French-born and Miami-based producer Olivier Mateu operates as Rodriguez Jr., an established architect of modern melodic house and techno. Mentored early on by Laurent Garnier and releasing on F-Communications as half of The Youngsters, Mateu has spent over two decades refining a sound built on analog warmth, intricate synthesizer work, and hypnotic rhythms. His extensive catalog includes standout albums like "BLISSS" (2020) on Mobilee and his recent full-length "Feathers & Bones" (2023), released via his own imprint of the same name. Known for his hardware-driven hybrid live sets, he regularly performs at prominent venues such as Fabric in London and Space in Miami, alongside festivals including CRSSD, Lightning in a Bottle, and Burning Man. He frequently collaborates with artists like Stephan Bodzin, Booka Shade, and vocalist Liset Alea, merging organic instrumentation with precise club engineering. By prioritizing emotional resonance and real-time hardware performance, Rodriguez Jr. anchors his work in a deep, enduring connection to the dancefloor.
