This week’s ‘Free From Sleep’ mix comes courtesy of ‘Rowana’, and it’s a tightly wound 60-minute session that moves between Hardgroove, Techno and Trance influences—without losing sight of the dancefloor for a second.
Now based in Bristol but shaped by years in the Scottish rave circuit, Rowana’s style is all about driving 4×4 energy, layered percussion, and hypnotic melodies that build and release with real purpose. There’s nothing throwaway here—each transition hits with intention, and the momentum rarely dips.
With recent appearances at Motion and Lakota, and this mix showcasing both her range and precision, Rowana’s rise feels well underway. Definitely one to keep an ear on.
