Prestel is proud to present the new single from Romanthony.
For the uninitiated, Roman is the voice of the daft punk classic “One More Time”. He is also the owner of Blackmale Records and creator of dance classics such as “Bring U Up”, “Let me show you love” & “The Wanderer”.
“Curious” is the first in a series of new and re-released material from the New Jersey songwriter & producer. While the lyrics in this song explore the dark, sexually ambiguous side of club life Roman’s production is typically diverse. Aided by Mylo mix engineer, Kevin McKay he delivers four classic takes… The “Sheraton Vocal” is packed full of dark Berlin synths, heavy drums and Johnny Cash style guitar licks – yup it’s another warped slice of Romanthony pop. Imagine him backed by James Murphy and the Sons & Daughters rhythm section and you’re getting there. Providing the good-time balance is the “Controvocal” – a straight-up Prince-inspired disco jam. Lastly, there are two mixes for the mainroom: The “Peakhour” vocal is straight up Ibizan joy, the kind of bumping house cut that would sit right next to James Talk or John Dahlback while the “Tweakd Vocal” ups the energy levels ading some Hardfloor influences to the mix.
Remix comes from one of the leading disco-influenced producers of the day, Treasure Fingers. Already featured on the Discodust blog, this is one of the Atlanta-based producers finest mixes – all skippy beats, high octane synths and vocoder harmonies.
