Since receiving his first 7'' from Depache mode in 1981, Luis Rozalén has spent the vast majority of his life surrounded by sound, progressing from drums at age 15, to bands, and onto drum machines and synthesisers not too long after.
​
After a string of successful EPs and shows at places like Sonar, Benicassim, and the Soma Experimental Club from 1996 to 2000, he founded Atlas Records, where a long period of fertility came to an abrupt halt, disenchanting Luis from the music industry and causing him to disappear from centre stage until 2009, releasing four complete albums and focusing on his residency at Cassette Club in Madrid during this time away from the mainstream.
​
Since then he has released further productions, played at pivotal locations such as Movement Festival in Detroit, Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, and clubs in China, Korea, France, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
