About RÜFÜS DU SOL

Rüfüs Du Sol formed in Sydney in 2010 (originally as Rüfüs in Australia, with Du Sol added overseas to clear a trademark conflict) and spent their first three years grinding through the Australian festival circuit before the 2013 debut Atlas landed at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. The record was warm, hooky and indebted to the deep-house revival happening in Europe at the time, and it gave the band a template they have refined rather than abandoned ever since: real song structures, lived-in vocals from Lindqvist, and instrumental beds built collaboratively between George and Hunt that sit comfortably in both a festival main stage and a 3am after-hours room. Bloom followed in 2016 and pushed the sound brighter and more melancholic at the same time, with Innerbloom — an extended ten-minute cut that the band still close major shows with — becoming the song that broke them in North America once Coachella picked them up. Solace, released in 2018, was the breakthrough that made the arena tour viable. Recorded partly in Berlin and partly in Joshua Tree, it traded some of the polish for darker textures and longer arcs, leaned into modular synthesis and live drumming, and produced the singles Underwater, Treat You Better and No Place. The Solace touring cycle was the one that established the now-traditional Red Rocks residency and pushed the band from theater bookings to arenas. Surrender arrived in 2021 in the middle of the pandemic and met an audience that had been starved of communal dance music for eighteen months. It debuted at number one in Australia, top ten in the US dance chart, and produced Alive, which won the 2022 Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording — their first Grammy and one of the few wins in the category for a band rather than a solo producer. Inhale / Exhale, released in 2024 as a two-part record split into a higher-energy side and a slower companion side, leaned further into the songwriting side of the project and gave the live show a wider dynamic range. Around the music, the band run Rose Avenue, the label and creative collective they co-founded in 2018 with Cassian, Just Her and a small roster of producers who occupy the same melodic-dance lane. Rose Avenue has become a credible imprint in its own right, hosts label nights and one-off events at venues like Brooklyn Mirage and Factory Town, and is now the home base for the trio's own releases as well as a steady stream of guest mixes, edits and collaborations.
