Romanto came up through the German underground in the early ’90s, spinning records before the culture had a name for what he was doing. By ’96, he was producing — not to ride a wave, but to make one. His early cut “Smilin’ Faces” hit dancefloors with a kind of raw elegance, a mix of soul and grit that didn’t ask permission. He wasn’t chasing trends. The records — Agent Style, Six Leaves Left — folded soul, hip-hop, and electro into something that felt lived in, like the echo of a party you wish you’d stayed at just a little longer.
He shared stages with giants, opened for Jamiroquai, lit up the Loveparade and E-Werk, but the music always came first.
Romanto didn’t need flash. Just a groove and a room that could feel it.
Here he takes on a certain Greek beau on German disco impress, Disco Machine Records.
