21st Century Electronic Music

Worakls

Worakls (real name Kevin Rodrigues, born September 28, 1988, in Paris, France) is a French electronic music composer, producer, and live performer known for blending orchestral composition with melodic techno and house. He started playing piano at just three years old and trained in classical music before moving into electronic production in his late teens. 

What sets him apart is his hybrid sound, lush strings, cinematic arrangements, and driving electronic rhythms. His influences span classical composers, film scores, and techno, which explains why his music often feels like a movie soundtrack built for the dancefloor. 

In 2014, he co-founded the label Hungry Music alongside N’to and Joachim Pastor, helping define a wave of melodic techno coming out of France. A major turning point came with the creation of the “Worakls Orchestra”, where he performs his compositions live with a full ensemble—bridging club culture and classical concert performance. By the mid-2020s, he had signed with major labels like Decca Records and Polydor Records, expanding his reach globally.
