2021 is heating up for Roughion and this release keeps the fire burning! Back with another acidic remix to wet your senses Living For Free brings the energy of the club to wherever you are. With lyrics that dwell on a time pre lockdown “I like drinking on Friday and dancing in the week” Living For Free is a track to keep for when we are surrounded by our friends and inhibitions go to the wind! With early support from a host of underground DJs this one is bound to stay in your head and make you tap your feet! Living For Free started off as an instagram message between Gwion and Sam from Shamoniks, Gwion had heard the vocal and decided that an acid line with the vocal would really push the song to another place and that’s what Roughion did.

 “Producers, promoters, remixers, and live electronic outfit, Roughion, have always pushed boundaries with their music, always defying expectation, and exploring unusual collaborations, thoughts and styles" - Bethan Elfyn

Roughion come in strong with an absolute club weapon for their first release of 2023. 

Played out in clubs all over the UK and further afield including some heavy dj support it's one to turn some heads peak time with this Welsh language house number. 

Haunting vocals, thumping baseline, arpeggiated top lines that drives the song forward, Uwchfioled which means Ultraviolet in welsh is a song that talks about love and sending letters with hidden meanings.

Space Out  - Roughion x De Louet feat Mc Elijah Black

Roughion is an electronic music duo from Aberystwyth, Wales, comprising artists Gwion Ap Iago and Steffan Woodruff.

Known for their dynamic live performances, they seamlessly blend elements of house, techno, and trance, creating immersive soundscapes that captivate audiences. Beyond their original productions, Roughion is also recognized for their work as remixers, producers, and promoters, contributing significantly to the Welsh electronic music scene. Their commitment to pushing musical boundaries and fostering local talent has solidified their reputation as innovators within the industry.

The album Wired and Wonderful has been in the works for about 7 - 8 years and has had many different songs and variations throughout. One thing that has stayed is the vibe of the songs and the energy that surrounds them. From the dynamic and driving tones of Bleep Test to the somber sounds of Y Dyn, this album comprises two halves, the party and the hangover. There's something for everyone that enjoys the sound of a synthesiser in this album. We hope you like it as much as we liked making it.
