rhythmrobot is the alias of Chicago-based producer Ryan Gilhooley, a veteran of the underground scene with a deep love for Acid, Techno, and Deep House. Originally producing under the name Hardware in the early 2000s, Ryan took a creative hiatus from 2009 to 2015 to pursue a career in marketing. The return to music in 2015, under the moniker rhythmrobot, was as much a therapeutic journey as a sonic one.

In 2016, rhythmrobot made his label debut with Drum Hop on Ante Recordings, quickly followed by Chapdr3 on Run on Recordings, thanks to a fateful introduction to fellow producer Owen Ni (aka Pan!k). The two have since become frequent collaborators, with releases on labels such as Snail Juice Records, Bang Le Dex, AcidWorx, and Run on Trax.

A major milestone came in 2020 when Posthuman played rhythmrobot’s track Urges at the legendary I Love Acid party. The following year, his collaboration Rung with Owen Ni landed on several Spotify editorial playlists, earning global recognition and reaching listeners in 138 countries.

In 2023, rhythmrobot contributed an Acid mix to the iconic 5 Magazine's Rise series, solidifying his place in the evolving landscape of modern Acid and Techno. His work has been remixed by artists like dyLAB, JAK, Yokushe, Master Master, Mark Ryal, Distortion Inc., and Pat Foosheen.
