About / アバウト
A product of the same progressive house scene that also gave rise to deadmau5, Estonian electro-noise savant Mord Fustang was born Rauno Roosnurm in in Tallinn. A classically trained pianist inspired early on by classical works, as well as prog rockers Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, he was a member of garage bands, playing self-taught guitar; began working on a solo career in his teens, experimented with Propellerhead's Reason—the discovery of his own personal sound came soon after.
Combining pop, house, IDM churn and melodies taken from a Super Nintendo with wide-ranging samples, Mord's music epitomized all things electronic music.
He debuted in with a handful of singles, and remixes for the likes of LMFAO and Morgan Page. He quickly became a global attraction, known for a DJ-live performance show from Ministry of Sound to Coachella.
Early success laid the foundation for in 1, his debut album. Since Mord has been releasing material via his Dawn of Light imprint, including adventurous singles and numerous albums, one of the most notable as well as his personal favorite being 's The Symbolism of Everything.
Mord's second huge passion is video games, so it's only natural that he's brought his two passions—music & video games—together for iconic games Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Beat Saber.
He has worked on sound design projects for Arturia and Ashun Sound Machines, further demonstrating there are still sides of his personality yet to be unveiled.
First Singles and Debut Album
Mord Fustang burst onto the scene in and broke through with a blast of singles like “The Electric Dream,” “Lick the Rainbow,” “Milky Way,” “Magic Trooper,” “Champloo” and “Taito.” Originally released on [REDACTED], they made Mord Fustang’s reputation for dancefloor-destroying tracks that willfully defied genre rules.
Those original productions, plus slamming remixes for the likes of LMFAO and Morgan Page, led Mord to be voted Beatport’s “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” in Mord went on to become an in-demand global attraction, bringing his devastating, laptop-smashing DJ/live performance shows everywhere from London’s legendary Ministry of Sound to massive festival appearances at Coachella, Electric Zoo, and Ultra Music Festival.
That success laid the foundation for his artist album debut, in 1 — a masterwork that builds on the innovative foundation he’s already built, and trail-blazes into some unexpected zones, too.
According to Mord, in 1 is “kind of a concept album.” Growing up in the small Eastern European country of Estonia, Mord became a video game fanatic — today he claims “70% of my body is made of video games.” Still, the only games available during his childhood were “pirated Russian knockoffs of Nintendo cartridges that had five games and weird hacks like ‘Naked Super Mario Bros.’ The title comes from the random numbers they always had on the plastic yellow cartridges.
The album is a 8-bit homage to the nostalgia I have for those games.” That’s evident in the retro-fantastic electronic driving songs like “Press Start!” (“When you play Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter in the arcade, on the character select screen the timer ticks down until you press start,” he explains) and “Skyward World” (“That’s built around the sound that would happen when you’d pull the cartridge out of old Genesis consoles”) created over the last two years, after which Mord moved from his homeland to Los Angeles.
“It’s cliché to move to L.A., but I wanted to be plastic like everyone who’s here,” he says. “I had nostalgia for the city from ‘90s movies and playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and everything and everyone is here.

I get my weed from the same shop Snoop does!”
The change in environment reflects the ongoing evolution of Mord Fustang. While he laces in 1 with what he calls “classic Mord tracks,” from the 4/4 hands-in-the-air electro-house anthem “Drivel” to the half-time wobbletastic banger “Milky Way Pt. 2,” the album also finds him pushing beyond his boundaries.
Opener “” is a disco-driven floor filler rippling with growling synths and Moroder-esque arpeggios; the chopped-up noises and fractured rhythms of “Skyward World” and “Dopplegangbanger,” meanwhile, reveal his love for electronica iconoclasts Aphex Twin, Mr. Oizo, and Luke Vibert. “I like having messed-up elements,” Mord explains.
“Luke Vibert just smokes joints and does whatever he wants when he composes music — I’m into that.” The variety of textures and styles reveals Mord’s ambition to make in 1 not just a collection of club bangers, but a long form listening experience that works in a variety of environments. “Every track is way different,” he says.
“The whole thing is designed for headphones and the dance floor. What I create has to work on headphones, car stereos, and festival sound systems at the same time.”
in 1’s video game theme proves especially apt as the primitive sounds contained on the bootleg Nintendo cartridges of his youth proved as the first electronic music he’d ever heard.

At age of 8, he entered Kose music school, becoming a piano prodigy thanks to his command of complex works by Mussorgsky and Rachmaninoff. But classical music wasn’t his only thing. Inspired by both prog rockers like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, Nine Inch Nails’ industrial churn, and omnipresent hits by The Prodigy and Moby, Mord started making beats on PlayStation’s “Music ” His life-changing epiphany happened at age sixteen, however, when he discovered Deadmau5’s “Faxing Berlin” — providing a path for him to merge his passion for technology (Mord studied IT for a year at the University of Tallinn) and musical composition.
“It was simple, but the individual sounds were so clean and good,” Mord recalls. “Hearing that, I thought, ‘I can do this.’ I put some tracks on SoundCloud and randomly called myself ‘Mord Fustang,’ and that name just stuck!” That off-the-cuff decision was just the opening salvo in the unlikely journey that has led Mord Fustang to turn into not just a dance-music icon, but the complex artist that in 1 represents.
