A product of the vibrant progressive house movement of the late 2000s and early 2010s, Estonian electro-noise savant Mord Fustang was born Rauno Roosnurm in 1991 in Tallinn. A classically trained pianist inspired early on by classical works, as well as prog rockers Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, he was a member of garage bands, playing self-taught guitar; began working on a solo career in his teens, experimented with Propellerhead's Reason—the discovery of his sound came soon after. Combining pop, house, video game-inspired melodies, and an eclectic approach to sampling, Mord's music carved out a distinctive place within electronic music.

He debuted in 2011 with a handful of singles and remixes, rising to international prominence through DJ-live performances at clubs and festivals, from Ministry of Sound to Coachella. Early success laid the foundation for 9999 in 1, his debut album. In 2016 Mord launched the Dawn of Light imprint, home to numerous releases. Among these, 2019's The Symbolism of Everything is his most introspective and deeply personal artistic statement, while 2021's TURN TO (')11 has become a fan favorite.

Mord's second great passion is video games, and it has led him to bring music and video games together for iconic games Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Beat Saber. He has worked on sound design projects for Arturia and Ashun Sound Machines, further demonstrating there are still sides of his personality yet to be unveiled.
