RØZ

About

Artist and producer duo RØZ, comprised of Manolo Cabrera and Hugo Lara, has rapidly emerged as one of the most innovative forces in Mexico’s electronic music renaissance. In less than three years, the project has evolved from digital experimentation to selling out major venues, redefining the expectations of Latin electronic music with a fluid, boundary-breaking sonic identity. Manolo Cabrera began his artistic journey inspired by the cinematic world of large-scale electronic festivals – specifically, the Tomorrowland films that first awakened his fascination with dance music. Early explorations led him through trap, Tropical House, and Future Bass, releasing early work on SoundCloud as he developed his voice. Hugo Lara’s path started in classical music. At just four years old, he played violin to the works of Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. In his adolescence, artists like Skrillex pulled him toward EDM, prompting him to experiment with production through GarageBand – an entry point that eventually enabled his first collaborations with Manolo. The two met in high school, each maintaining their solo projects while constantly exchanging ideas and feedback. “He created sounds with synths that I didn’t know how to make,” Manolo recalls, while Hugo admired the originality in Manolo’s compositions. Their chemistry crystallized after a joint track with Tom & Collins, and the two officially united under the name RØZ, marking the beginning of the duo. Their evolution has been intentional and uncompromising. After an early phase shaped by imitation and experimentation, they found their voice when they decided to reject the “rules” of genre altogether. “When our sound truly changed, that’s when we realized there were no rules,” explains Hugo. This breakthrough sparked a distinctive aesthetic that merges drum and bass, trap, reggaeton, UKG, and electronic textures into a singular style. Their transition to Spanish lyrics in mid-2022 became a key turning point, cementing the
