Rose Ringed releases high-energy ‘Prism’ EP on Closed Eyes Recordings

Prev support from Solomun, Pete Tong, Joris Voorn, Eelke Kleijn, Blond:ish, Âme, Jennifer Cardini, Hammer; Beatport; DJ Mag ES; Spotify Melodic Souls, Deep Tech House, Anjunadeep Progressive House; Apple’s Adidas Runners Playlist, Anjunadeep Trance &. House


Rose Ringed, still on a high from his recent remix of Reflekt’s UK #1 ‘Need To Feel Loved’ supported by Pete Tong, Joris Voorn, Eelke Kleijn et al, is back on his own Closed Eyes Recordings imprint with multi-genre three-track EP ‘Prism’.

The Amsterdam multi-instrumentalist/DJ/producer raids melodic techno, house, euphoric trance, synthpop, to bring high-energy uplift but also deep emotion to ravers and listeners, after the tragic childhood loss of his beloved jazz ballerina Mum caused the 11 year old to seek comfort in the euphoria of his dad's electronic music CDs - a catharsis he feels driven to share - and don't we all need more joy? Hence his ever-higher support from fans and industry names alike; with Joris Voorn, he played B2B at his sold-out Album live show, and the two released an EP together; as well as the Reflekt remix, RR also remixed ESTIVA’s ‘Snow Flower’, and played before Solomun (Hangar Brussels, 10k audience), Adriatique (OFF Sonar), and is booked for Tomorrowland and Mysteryland.  

‘Stands Still’ (w. Julia Adriana): choppy organ notes over a jumping house beat and a fast, high synth melody showcase Adriana’s voice - now layered, now solo in long, sustained notes of stunning clarity – singing of ‘those moments in which the world just stops, your thoughts spinning with you. The control needed for those extended still phrases is just incredible,’ says Rose Ringed of his ‘friend and amazing talent’. 

‘All I Need’ is a full-on blast of speed and joy, with diamond-sharp house beat, techno-ish acid upper bass, spare distorted ‘morse’ melody, an insistent, poppy vocal riff, a big build breakdown bringing a trance drop which already has hands and energy through the roof in his DJ sets… hard to pin down the genre but easy to feel the lift it brings. 

‘Big Bang’: a steady portentous build via a displaced beat with ratatat percussion, choral chords bringing gravitas, speeding up, the extended breakdown with frantic high siren synth notes, the drop, the BIG bang –woven from RR’s doodling of a rhythmic G in 3 octaves inspiring him to ‘keep a repetitive G throughout, developing and bursting into the final explosion. I found a chord progression to glide underneath that lead which brought the story I always look for in my tracks.’ 


‘Prism’ is out April 12th on Closed Eyes Recordings. Save it here.

Rose Ringed is back with hyper energized EP Broken Belief with a new dimension

Rose Ringed returns with a new ultra-high energy, upbeat EP on his imprint Closed Eyes Recordings, but this time packing a more spiritual punch. Broken Belief will dance your feet bare and have your hands in the air, while brilliantly examining the conflict of free will with religious belief. Have faith – the Amsterdammer multi-instrumentalist DJ/producer can do it, while adding a few extra zeros-worth of new disciples to his massive streaming stats.

The 3 tracks chart the struggle between the sacred and the secular, using not only his signature genre-busting, hyperspeed euphoric style, but also the powerful sounds of choral vocals and thunderous organ notes. There is a clear progression through the EP. 

Lost Religion: stunning choral notes open before fast, madly dancey note progressions and bags of slap-happy beats build compulsively to a breakdown of angelic voices, as spirit and free will ecstatically fight it out. ‘The first time I played it live it amazed me how people reacted. The big break makes everyone wonder what’s to come, then when the main hook comes back in everyone is feeling the tension, the drop into the heavy subbase and steady groove makes everyone fist pump like a madman every time I play it.’ 

Leap of Faith: the choir start strong, deep and portentous with a heavy drum beat, before frenetic, insanely fast 80s electronica kicks down the doors. Breakdown brings back the voices and organ, before the synths start to really sing, with a joyful, high note melody like an electronic vox humana. ‘Every time the big break with the organ chords comes in people lose it! A perfect track to enter the night. We take these leaps of faith to fulfil our dreams, to give us purpose.’

Where Have You Been: drum and hi-hat at breakneck speed with buzzing synths and bass hit us first, the choral voices now fully synthesised into glorious harmony. ‘The silence before the big synth drop has everyone screaming and cheering. When the drop hits you can actually hear people say: “WOWW”. I just can’t control myself putting my hands in the air throughout this track!’ 

And neither will you – believe!

Rose Ringed - Lost Religion

Rose Ringed EP17

Rose is back with a new EP on his label Closed Eyes Recordings. With three intense tracks which travel from dark to uplifting melodic techno. The EP’s story is about our society slowly becoming more and more focused on the individual which makes people more insecure, stressed, and in need of some kind of savior.

The first track named Relieve me has a strong bottom end and a vocal that preaches in Latin. The track has a dark feeling with a strong aggressive mid lead sound which catches your attention immediately. Rose: “When I played this the first time I was amazed by the crowd's reaction to the breakdown, originally it did not have the Latin speaking preacher in there but to me, the track missed something to tell the story. When I added that Latin speaking vocal back in the studio the track finally came together"

The second track named Save me was produced most recently and starts with an addictive tom groove leading up to a big Reese base and stabbed chords that instantly lift your mood. The big breakdown is a true classic rose-ringed hands in the air moment, the beautiful chord progression takes you into a new dimension before the hook hits again. Rose: “This track was inspired by the tendency that people can have of needing something external to make oneself happy or healed again, I played it at marktkantine and noticed how it changes the mood to a more open and euphoric mood when I play it. 

The last track named Help me is truly one of a kind, it doesn’t follow one key but changes the whole key up and down. It leaves you with a feeling of constant tension which never seems to resolve. The enormous stabs and strings make this a perfect big room festival track. Rose: “This one came together in a very creative way of arranging, I had all clips lined up and came up with the idea to change the pitch of all the instruments - except the drums - during my live arrangement. You can see the original recording moment on my Instagram reels. The track was inspired by the feeling of being chased by troubles and the urge for it to end.”

Rose Ringed returns with the joyous, high energy 3-track ‘In Search for Truth’ EP

Previous support from Âme, Jennifer Cardini, Hammer, Zombies In Miami; DJ Mag Spain; Beatport; Spotify’s Melodic Souls, Deep Tech House, Anjunadeep Progressive House; Apple’s Adidas Runners Playlist, Anjunadeep Trance & Prog. House

Rose Ringed returns with an anthemic EP on his imprint Closed Eyes Recordings. The Amsterdam DJ/producer creates upbeat, fast, compulsively danceable tracks, which yet explore huge questions of belief, truth, and personal faith. The three tracks of ‘In Search for Truth’ had their genesis in chord progressions, and travel from those to huge synth lead sounds and high energy rhythms. No wonder his music industry support and his streaming figures are equally stratospheric. 

God’s Power launches into speedy staccato synths and hi-hats like a divine Morse code for euphoric dance, until the pure, male-strong choir creates a gothic breakdown, with Carl Jung pronouncing on faith – ‘I don’t need to believe; I know’. Choir and cathedral-powered organ join the dance to the end of a thrilling ride. ‘We don’t know what the truth is but we know there is truth out there.’ 

In Your Eyes is ‘about the endlessly beautiful role our eyes have in forming some sort of truth in our brains, creating our beliefs.’ It’s also about a no-holds-barred 132bpm beat, trancey woozy synths, and a sweeter, higher choir creating a joyous melange, now full-on rave, now thoughtful as Rose Ringed uses the breakdowns with signature skill.

Giving has an even faster feel, building both euphoria and tension as the frantic synth tries to break through all limits, jittering through the breakdown behind a melody (musos, take note) in the Phrygian aka ‘Spanish’ scale before letting rip to the end, evoking ‘an emotion of something hopeful and beautiful yet dark and unresolved. In a personal situation, I experienced the joy of giving, it’s beautiful how it makes you happier than the self-centredness the world focuses on.’

Rose Ringed - In Your Eyes

Rose is back with a new single on his imprint Closed Eyes Recordings. This time capturing the soul of the recently closed nightclub: “The Marktkantine” in Amsterdam. The track is a combination of the typical electronic characteristics the club became famous for; it has the disco-ish/Italo vibe, as well as a deep electronic trance-influenced beat and breakdown. Hands in the air are guaranteed with this one.

PRESS RELEASE:
Rose Ringed strikes new notes with ‘For Us’ EP – out November 3rd 

Previous support from Solomun, Joris Voorn, Blond:ish, Âme, Jennifer Cardini, Hammer; Beatport; DJ Mag Spain; Spotify’s Melodic Souls, Deep Tech House, Anjunadeep Progressive House; Apple’s Adidas Runners Playlist, Anjunadeep Trance & Prog. House


Amsterdam DJ/multi-instrumentalist Rose Ringed returns with three tracker ‘For Us’ EP. 

The Dutch producer enlists both analogue and digital sounds, multiple synths and choral vocal notes, and diverse genres – melodic techno, house, euphoria, synthpop – in his quest to bring joy to blissed-out clubbers and listeners. Recent releases have explored major questions of spirituality and truth. ‘For Us’ tells a more romantic love story, still high energy and uplifting, but with a darker edge.  

‘I gravitate between an external perspective of concepts that fascinate me, and an internal perspective mostly about deep inner emotions,’ says Rose Ringed. Here, he plays creatively with breakdowns too: long solo, or a sudden silence, or a breakdown building into another… 

Fight For Love; dreamy synth chords behind fast, bounding bass and drums, build to the sustained breakdown with its choral notes and chiming arps like falling snow, the breathy, resonant melody entrances as the organ adds gravitas auguring the drop, before all elements unite in a high energy finale. ‘The most personal track I’ve ever put out,’ says Ringed. ‘This and ‘WLYG’ reflect times I had to fight for very significant loved ones.’

Nights Without; powerfully fast but darker, more urgent sound patterns, growling bassline, a plangent melody, and after the breakdown, bags of bass, jittery percussion, a sudden breathing space of silence, before the wild ride to the finish. ‘I wanted this track to be “cold” in the beat and very “warm” on the breaks. Like the beat parts are the nights without “her” and the breaks are “with her”.’

Won’t Let You Go features a strong, fast, staccato synth melody constantly hooking the listener yet varying, over a deep, deep humming bass, with a sort of double breakdown. Simultaneously danceable and listenable. ‘When I first played this, at De Zon festival, I was so amazed by the reaction. The breakdown features field recordings I made on the beach in Kenya with my dad.’

Press Release
Rose Ringed is back with a brilliant dancefloor approved three-tracker on his own Closed Eyes Recordings imprint. 'The Journey' EP is pure Rose Ringed - high energy, fast and euphoric with just an edge of melancholy, referencing the trance CDs which were the soundtrack and emotional catharsis of his childhood. This EP will hit you in the heart. 

'You're Already There' has synths - the growling bassline, the slow-build chords, and the fast, choppy melodic riffs - competing between those arresting trancey breakdowns. 

'Reaching for Paradise' has a joyful flow with cascades of playful synth melody, and a spoken vocal motif, to hold even a champion multitasker like a blissed-out deer in heaven's headlights.

'Hold Tight' is insistent, commanding, with speedy scattery synth melody, powerful beat and drums, and a subtle flavour of Depeche Mode in the aftertaste. Just beautiful, lend it your ears, you won't want them back.

Rose Ringed - Hold Tight

Rose Ringed - Reaching For Paradise

Rose Ringed - You're Already There

Rose Ringed - Big Bang

Rose Ringed - All I Need

Rose Ringed, Julia Adriana - Stands Still

Release date: 8th of June.

Rose Ringed's third release. With three completely different tracks, Rose Ringed continues to explore different types of leftfield house and techno. The first track "Take Me Away" is a true peak time energy booster. Led by a straight four to the flour techno beat, a simple yet catchy hook and a vocal sample of Oceanic's "Insanity". The second track ("Energy") is a breakbeat emotive string-filled track which just makes you close your eyes and dance to the rhythm. The third and final track named "Sorry" is a somewhat more relaxed track with a very deep and long break, which makes the track convert to a euphoric piano house beat.

"Rose's fourth EP, "A Different Story", is - as the name suggests - diferent than the previous ones. With the opening track "Waited for you" the listener gets flashbacks to the 80ies, due to an euphoric synth line and a classic baseline. The second track featuring Heath Ledger’s opinion on journalist criticising Broke Back Mountain, immediately pulls you in. Its story with a trancey syntline and the techno beat "tension" is a true floor filler. The last track - again - totally differs from the other ones, with a groovy baseline. The aggressive base melody on top makes it a great energy booster to be danced upon all night long.

Rose Ringed - Cant You See It

Rose Ringed- I Waited For You

The fourth release of @RoseRinged this year. This time rose explores the different types of song structures of left-field house and techno. The opening track named: "I Had To Leave" begins with a lofi piano melody which formed rose's inspiration to the track. it's a typical four to the flour beat with a changing arp progression and dramatic vocal catchphrase singing the titles track: "I'm sorry I had to leave".

The second track named: I Love starts out with a different type of rhytm than rose usually does. The track evolves to some sort of mythical vibe and finally blows up into a trance-ish melody. 

The last track named: Once Upon a Time is a more chilled-out melancholic song, inspired by rose's trip to Peru in June. It contains field recordings of children playing in a fountain in the mountain village of Cusco.

Rose Ringed - I Had To Leave

Roses 6th release on our label. This time the energy level gets pumped up. The opening track named “running around in circles” is a  typical 4 to the floor techno track. it grabs you from the start with its strong low-end groove and catches your attention again when the melody drops in. The second track on the EP named: “The One I Need” is a true euphoria blasting almost progressive kind of techno track, with its 90 vocal sample and gigantic break this track would fit perfectly into the closing track of a summer festival. The closing track of the EP named “I Know the Feeling” explores the total opposite. Starting with deep chords and followed by this “strange thing” like melody these tracks make you close your eyes and explore your inner thoughts.

Rose Ringed - The One I Need

Rose Ringed - It Never Ends

Apple music: http://bit.ly/FSapplemusic

Rose’s seventh EP on the label contains straight up four to the flout techno tracks. The main synth line in “Give me the strength” will give you a feeling of euphoria while the stabs in “Green diamonds in the sky” makes you wanna dance your ass of. It never ends does actually what the title suggests, it feels like it never ends, the groovy baseline and constantly evolving background noises make is the perfect closing track.

Rose Ringed - Green Diamonds In The Sky

Rose’s eight EP on the label. Rose’s eight EP on the label. This time the EP was very personal to the artist written in a time of huge life events and changes. 

The first track named: "How Can We Trust" was inspired by a book written by Malcolm Gladwell named: Talking with strangers. It shows and tells how badly we are in spotting liars and how many wrong assumptions we make in terms of trusting someone. The track shows a strong single-note baseline which modulates constantly and fades away when a dramatic synth part comes in. 

The Change Agent was inspired by a piano riff and chord progression rose found on the piano. The main break has a vocal by the famous steve job speech at Stanford University. This speech tells an amazing story and had a big impact on roses decisions in life, so yet again a very personal record. 

In the last record on the EP named: "The Pain We Don't Show" the title says it all. In life, we are expected to show up happy enthusiastic, and superficial. While many of us have a lot of stuff to cope with. The track starts out with a pad that minor chord progression which is there basically the whole track. It is followed by a breakbeat rhythm, a simple baseline, and ends up with an amazing melody and deep synth line.

End Of A Chapter

Rose Ringed - How Can We Trust

Rose Ringed 9th EP on the label with three different techno records. 
In a turbulent time full of fearful inducing news we could all use some music that lifts our spirits. The track Moodlifter is exactly what you need to fulfill this need. With its heavy kick, pushing baseline, and cheerful melody it provides you all the energy you need during days like these. 

Contrary to a mood lift we also recognize a darker state of mind. The track Silent killer is a dark four to the floor techno track with a steady groove. The questioning synth-line asks for an answer getting delivered when the melody kicks in.

When there is only little hope for a better future, the only thing we can do is dreaming about it. Chasing the Dream takes you on a journey of lushing flickering synths and a trance-like chord progression which uplifts you to a place you’d never thought existed.

Rose Ringed - Chasing The Dream

On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1CiLrVyv1ANWYTpd0C9Utj?si=rqJ1jKQJRnGthCX-R8KAFw

Rose’s 10th EP on Closed Eyes Recordings named “from the Heart” tells a personal story. This EP is all about love and its infinite scope of feelings it triggers. The first track named: What We Do For Love starts out with a dreamy 8 chord progression followed by classic Rose Ringed 16th note baseline and hi-hats. The track is all about the huge break which builds down slowly and then explodes into an ’80s like melody which makes you feel both euphoric and nostalgic at the same time. This is some fist-pumping main stage material and also Rose’s favorite track he produced in his career. 

The Second track named; More Than Anything starts out with a lush sounding 32 bar melody which is followed by a groovy kick and base combination. The tracks build on and surprise with a jazzy solo leading into the break. The melody the tracks start with gets opened up again and switches the song to a melodic baseline instead of a groovy one. The tracks follow a very unusual song structure and has quite some surprises, to rose this is track resembles many aspects of his musical tastes. You can hear his jazz roots in the solo and chords, his love for energy in the baseline, and his love for euphoric inducing moments in all the drops. 

The Third track named Paradise is again very different than the other tracks. With its Big vocal leading into a big drop with a huge sub-baseline the track makes you dream away. As the lyrics tell you, the soundscape feels like a dream-like a paradise. Rose tells us the chords in the track makes him feel very melancholic and made the track for him.

Rose Ringed - What We Do For Love

Closed Eyes Recordings (CER011) 

Rose’s 11th EP on the label. Containing 3 techno tracks

The overall concept of this EP named “in times of disbelief” is inspired by the incredible changes in the world of the last months. People are fearful, governments are in crisis and the world has come to a stop, all these changes feel surreal and put many people in a state of distrust. The tracks are the base of these feelings and concepts. 

The first track named “Out of Sync” follows a strong arpeggiated mono synth line which goes in and out of sync constantly. The track follows a steady groove and gets opened in the big break down by an 8 chord progression leading into a big euphoric synth space. Then followed by a big unison polysynth which almost sounds like a guitar, playing an arp which is also changing in speed and synchronization. Then finally gets back to the main groove and follows this on steadily. 

The second track named: “What are you waiting for” is just like the first track along, emotive techno track which moves from a strong and powerful beat to emotive chord progressions. The overall slow buildup and repetitive melody make this something special, which could be lifting a room of dancers to a new level. A perfect closing set end track as Rose would call it. 

The Third track named “Lies” is somewhat slower on the energy and induces a darker feeling. The piano chords give the track rose’s signature. The track slowly builds to a climax where the synth line changes to some sort of Arabic tone ladder. The heavy low end of this track gives you that “oomph” feeling we all like so much in Techno.

Rose Ringed - Out of Sync

Desires EP (CER0012) 

Just like his last EP “In Times of Disbelief”, Rose Ringed’s new record “Desires” taps into the rollercoaster of emotions we all have been through over the past months - and those ahead. Nostalgic feelings of love and friendship, but also those of fear and hope for miracles to happen. With this multifaceted EP, consisting of three stand-alone tracks, Rose proves he isn’t afraid of drawing outside the lines sonically. 

“Falling in love” is about the nostalgic moment you fall in love for the first time, including a strong sense of intimacy while looking right into someone’s soul. Hence this record contains a large dose of melancholy and longing. It perfectly hits a sweet spot – that, for many, has been missing over the past year. 

“A Miracle” taps into the optimistic feeling of the wisdom that miracles do actually exist. With lots of energy, Rose combines a heavy baseline and techno beat with a trance-inspired main melody – leaving its listeners with a positive state of mind. 

“We’re Not Finished Yet” spurs a sense of rush and therefore perfectly captures a recognizable state of mind. But instead of focusing on an impending disaster, the record sparks joy. Life goes on and we’re not finished yet – an almost prophetic message offering perspectives for those who are open to it. 

After all, “Desires” consists of nostalgic memories juxtaposed with the unknown. All together it leaves the listener with feelings of hope and acceptance. Hope for a near future full of (new) love, miracles and bursting lives fully lived. But to remain hopeful and to move forward, acceptance of what is now is inescapable. And while acceptance seems harder than ever, Rose Ringed’s new records create space in the mind for both sweet memories and sweet dreams of the future.

Why we exist 
Closed Eyes Recordings delivers stories through sound. With these stories, we want to create an impactful experience for our listeners. We believe meaningful stories help you guide you through the highs and lows in life. Stories like this are the most valuable for us in a piece of music. It’s this music that makes you close your eyes and experience the most beautiful thing in life: being.

What we aim for
Closed Eyes Recordings releases only those records resonate with your deeper feelings. We aim to release an artist’s most personal work; music that has a deeply special meaning for them. This could be a passed away loved one, an exciting memory of their youth or any other meaningful feeling or thought they get when listening to their work.

In our vision, the only valuable criticism stems from the feeling a record evokes among its listeners. Those who try to single-handedly evaluate music by rationally overanalysing it, miss the purpose of music itself: extricate emotions.

What we look for
The sound should never be perfect because life isn’t perfect itself. 
We love raw, vintage and imperfect sounds, and yes we are suckers for the melody. Unexpectedness is key within our sound and we prefer simplicity over complexity. Music is a feeling, not an equation.
