Rose Ringed is back with a new EP on his imprint: Closed Eyes Recordings. A Modern Prayer tells the story about modern society's current belief. Namely, the belief in self. The amount of people believing in an external god is slowly turning into the belief of some sort of internal god: oneself. Our lives are becoming increasingly individualistic, which results in an increased amount of modern psychologic diseases like burn-outs depressions. There doesn’t seem much room for feelings. People get rewarded for showing their wealth and portray an external image that doesn’t show their internal conflicts – conflicts we all have. This EP tells the story of a modern prayer of the current younger generation.

Hope For A Better Future
Hope For A Better Future captures the belief of changing one's life by the need for reaching certain goals in life; always hoping for things to happen in the belief that such would make one happy. The inability of acceptance of the current self creates a never-ending tension for a better life, resulting in an unhappy state of mind.

Becoming
Becoming captures the journey one is taking to becoming the desired version of oneself. Society has created the idea that people are made for some kind of profession, while, in truth, your personality and interest areas are just as fluid as your own believes. Yet people start to chase an empty idea of a future in which they can only be happy when they reach their goals. It's like someone chasing his own tail: a never-ending loophole of becoming the desired self.

And Then Everything Changed
And Then Everything Changed is about the unexpected changes in life. The track shows, in contradiction to the others, how one actually ends up in an entirely different place. It emphasizes that life is rather fluid than solid. A belief in the solely individual mindset is proven to be wrong, lonely, and devastating in the end.

Amsterdam-based DJ, producer, label boss, and live artist Rose Ringed continues his meteoric rise in the electronic music scene, seamlessly blending emotive melodies, sweeping chord progressions, and deep, danceable energy. With a background in drumming and jazz piano, his mission remains clear: to tell stories through sound.

2024 has been a defining year for Rose Ringed. His remix of Tiësto’s classic "Lethal Industry" became a modern anthem, receiving massive support from industry heavyweights like Adriatique, Argy, Joris Voorn, Armin van Buuren, Innellea, Colyn, Korolova, and Miss Monique. This remix reaffirmed his ability to bridge the past and present, bringing new energy to timeless electronic records.
His reputation as a powerhouse performer continues to grow, with standout appearances at Tomorrowland’s Mainstage and Freedom Stage, Universo Parallelo in Brazil, and Core Medellín. With an ever-expanding international fanbase, Rose’s performances are becoming must-see events worldwide. In 2025, he’s set to take the stage for an electrifying back-to-back set with Joris Voorn at Tomorrowland, solidifying his place among the scene’s heavyweights .

Beyond his performances, Rose Ringed is shaping the future of dance music with the launch of HRMNY, his brand-new event series. Focused on fostering collaboration and community within the electronic music world, HRMNY aims to create an immersive space where artists connect on a deeper level, both musically and creatively.

This summer marks another milestone as Rose unveils his highly anticipated debut album, launching on July 14th. A deeply personal project, the album is dedicated to his late mother, a jazz ballerina who profoundly shaped his musical journey before her passing when he was just 11 years old.

With consistent support from the biggest names in the dance world, Rose’s influence continues to expand. His track "Never Stop" on Solomun’s Diynamic label has further cemented his reputation, alongside his performance on the Diynamic stage at Sonar Festival Barcelona.

With over 20 releases on his Closed Eyes imprint, alongside signings on Diynamic and Joris Voorn’s Spectrum, Rose Ringed is building an artistic legacy. From his early success with "Spring Memories" in 2018 to his recent chart-topping productions, his journey from listening to his father’s trance CDs as a grieving child to now inspiring thousands through music is nothing short of extraordinary.

With a sound that blends deep emotion and undeniable energy, and a growing list of accolades and festival appearances, Rose Ringed is set to leave an indelible mark on the electronic music world.

What sets Rose Ringed apart is his deeply personal and self-sufficient approach to music. He meticulously crafts every production entirely on his own, from composition to final mix, ensuring that each track is a pure expression of his artistry. Drawing inspiration from his own inner world and past experiences, he transforms emotion into sound, weaving meaningful narratives that resonate universally. His music isn’t just about making people dance—it’s about connection, catharsis, and storytelling, allowing listeners to find pieces of their own journeys within his melodies. This raw authenticity and hands-on dedication make his sound both unique and deeply impactful.

I grew up in the 80s, listening to bands like Europe and Bon Jovi.  I soon took interest in Roxette of all bands and moved on from that crazy at the end of the 1990s to absolutely love the trance boom and I would shut myself away and play trance music as loud as I could.  I was often asked whether I was in a party as I would play it in the evenings at college and people were disappointed that they weren't invited to the party - but this was a party for one person (me) and I loved it.  I have been an aspiring producer ever since those days.

The name Krannaken originates from a Scottish pudding called Cranachan.  I thought it would be a great name for a World of Warcraft character and have been known musically by the name Krannaken for a couple of years now.

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.
