I’m welcoming another ace German producer/DJ to the staple, Romanto.
Romanto has long been one of the steady presences in German club culture. Since the early ’90s, the DJ and producer has moved fluidly between soul, funk, disco, house and electronica, always guided by a sharp ear for groove and musical depth. While trends have come and gone, Romanto has remained loyal to a warm, organic sound that continues to carry him onto dancefloors around the world.
He began DJing in the German underground in 1992 and soon turned to production. His early track “Smilin’ Faces” put his name on the map, followed by releases on Kosmo/BMG and collaborations with vocalists like Michael Marshall and Eddie Greene. Along the way, his music found its way onto compilations from Ministry of Sound, Rave & Cruise and Global Underground, spreading his soulful, club-ready style far beyond Germany.
You might have caught Happy Dayz in the dub version on Discoholics Anonymous 6. Here it is in its full glory.
