Hot off the record press, just in time to ring in the famous mobilee rooftop and pool season, Rodriguez Jr. cranks out a stellar four-track EP. 

Revolving around the beauty of the 133 is "Persistence Of Vision", a groovy and melodic little number wrapped in deep, soulful lyrics, customized to flow through the warm evening open air dance floors of Spain this summer. 

The Re.You remix of this utopian track speeds up the melodies just enough not to take away from the wonderfulness of it all. With some extra kinky sound gadgets sporadically added in, this jam can be worked in into any dancefloor set. 

On the flip side, "Mustang" tears it up with jumping keystrokes and faint background vocals while "Alderbaran" counteracts with cheerful xylophone taps battling with sinister vocal samples, harvesting an uplifting tune.

Persistence Of Vision

Get it on Beatport!

Rodriguez Jr. - Persistence Of Vision (Snippet)

I'm passionate about electronic music universe : Techno, Minimal, Tech-House, House, Deep-House. 

I was able to discover music quite young, my parents caught me dancing on Jazz, at 5/6 years old if i remembered well, ahahah, and from there my first saxophone and my lessons were offered to me. (conservatory, concerts, ..)  

So I bathed in this register for a few years, before gradually orienting myself on the world of nightlife (deejay, nightclubs, ...).

From there I discovered commercial music, I started to meet some deejay friends who passed on to me the pleasure of playing and mixing music. 

As the years went by, I had the opportunity to learn by myself, to choose the equipment that seemed correct and professional, to improve myself. 

I started to move away from commercial music, looking for originality, and that auditory journey I didn't have before (beautiful melodies). 

From there, techno parties (Villa Rouge, Montpellier (France), Portugal (Plages Electroniques, BPM in 2017, Kremlin (Lisbon), Main Club (Lisbon), ...) started, professional meetings too, and my taste for production, composition started too. 

And for 4/5 years now I'm focused on production. 

Music being for me a remedy, a soothing, a way to say what I can't necessarily say. 

It's a kind of landmark, where I feel extremely well, and where I can stimulate my imagination, my creativity, ... . 

"Music is my drug for a long time, even after my death it will continue to flow into my mind " !

Some follow trends, others set them. Award-winning music producer & live performer Rodriguez Jr. also known as Olivier Mateu has spent 25 years in the industry. His vast experience in all genres of electronic music makes him the visionary of melodic house and techno that he is today.
Over the years he has gradually honed his style into the dynamic, colorful sound of beauty that can now be regularly found on Mobilee, Anjunadeep, Systematic, Armada and demanded for on remixes of Stephan Bodzin, Booka Shade, Eli & Fur, Röyksopp, NTO, Timo Maas and more.

Drawing inspiration for his live performances from the vintage synthesizers, keyboards and dusty analog gear of his studio in Paris, Rodriguez Jr. relishes the opportunity to travel the globe and realise his project on stage. In doing so he has amassed a devoted and loyal fan base through the creation of his unique movement. Some of the most recent acclaimed shows featured huge festival performances at Sziget (Hungary), Lightning in A Bottle and CRSSD (both California), Paraiso and Sonar Festival (both Spain). Continuing to blur the boundaries between electronic and organic like few others can, his extensive touring schedule sees Mateu at world-renowned clubs every week, taking him to the likes of Solumun’s party at Destino Ibiza, Fabric London and Space Miami.

Not stopping there, Rodriguez Jr. has formed a special musical partnership with former Nouvelle Vague vocalist Liset Alea. The pair met 15 years ago creating music for Laurent Garnier´s label, and through their ongoing live RJLA project, they tell sonic stories, fusing organic charms of live instrumentation with cutting-edge music for the dancefloor and presenting this at selected events. This culminated in an extraordinary audio/visual display for broadcast pioneers Cercle, with a unique performance at the carefully selected idyllic location of Falaises d’Etretat, showcasing their captivating live electronics.

On the production front, Mateu has continued to have an exceptional output, with his last release on Mobilee Radian entering the Beatport top ten within three days following release. Another highlight was his full Anjunadeep debut on the eclectic double-cut entitled Phoenix/Amargosa. Alongside this his remixes have also been received with equal merit on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Systematic or Poker Flat. His latest reworking of Eli & Fur on Anjunadeep made it to number three of the Beatport melodic house & techno chart. On Spotify, his music reaches an audience of 625,000 listeners each month and continues to grow every week.
