Bio – DJ Rometti

Born in Roubaix France, an industrial town on the Northern border of the countries Belgium and France; Jeremy Rometti Hartman was exposed to music early in life. His father an avid guitarist and harmonica player would hold jam sessions with friends at the family’s home. Many types of music including blues, rock and jazz could be found in the family home These were largely made up from Jeremy’s parent’s extensive vinyl record collection consisting of thousands of records. Jeremy and his family permanently moved stateside at the age of 5. At the age of 12 Jeremy received his first guitar for Christmas followed by a couple of keyboards later on in the years. In high school Jeremy played in a couple of start up novice punk bands that would hold practice sessions in several garages. Jeremy played rhythm guitar and seldom sang vocals. It wasn’t until 1991 in a local Richmond nightclub when electronic music was discovered by the inquisitive ears of this teenager. It was an industrial / techno party that inspired Jeremy to his calling. Four years later he purchased his first Technics Turntables, a Gemini mixer as well as vinyl to accommodate his new instruments.

1994
Jeremy spent hours and hours at a time in his bedroom discovering and mastering this new trait we know as deejaying. He soon moved to downtown Richmond VA in 1995 and met other djs with the same interests in music. A couple years later he was playing at different clubs and events throughout the city. Within the 17 years of playing out and experimenting into different genres of underground electronic dance music, Jeremy has molded his own exquisite style across the EDM spectrum. Known for collaborating everything from Drum and Bass to Tech House ensures everyone will apreciate the sounds that disperse from the speakers. Romettti has played in 3 different countries alongside internationally known acts such as Donald Glaude, Bjorn Niclas, BT, Noel Sanger, Terry Mullan, Charles Feelgood, Monk, Frankie Bones, Dj Irene, Josh Wink, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion and Jen Lasher just to name a few. His mix sets can be described as an auditory roller coaster ride with deep minimal phases to builds of peak hour funky goodness that seem to transpire from the energy and emotion he personally brings out of himself. Nevertheless any style can be well accomplished into a seamless set which makes him an all time crowd pleaser.
