DJ Romain
DJ / Producer
When Romain was 8 years old he found himself
digging thru his mothers Collection of 45’s, that consisted
of such artists as Diana Ross,The Supremes, The moments, James
Brown, The 5th Dimension & mostly late 60’s &
early 70’s Records. By the time he was 13, Romain was
buying his own 45’s with the money his mother gave him.
In high school Romain started going to a
lot of out door parties to listen to the DJ’s play.
Romain knew from that moment on, he wanted to play music as
well as creating it. Romain then started going to
clubs like Paradise Garage & Club Zanzibar where he was
influenced by the sounds of Larry Lavan & Tony Humphries.
He then started playing at local clubs and private parties.
Romain got his big break Opening
up for dj Smash at new york’s famous after hours underground
club called “Save The Robots” and in six months
became the resident DJ. After a few years there, he got hired
by other NY clubs as resident DJ such as Palladium, Limelight
Tunnel, Club Exit, Centro Fly, Sound Factor Bar, and played
many times as guest DJ along side dj’s Francois K. Joe
Clausell & Danny Krivit at Body & Soul from “97
to 2000”.
In the late 90’s he started getting
noticed more and started to get dj bookings around the world.
Romain decided to start producing his own records
and releasing them. His first release was on Strictly Rhythm
records in 1991 called “Get Your Thang Together”
under the alias EMENAR 1. Romain then went on to release his
work on many other labels in the US and Europe.
In 2000 Romain started a label with
superstar dj & producer Jon Cutler called “Metro
Trax ” where he released his world wide smash hit “Philly’s
Groove” which got major air play on UK’s Radio1
by Danny Rampling and was produced by Danny Krivit and himself.
Romain then went on to release such hits on metro trax as
“Respect The Music” feat. E-Man, “Body Movin”
feat. Phillip Alexander & “To The Beat Y’all”
feat. Eric Niese from M.T.V’s “Real World”.
Then in 2003 Romain went on a solo venture
and started another label called “Nu Faze”
Records. This is where he started developing
artists like Danil Wright “Take Me 4 A Ride” and
Lorenzo Tyler “Its Real”. He then met artist Darryl
D Bonneau and that collaboration churned out another smash
underground hit called “It’s the Spirit”.
That same year Romain was invited twice by dj Danny Rampling
to play with him at “The Cross” in London. Rampling
liked Romain’s style of djing and heard him play a remix
of “Love Is The Message" (M.F.S.B) by Romain, and
liked it so much that he used it and “Philly’s
Groove”on his last C.D mix for Defected called Break
For Love”.
In 2006 you will be hearing
much more of dj Romain, his “It’s the
Spirit” will be on the “Soul Heaven” complilation
mixed by Louie Vega.
You can catch Romain this year on
tour in Europe & japan as well as releasing much more
slamming hits for 2006 and beyond....
