RIP Romanthony & Rauhofer
Surprised to hear of two house producers deaths over the last day or so – Romanthony aka Anthony Moore, better known as the vocalist on Daft Punk’s greatest moment ‘One More Time‘ (I’m not big on their dancier tunes, but that STILL does the business, and is a classic tune) has died earlier this month.…

Moustaches, beards, accordions, kilts and gypsy punk…what’s not to like? Having checked out a fairly…
