Roland Tings

Roland Tings creates electronic music that feels organic, alive, and perpetually in motion. It is a sound defined by shimmering modular synthesis and a rhythmic pulse that sits somewhere between a club workout and a meditative trance. While his roots are in the basement-ready grit of acid house, his evolution has seen him embrace a wider, more panoramic palette that evokes the natural world, specifically the coastline and forests of his Australian home.

What sets him apart is the tactile quality of his production. There is a specific 'wetness' to his percussion and a 'liquid' feel to his synth lines that makes the music feel like it's flowing rather than just playing. He expertly balances the mechanical precision of drum machines with the unpredictable, drifting beauty of analog hardware, creating tracks that feel both technically impressive and deeply human.

Start with his self-titled 2015 debut for a masterclass in modern house, or dive into 'First Wave' to experience his more expansive, atmospheric side. It is perfect music for those moments when you want to feel energized but grounded, whether you are on a dancefloor at 5am or a morning commute that needs a bit of magic.
