Rony Rex just dropped something that feels like a late-night group chat turned into a full-blown dancefloor moment. EE-OO, the new single from his upcoming EP, arrives with GOBLIN in tow and zero interest in playing it safe. The track is pure club-ready dance pop loaded with mischief, flirtiness, and the kind of playfulness that makes you want to lean in and see what happens next.
GOBLIN is the secret side alias of Finnish-Canadian singer-songwriter Erika Sirola, and the pairing works. The production sits right at the crossroads of Y2K-inspired electro pop and fast house, filtered through the chaotic energy of current internet culture. Think the attitude of COBRAH colliding with the world of Shygirl, then handed over to Rony’s own take on the new-generation rave movement. It’s queer-coded, cheeky, and built for rooms that want to move.
Rony Rex has spent more than a decade earning his place as one of Finland’s top dance music tastemakers. The Helsinki-based DJ, producer, and radio host has never been the type to do things the expected way. He’s played sets while taking a cold plunge, has a cow named after him, and has gone back-to-back with reindeer. Those stories aren’t just quirks. They match the lighthearted approach that runs through his music. His journey has taken him from Finland’s biggest festivals to stages at Plastic in Milan, London’s Ministry of Sound, and CREAM in Tokyo.
His sound has grown into an exploration of house mixed with club and bass music, while still flirting with indie dance and hyperpop aesthetics. That range shows up in the people he’s worked with. Collaborations with girli, Ravenna Golden, Nakamura Minami, TT The Artist, GFOTY, Carla Monroe, Madge, and Dances have helped him reach beyond the usual circuits. Support from names like Diplo, Fatboy Slim, and Anna Lunoe has followed. Brands including Yves Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney have used his music, and one of his tracks even found an unexpected second life in China when the Gas Gas Remix of “Fucked It Up” went viral on TikTok and crossed 100 million streams on NetEase.
EE-OO feels like a natural extension of that path. It keeps the joyful, high-energy spirit Rony is known for while leaning into the playful, internet-native side of modern club music. The track is the next single from his upcoming EP, and it arrives at a moment when dance floors are hungry for music that feels both familiar and slightly unhinged in the best way.
