Meet RSquared: 1001 Tracklists’ ‘The Future Of Dance’ Artists You Need On Your Radar

RSquared’s rise has been anything but ordinary. What began as a university friendship between Ryan and Rory has evolved into one of the UK’s most exciting electronic acts. Fusing elements of disco, funk, and 80s-inspired groove with the technical precision of modern house, this duo has built a sound that’s instantly recognizable and impossible to ignore.

Their viral breakthrough came just a few months ago when “Fantasy”, an 80s-infused anthem signed to Defected Records, became the soundtrack to the Ibiza Final Boss meme that swept social media.

The track’s global reach skyrocketed, propelling RSquared into the spotlight and earning them widespread acclaim across the electronic community. The duo credit the record’s success to their instinct-driven creative process and lifelong love of retro textures, describing it as both a lucky break and the culmination of years refining their sound.

Their follow-up EP, “Bring That Heat,” continued that trajectory. Inspired by their club-focused roots, the project built upon their earlier track “Listen Baby,” delivering an irresistible mix of heavy synths, catchy vocals, and unrelenting drive. They have shared that the EP was made to capture the energy of their live sets, a sound big enough for festivals but intimate enough to connect on the dance floor.

Now, after earning a coveted spot in 1001 Tracklists’ “Future of Dance” 2025 list and wrapping their debut South American tour, RSquared are showing no signs of slowing down. With appearances at Fabric London, E1, and Nicole Moudaber’s In The Mood event, their momentum is reaching global scale.

For RSquared, this moment marks not just success, but validation, proof that persistence, passion, and creative instinct can still cut through the noise. As they set their sights on the US market and Miami Music Week 2026, one thing is certain: RSquared are not just part of the house movement – they are defining it.
