-y beatmaking, ambient composition, and neon-tinted synth-driven film scores”. A climate activist,
Rone has collaborated to the short film “Nature Now” featuring Greta Thunberg and tackled civilizational collapse with his 2020 album “Room With A View”.
Throughout his career, Rone has demonstrated an ability to combine his music with other art forms such as literature with Alain Damasio, photography with Stéphane Couturier or contemporary dance with the collective (LA)HORDE. As for moving images, he composed the soundtracks of 3 of Vladimir Mavounia-Kouka’s animated films and in 2020, he won the French Academy Award Cesar for Best Original Score for his work on Frédéric Farrucci’s "Night Ride”. His second soundtrack is for Jacques Audiard ́s "Paris, 13th District”, which will see release in US theaters this spring.

Important Information
Rone
In a 12 year career, Erwan Castex aka RONE has established himself as a major talent on the French electronic music scene.
With six studio albums on the Parisian label InFiné and numerous collaborations (Saul Williams, The National, John Stanier, Kazu Makino, Georgia, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jehnny Beth, Etienne Daho, Yael Naim, film director Michel Gondry, or science fiction writer Alain Damasio...), RONE has been able to constantly step out of his comfort zone by going beyond the boundaries of electronic music.
At the beginning of 2017, he filled the Philharmonie de Paris for a unique and singular creation, which made him win the Prix des Indés (Indie Award) in the Live category. At the end of 2018, during the web & television series “Variations“, RONE surprised the audience by offering a rereading of works by the great British composer Benjamin Britten, accompanied on stage by the Maîtrise de Radio France and its choir director Sofi Jeannin.
In 2019, RONE records “Motion“, a 12-minute electro-classical piece in which the dreamy arpeggios of his machines blend perfectly with the sound of the instruments of the 85 classical musicians of the orchestra Les Siècles conducted by François-Xavier Roth.
Invited by the renowned Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris for a carte blanche in the spring of 2020, RONE and the collective (LA)HORDE present the music and dance piece “Room With A View“ with 20 dancers from the Ballet National de Marseille. This was followed by the release of “Room With A View“, his fifth entirely instrumental album. During the long weeks of lockdown and at the time of social distancing, RONE decides to launch the “Rone & Friends“ project, by inviting 14 artist friends to put their voices on his compositions. One month before the release of the album, RONE won the César for the best soundtrack for the film “La Nuit Venue“, which marked his entry into cinema. More recently, his soundtrack for Jacques Audiard’s film “Les Olympiades“ was selected for the César 2022.
