-Louis Romégoux - Chansons de l'Eyrieux EP (released 2007 on Opus Creations)
"The first I heard of Louis Romégoux was as part of keys-led Sheffield outfit Watch This Fire Spread. However, this solo demo consisting of five studio tracks and a couple of live offerings is a different affair altogether. The simple combination of just one man and a musical instrument can sometimes equal so much more than the sum of its parts, as is the case with Romégoux. Song writing and vocal talents that far exceed his years pay credit to the early classical training. And these acoustic gems do not stick with just a guitar. Romégoux, you see, has also tamed the piano, banjo and accordion, the latter of which makes a haunting appearance on fourth track The Last Journey Home. The obvious comparison for Romégoux is with the great Jeff Buckley; however this is no copycat performance. Romégoux breathes his own style into his music and is a real promise for the future of acoustic music. Romégoux is a huge breath of fresh air from any of the acoustic twaddle that reaches the charts."
Mark McIntosh, Sandman Magazine, April 2007 Edition
-Fall From Grace (self-released first solo debut demo - 2005)
"...a kind of Baroque English folk song melting into an early 1970s hippy vibe...the vocals are somewhere between baritone and tenor with a richness that sounds like it comes from a 40 year old guy who has controlled his smoking and has half a lifetime of emotional experience - not from an unassuming 18 year old", Andy Wood, http://www.soundaloud.com
"With a cut to the chase lyrical talent he is here to remind us that a guitar and a single voice can make us feel much more than a fashion statement. For his age Louis is a prodigynothing short of astounding", Sandman Magazine Sheffield, JULY 2005 DEMO OF THE MONTH
Lost EP (self-released second solo demo - 2006)
"With an amazing musical talent, the name of a French duke and a voice so powerul it literally glues your ear to the speaker, Louis Romégoux's Lost is an amazing ep. Imagine Jeff Buckley with even more romance, a touch of medieval folk and added church music influences. Stand out track is definitely 'Hotel Hardship', a bashing banjo and accordion romp which hasn't been out of my iPod since I fell in love at the first listen. Although Romégoux's immense obvious musical talent is to be desired, it's definitely his remarkable voice that speaks through the collection of magnificently crafted songs. And he's only 19! Beautiful" reviewed by KB, in Sandman Magazine Demos section, June 2006 edition

DJ Andros is introducing his radio show, called "Musica Progressiva" on the internet radio station Liquid. FM. On every first Monday in the Month he will present DJ's playing Progressive and House Music. The next guest I am inviting the Norwegian DJ Mikkas and the Danish Lars B better known as Djuma Soundsystem. A couple of years ago, in the midst of all the etnic inspired cliche' Ibiza compilations and all the afro-house, Mikkas and Lars B sat down with Their friend Disse and asked themselves this question: is it not possible to make something less cheesy that still works on a floor? The result they came up with was "Les Djinns", and Djuma Soundsystem was born. "Les Djinns", the most sold track on Beatport ever...
The next show will start on Monday 7th July 19:00 - 21:00 CEST (GMT+2)
