Fort Romeau


Michael Greene aka Fort Romeau is an electronic music producer and DJ from the United Kingdom.
Born in Chester, Greene grew up in Oxfordshire and went on to study Music and Visual Art in Brighton. After graduating he moved to London and joined electro-pop duo La Roux as part of their touring band.
, has been busy since its debut in 2012, "Kingdoms", throwing EP on labels like Running Back and Live At Robert Johnson, in addition to songs on compilations Rush Hour, Cocoon, Correspondent and Mule Musiq.
His second LP 2015, "Insides" released by Ghostly International, was inspired by an eclectic mix of house, kraut, ambient and techno, and showed further development of its unique interpretation of music dance floor. We can see it live at the Parc del Forum within the DGTL Festival.
His love for music and collecting disks back much further. As a child his father, an avid collector of vinyl records on their trips to fairs and sales records concoctions, he joined digging all weekends from 8 years. And it was quite natural that the collector became the DJ and listener became the musician.
In 2012 Greene left La Roux and released his debut album Kingdoms on US label 100% Silk.
In 2013 he signed with Ghostly International and released his sophomoric LP Insides in 2015, an eclectic mixture of house, kraut, ambient and techno.
Greene has released several EPs on labels such as Running Back and Live at Robert Johnson as well as having tracks featured on compilations from Rush Hour and Mule Musiq.
In 2015 Greene and Ali Tillett set up record label Cin Cin, putting out a diverse range of split EPs from new and established artists alike, including Nick Höppner, Ripperton and Todd Osbourne.
Greene has also released an EP with Massimiliano Pagliara under the name The Violet Hour, on Cocktail D'Amore.
