Originally a member of renowned synth-pop outfit La Roux, Fort Romeau—born Michael Greene—went on to carve a singular path by crafting floor-fillers based on popular hits (“Say Something”), moody, emotionally-driven jams (“The Mirror”), R&B-inflected excursions (“I Need U”) and ambient pieces (“Beings of Light”). The London musician’s production style is largely analog with a prominent deep-house influence and often features off-kilter vocal samples. He never fails to elicit suspense and surprise with a uniquely full-bodied, soulful vibe.
