Fort Romeau / BEINGS OF LIGHT

“While a prolific DJ who orients many of his productions for the dancefloor, Fort Romeau still sees the album as the ultimate statement of intent, “a space to stretch out, to speak in full paragraphs rather than stunted sentences.” He has explored several stylistic fragments in recent years (including the summer 2018 anthem “Pablo”), but when faced with the extended pause to the dance community in 2020, Greene felt compelled to focus on a larger body of work.
Embracing a back-to-basics mentality, he amassed over a dozen hours of sounds, asking himself throughout the sessions: “Does the music move you? Is it honest?” He came out the other end with Beings of Light, an expressive collection traversing rainy day ambient, moonlit disco, and dream-like techno in pursuit of the power found within our subconscious.”
