Planningtorock

Jam Rahuoja Rostron (born 25 January 1972), known by their stage name Planningtorock, is an English electronic musician and record producer who lives in Tallinn, Estonia.

[7] In 2010, Planningtorock collaborated with The Knife and Mount Sims to write an opera for the Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma.

[8] Rostron worked as the sound designer and composer for the Bruce LaBruce film The Bad Breast; or, The Strange Case of Theda Lange in 2010.

Planningtorock co-wrote the song "Answering Machine" from the album From the Cradle to the Rave by DFA label-mate Shit Robot in 2010.

In an interview with Resident Advisor, Rostron stated: "Last summer after touring W, I had a bit of a creative meltdown and wasn't sure about making music any more—then I wrote 'Patriarchy Over And Out', and suddenly the goal of the next album became clear".

They also revealed that in the spring of 2012 they set up a studio space with Olof Dreijer (of The Knife), Hermione Frank (also known as rRoxymore), and Paula Temple.

The six songs found on PlanningtoChanel originate from a collaboration between Planningtorock and Chanel sound director Michel Gaubert which soundtracked the Parisian fashion house's Autumn-Winter 2020 show earlier that year.

On 22 June 2021 Planningtorock announced Gay Dreams Do Come True, a new EP on Human Level that was conceived in the aftermath of getting married, and celebrated the all-consuming joy of their queer love and the sense of belonging and safety that can came with it.

Their collaboration, "Queer", was described as "a regal, fist-in-the-air anthem set to a gargantuan gothic trap beat" in Philip Sherburne's Pitchfork review of Alejandra Ghersi's extensive album project.

A Planningtorock remix of Moby's cover of "Heroes" by David Bowie was included on the Reprise - Remixes album released on Deutsche Grammophon in May 2022, which saw a cast of modern producers from house, techno, ambient and modern classical circles rework music from the US artist's 2021 album Reprise.
