F.O.O.L. (Fuck Our Ordinary Lives), is the alter-ego of Swedish producer Rasmus Hermansen. Emerging from Eskilstuna, Sweden, F.O.O.L has become synonymous with a sound that seamlessly blends heavy electronic, orchestral, and cinematic elements with the nostalgic tones of synthwave, creating unique signature audio experiences that captivate listeners worldwide.
Active in the European electro craze since late 2009, Rasmus started out under the alias ''Hermansen'' producing progressive house until reinventing and refining his sound, showing his true colours in heavy electronic & synthwave music.
F.O.O.L brings a lot of diversity to the table with a wide ray of musical influence and experience ranging from melodic metal, hip hop to orchestral music. This eclectic mix of influences is evident in F.O.O.L's discography, which spans several critically acclaimed EPs, and his debut LP ‘‘Machine’’ released on November 10th 2023.
F.O.O.L's live performances are a spectacle to behold, combining visual effects synchronized live with his music. Each show is meticulously crafted to provide an immersive experience, taking audiences on a journey through the cinematic and synthwave landscapes that define his sound.
On top of being a household name for over a decade in the esteemed electronic music label Monstercat, F.O.O.L’s unique sound has resulted in a series of tracks that have been featured in films, video games, and commercials.
