Rod

Rod, real name Roch Niangandoumou, is a French electronic music producer born in Congo Brazzaville with Senegalese origins. He operates under the alias Rod Niang and began releasing electronic music in 2012. Based in France, Rod has established himself within the underground techno circuit through releases on prominent labels including Klockworks, CLR, Figure SPC, and Afterlife Records.

Rod produces peak time driving techno alongside melodic house and techno, with forays into raw, deep, and hypnotic techno territories. His sound spans high-energy club tracks suitable for peak hours through to more introspective, hypnotic compositions that work in deeper sets. The artist has released ten tracks across these respected imprints since 2012, with his most recent output appearing on Afterlife Records in May 2022. Rod's versatility across techno's spectrum, from the driving Klockworks aesthetic to Afterlife's melodic approach, demonstrates his range within contemporary electronic music production.
