Since debuting in 2012, British producer Michael Greene aka **Fort Romeau** has developed a unique take on dancefloor music, fusing elements of house, kraut, ambient, disco, and techno. His love for music and record collecting goes back much further. As a child he would join his father, an avid vinyl collector on journeys to record fairs and jumble sales, digging every weekend from the age of 8 years old. And so it was quite natural that the collector became the DJ and the listener became the musician.

Given that Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns first met as teenagers, it’s a testament to their durability and friendship that more than 30 years later they are still working and producing music together.

He picked up his musical style whilst touring with the Prod in mid 90's - it's a mix of tough Electrobreaks, old skool samples, Hip Hop, rock and electro. It's fundamentally a great mash up of breaks n electro style toons, using plenty of familiar hooks, with a good old skool feel.

Heavy on the electro edge and full of funk that rocks the dancefloor.
