Great dance music albums \u2013 albums that sound as good on headphones and home speakers as they do on club soundsystems \u2013 aren\u2019t easily made. In a form whose primary aims have been to move dancefloors and to move on, full lengths that thrill the head, heart and the feet with equal power are few and far between. We believe Romare <\/strong>has made one.<\/p>\n

With the gripping shock of the new that announces the best records of the genre \u2013 from Entroducing through Blue Lines to Ambient Classics – Romare<\/strong> has both a singular style, and great deal to say with it. “Projections”<\/strong> comes off like Voodoo Ray reworked by DJ Shadow; its drumming littered with infectious swing, its samples illuminating and attention gripping, its atmosphere pronounced and consistent, and its riffs and hooks heavy \u2013 and unabashedly joyous!<\/p>\n

The album is a heady mix of homage and fresh approach, a statement from a young artist unafraid to revel in his influences, and confident in his own originality. The songs on Projections are homages to elements of American\/African culture in the USA \u2013 which Romare studied academically. Taking his name from Romare Bearden, the well-known cut’n’paste artist \/ collagist, and applying similar techniques to music.<\/p>\n

Romare reimagines the profound cultural impact of the collage technique for a new generation of music listeners. With his signing to Ninja Tune, coming hot on the heels of his excellent 12\u201ds on underground institution Black Acre, and compilation inclusions by Tiga, Bonobo and Brownswood, the stage is set for his debut album. Projections, like the best albums from the dance music world, is informed by scenes and genres but not entirely of them. It\u2019s a self-contained universe that rewards much exploration. Most of all, it\u2019s excited about the possibilities within music, and vastly exciting itself.<\/p>\n
