Ronfoller (Orkhan Hagverdiyev)
AKA Feeler (Baku)

Hailing from Baku, Azerbaijan, Ronfoller is the artistic alias of Orkhan Hagverdiyev — a DJ and producer whose sound sits at the intersection of deep, progressive, and organic electronic music, shaped by a lifelong search for authenticity and emotional depth.

A music lover from an early age, Orkhan immersed himself in diverse sonic landscapes starting in 1997. By 2002, he discovered DJing and, in 2004, played his first set at a student party, spinning electro house, disco house, and house. That same year, he also began his journey as a music producer.

Early in his career, he was deeply inspired by local Azerbaijani pioneers such as Monroe (DJ Rem), Ahmed Suleymanov (DJ Red), Mansur (DJ Nemo), and Igor Garanin (DJ Looper) — mentors who laid the foundation for his sonic taste and artistic integrity.

In 2009, Ronfoller released his first tracks on the local label Green Sky, leaning into deep house and experimental electronics. Around this time, he also performed in various Russian clubs and quickly became a prominent figure in Baku’s nightlife. He held residencies at several of the city’s most iconic venues, including IN, Sektor Eight, Pasifico, Capitol, Barduck, and Sound Factory.

A new chapter began in 2014 with his debut on the international label Crumpled Music, releasing the track “The Autumn Calls”, featuring remixes by George Effe and Ray Porter. This marked the beginning of a steady output of music on respected labels such as Spring Tube, Soundteller, Stellar Fountain, Suffused, The Purr, and more. In 2019, his track “Along” was featured in a compilation by Anjunadeep — one of the world’s leading labels in deep and melodic electronic music.

Ronfoller’s music has received support from artists such as Alex O’Rion, Gai Barone, Tony McGuinness (Above & Beyond), Andrea Cassino, Max Graham, among others. His productions and DJ sets have been broadcast on prominent radio stations like Ibiza Global Radio, Proton Radio, and Frisky Radio.

From 2017 to 2018, he was a resident DJ and host of Deep Sessions and a contributor to Jazzy Beat on Azerbaijan’s Lider 107 FM, where he continued to share his deep, thoughtful sound with a growing local audience.

Throughout his career, Ronfoller has shared the stage and DJ booth with global artists including Guy J, Murat Uncuoglu, Artbat, Mark Knight, Guy Mantzur, Ten Walls, The Mekanism, Kadosh, Sahar Z, Matthias Meyer, Alex O’Rion, Martin Roth, Betoko (UK), Soul Button, Rene Amesz, Evren Ulusoy, and many more.

In 2015, he began collaborating with local legend Ahmed Suleymanov (DJ Red), producing a remix of Azerbaijani jazz icon Vagif Mustafazadeh’s “Night Baku”, followed by the joint track “Qala”. By 2021, the duo launched a new collaborative project titled U-Who, where they reinterpret traditional Azerbaijani music in a contemporary electronic context. Their remix of Bayati Shiraz and other works were featured in a live performance for Solong Live, filmed in the remote mountain village of Khinalig, and included in the compilation album “7 Gözəl” by Solong.

Ronfoller’s sound defies trends and easy categorization. It’s introspective, atmospheric, and full of soul — telling stories without words. His DJ sets feel like emotional journeys, with each moment flowing seamlessly into the next.

Feedback from listeners and peers often highlights the emotional depth and timeless quality of his work. Ronfoller remains a sincere, non-commercial artist — grounded in culture, inspired by feeling, and driven by the deeper resonance of sound.

Apart from being very eclectic in my personal musical taste,I am wide open to influences and very experimental in my perception music. Each of my sets comes impressed with my perception of where I am and who is around me. Free style,created as it happens, representing of both the moment and the result of my path though my musical experience up to that point.
