Roger Gerressen

Born in Arnhem (NL), raised on early 90’s hiphop in Nijmegen. As a kid, always drawn to making mixtapes and fiddling around with the old records in the attic, but never realizing he’d be ending up creating music and playing records. His passion for movies and hiphop kept him occupied. It took a giant (first) rave on his 18th birthday to see the real potential of house music and his objective was clear. In the years following he got the chance to warm up crowds on a regular basis at the legendary Planet Rose clubnights, which made his hometown Nijmegen an excellent place to develop his skills as a warm up DJ and to obtain a broad taste in music. The dutch town always had a strong history in electronic music, but remained small enough not to be influenced by trends or hypes: a perfect spot to create your own sound and identity, playing alongside the greats. After his first solo releases on the local Wolfskuil Records he co-founded ESHU in 2011. Recognision came after a string of well received solo releases on Fear Of Flying Records (and sub-label SuddenDrop), as well as many collaborations . A few years down the line it was time for a new direction which resulted in starting his own label OGUN Records and a few monikers to provide him with the creative freedom he was looking for. Since he joined Paris based Yoyaku he released music on Joule Imprint, Aku, Yoyaku and on the renowned label Sushitech.
