Join us as we uncover the story behind Rhender’s rise and his vision for the future of the industry.
EG: Hi, Saul! Welcome to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How have you been? Where are you right now?
Rendher: Hi, pleasure is mine! Everything is going amazing. I am in Ibiza right now!
EG: How was your summer? Any particular highlights?
Rendher: It was a movie! The whole summer is a highlight.
EG: Congratulations on the recent Ressels release! What has the initial reception been like so far? How was it that you connected with Ssero & ROWLS? What’s the Ressels project about?
Rendher: ‘Ressels’ started in our studio as I share it with my brothers Cristian (Ssero) and Raul (ROWLS). We didn’t expect anything but sharing the tracks and edits we make for our sets with our fans.
EG: What can you tell us about your NO RELIGION LAB project?
Rendher: No Religion Lab is my baby. We are working on a 360 concept that involves music, events, clothing, and lifestyle. I can’t tell much about it yet, but I can say that it is the most special project I have ever been on.

EG: You have been part of Paco Osuna’s Now Here since 2022, at Hï, but also at other events outside Ibiza and Spain. How did this collaboration come about with Paco?
Rendher: Paco Osuna is the artist I respect the most in the industry. He is a reference for me and for our electronic music culture in Spain. Our relationship started in the most natural way, through the music, as it has to be. He and all his team became part of my family. And I’m glad they feel the same way.
EG: You are scheduled to appear at Paco Osuna’s NOW HERE this September 17th and also on Sept 19th you are performing at Now Here’s Hï Ibiza Full Club Takeover. What can your fans expect from both appearances? On the 19th, will that be your first time at Hï’s Theater?
Rendher: It feels amazing to perform in both rooms. I am in love with the Club Room on Tuesdays; you can’t compare the vibe with any other party on the Island. And I’m super excited about my debut at the Theatre. I was there a few days ago for the first Now Here takeover and it was out of this world. Expect nothing but groove on both dates!
EG: How do you feel about Ibiza right now? What do you think NOW HERE brings to Ibiza at the moment?
Rendher: I love Ibiza and I’m a big fan of all the clubs on the white island. For me, it’s a pleasure to have had the opportunity to play in all the most important clubs on the island. But if you want to live a real clubbing experience, there is only one place you have to go and that is Now Here… nothing more to say.

EG: Finally, what can we expect from Rhender in the next months? Where can your fans catch you playing live next?
Rendher: We have some shows confirmed all over the world: Ibiza this week, Switzerland, Netherlands for ADE, a special show in my beloved London, and my very first ALL NIGHT LONG will be at Hardpop in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
EG: Thank you so much for your time, Saul! We wish you all the best for the future. Take care!
Rendher: Thank you fam! Much love.
