Jens Berents Christiansen (born in 1978[1]), also known as Rumpistol, is a Danish producer and musician, who writes and performs electronic music. He has been releasing music since 2003 and has received positive reviews from magazines such as Intro.de[2] De:Bug[3] and Danish magazine GAFFA. The latter gave Rumpistol 6/6 for his 2008 album Dynamo.[4]

Rumpistol creates music ranging from neoclassical music to electronic music in the electronica-genre with inspiration from ambient, dub, IDM, techno and dubstep, made for both the dance floor and for sitting audiences.

Christiansen also plays keyboards and produces for the band Kalaha[5] and has produced or contributed to releases from Lukkif[6] and collaborating with artists like Baiana System (BZ),[7] Efterklang,[8] Blue Foundation[9] and Indians.[10]

In 2019 Kalaha won Carl Prisen in the category Best Roots Composer (for the EP Mama Ngoma).[11] In 2016 Christiansen co-wrote and co-produced the album Masala[12] which won a Danish Music Award Jazz for Best Special release [13] and was also nominated for Carl Prisen in 2018.[14] In 2016 his music was used for the opening ceremony for the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.[15] Rumpistol has played live at Roskilde Festival (DK) in 2006 and 2009, at MUTEK Montréal (CAN) in 2012,[16] at Multiplicidade (BZ) in 2015[17] at Boiler Room UK in 2012.[18]

Rumpistol has released on several labels including his own label Rump Recordings,[19] The Rust Music,[20] Øen Records,[21] Project: Mooncircle[22] and Iboga Records.[23]
