Artist:	ROMBOY, MARC
Title:	Sunburst
Label:	SIMPLE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	SIMPLE 724EP

"As an artist, producer and label head of Berlin's Systematic Records (amongst others), Marc Romboy has dedicated over a decade of time to pushing forward the boundaries of electronic music, a mission amply continued here with his first release on Will Saul's Simple imprint. Opener 'Sunburst' offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. As the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. Marc also offers a reduced version of 'Sunburst' as a dub to complete the trip. The Alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. Alex and his 909 go to work on Marc's stabs to devastating effect. All hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer."

Title:	Gemini
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	SYST 003CD

This is Germany-based Marc Romboy's first full-length album. If you take a close look at the electronic dance music scene over the last two years, you'll certainly come across the Systematic label. With only eighteen releases out, Systematic already managed to become a firm favorite with many DJs around the whole globe, with releases and remixes from Booka Shade, Olaf Pozsgay, Martin Landsky, John Dahlbäck, Blake Baxter and Zoo Brazil to name just a few. Now, in 2006 Mister Romboy is about to take the next big step by releasing his very first solo artist album Gemini, a truly impressive collection of state of the art electro-flavored house tracks, that he has produced with Stephan Bodzin and 45 Rocks, that will cause a massive stir in the club world! To make it even more special, Romboy invited some A-list musicians to join him: Robert Owens, late '80s Chicago house legend -- member of the history making Fingers Inc. super-group alongside Larry Heard and Ron Wilson, contributed his unique vocal skills to two tracks. Then Detroit legend Blake Baxter, who is already familiar to the Systematic camp, after his most successful collabo with Romboy called "Freakin'' laid down another exclusive killer hookline on "House Ya." Finally, Tommie Sunshine joins the gang, lending his voice to the clashy broadband rave monster "Body Jack." On Gemini, Marc Romboy manages to combine diverse styles ranging from the deeper shades of house over truly intense electroid flavors with the atmospheric side of jackin' boogie beats. Also included are cold crushing synth sounds, the dirtiest bass action ever and perfectly timed drums guaranteed. Altogether a very mature longplayer that simply rocks the format!

Title:	Contrast
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	SYST 007CD

This is the second full-length release from Systematic founder, Düsseldorf's Marc Romboy. After collaborations with John Dahlbäck, Chelonis R. Jones, Jence and Zoo Brazil, Romboy released his debut artist album Gemini in 2006 to great critical acclaim. Romboy has also released on labels including Ovum, Simple, Brique Rouge, Superstition, 20:20 Vision and more. He also regularly collaborates with Stephan Bodzin, crafting tracks that delicately and melodically enhance the experience of listening to electronic music. Contrast is produced in cooperation with 45 Rocks and brings forth vocal collaborations with artists including Chelonis R. Jones, Blake Baxter and Mr. K-Alexi. Embracing the concept of contrasts as part of a new life philosophy, Romboy pits himself against sonorities that seem antithetical to dance music, but flow in total symbiosis, embracing difference. When you listen to the kicking and techy "Sonora" and afterwards to the Detroit techno-influenced "Elif," with its addition of jazz saxophone, it is as thrillingly high contrast as one could get, defining and defying category.

Title:	Contrast (The Remixes)
Label:	SYSTEMATIC (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	SYST 008LP

Systematic presents a high-quality remix package of Marc Romboy's 2008 Contrast album with outstanding remixes from techno-house icons such as Robert Hood, Konrad Black, Dimitri Andreas, D'Julz, and Technasia. The original album was produced in cooperation with 45 Rocks and featured vocal collaborations with Chelonis R. Jones, Blake Baxter and Mr. K-Alexi. These remixes redefine what it means for an artist to contrast his work against another's, whether through restructuring challenging beats, or by using original musical content to question what works and what doesn't on a dancefloor. Some comments on the remixes include: Josh Wink: "All mixes are darn good"; Will Saul: "The Konrad Black remix is a killer"; Anja Schneider: "Wow, nice package, will play it"; Laurent Garnier: "Superb remixes, full support everywhere"; Gregor Tresher: "Amazing package"; D'Julz: "Very cool Robert Hood remix."

This is Systematic Recording's second label compilation. After the successful first edition of Systematic Colours, which was compiled and mixed by Stephan Bodzin, it's now time for the label boss himself, Marc Romboy. Systematic Recordings was founded almost five years ago with its first release Every Day In My Life by Marc Romboy in collaboration with Booka Shade. More than 50 releases by a lot of well-known electric activists such as John Dahlbäck, Blake Baxter, Phonique, Dusty Kid, Robert Babicz and Gui Boratto followed, so that Systematic Recordings became one of the worldwide most reviewed and respected electronic label imprints from Germany. Now it's definitely time to celebrate all this once again and therefore, Marc has mixed a representative potpourri of 16 special Systematic songs in exactly 80 minutes. Other artists include: Chelonis R. Jones, Stefan Goldmann, Ante Perry vs. Babylon Robots, Audio Soul Project, Dimitri Andreas, Kim D, Afrilounge, Stephan Bodzin, Blake Baxter, Hugo & Daniele Papini, Spirit Catcher, D-Nox & Beckers, Gabe, and Oxia.
