rRoxymore’s music is an intriguing, one-off blend of contrasting textures – organic and synthetic, icy and warm – a fresh step in dance music.

With her reputation now intact, Frank quickly found new friends and allies in the vast musical landscape of Berlin. Regular sets (both live and DJ) at local favorites like About Blank and Berghain accompanied gigs all over Europe and jaunts to further reaches. Recognized as an artist future-oriented ideas in a musical capital, she has been presented abroad as part of the Berlin Current initiative – presented by CTM Festival, Berghain, Boiler Room Berlin, The Quietus and others.
2015 saw the release of Decon/Recon #1 – her collaborative project with Paula Temple, Oni Ayhun (Olof Dreijer from The Kife’s solo project) and Aquarian Jugs (that’s Planningtorock under a different name) – and their subsequent tour of Mexico, organized by Germany’s worldwide cultural institution the Goethe-Institut. She also released her second solo EP of more polished grooves, Tautologies, at the end of 2015, via Macro, the label operated by Stefan Goldmann Hard Wax’s Finn Johannsen – more influential Berlin allies. With the press now watching her every move (4/5 review for Tautologies from Resident Advisor and a Mix of the Week from FACT Magazine, among other recent celebrations), 2016 will see the release of a limited edition, experimental cassette release and, eventually, a new EP.
