Rooler at ZAI Las Vegas

Artist Profile

About Rooler

Rooler, the stage name of Christopher Rossi, is an Italian-born DJ and producer who has established himself as one of the most recognisable names in contemporary hardstyle through a career built entirely on the strength of his productions rather than industry positioning. Beginning as a bedroom producer and enthusiast of the hardstyle genre, he developed his craft independently before his releases began accumulating the kind of streaming numbers and DJ-set placements that indicated genuine genre momentum. His productions — including established tracks such as 'Watch Your Back' and 'Survive The Streets' — became fixtures in hardstyle DJ sets and festival programming across the European circuit, demonstrating a compositional approach that resonated with the genre's core audience without diluting the intensity that defines hardstyle's identity. The wasteLAND stage at EDC Las Vegas, operated by Basscon, is Insomniac's designated home for the hardstyle and rawstyle community within the festival — a purpose-built environment that draws the genre's North American and international fanbase, creating one of the few North American festival contexts where hardstyle receives the same production investment and crowd intensity as the EDM mainstrages. Rooler's EDC Las Vegas 2026 wasteLAND booking places him among the genre's international touring circuit at its most high-profile North American showcase.
