NEW SINGLE ON TRONIC
MARC ROMBOY - FEELIN - OUT NOW ON TRONIC INCL. CHRISTIAN SMITH RMX
The ongoing game of producer ping pong between Christian Smith and Marc Romboy continues with this latest match up happening on home soil for Tronic. The pattern began with Romboy´s "The Overture" which surfaced on Smiths Tronic label last Spring together with a Egbert remix.
The rematch came in the form of Christian Smiths end-of-night smash Pitanga on Systematic which topped the Beatport Techno chart over the end of summer 2011. With the score at 1-1 it is apt that the two long-established tech heavyweights put aside their competitive streak and instead collaborate on this release with Smith remixing Romboys track "Feelin´" now.

Electronic music with a certain piece of soul - reminiscent of old school Chicago/Detroit dance floor insanity - is Marc Romboy’s true passion. Working in electronic music for over almost two decades, Romboy has co-founded and built internationally respected labels and projects, never tiring of coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to push the limits of electronic dance sounds.
At aged five, Romboy was listening to The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd via his parents record collection, at eight he bought his first record ‘The Robots’ by fellow Düsseldorf inhabitants Kraftwerk (“I’ll never forget singing it to our local record dealer, trying to find what it was”). And, at aged ten, Romboy was djing. “I first began to spin records more or less when I was ten. I didn’t know that you called it djing, but I was always keen to play music at the parties of my friends or in my school class.”
Romboy first discovered dance music in the mid 80s via the ‘strange’ Chicago sound that became apparent around him. “I didn’t exactly know the background and roots of this music, but was really flashed when I heard Steve Silk Hurley’s ‘Jack Your Body’ for the first time. I thought this was music from a different universe.”
