Born in 1970 in Jakarta, he's a grandson of the respected late 1st President of Indonesia. Aged 13 he began his first musical journey by taking drumming lessons from his father. By the time he was 17 he had been a key member in a New Wave Band, then later, a Jazz Band. In 1989 he made a fateful move to London for 3 years to study at university, and was sucked into the acid house movement that was xploding around him. Clubbing regularly in London and the home counties rave’s he witnessed DJs like Danny Tenaglia, Frankie Knuckles, Sasha, and Paul Oakenfold, and he knew that when he returned to Indonesia in 1992 that the story would simply have to continue and the sound had be taken back home with him.

Soon after his arrival and armed with a large collection of records he immediately started throwing Jakarta’s first ever house music parties and spurned the very beginning of the underground in Indonesia. Slowly the scene built up around him and others began DJing too, and it wasn’t long before he had secured his first residency at club “B1” with DJ Naro & Irwan at 1993. and 1995 he was organizing his own rave’s; “Warehouse 41”, “Depth of the Ocean Sound”, “Puncak Flight”, and “Warp” DJ Romy quickly began producing his own tracks, and by 1997 was playing live with his midi and sampling equipment alongside playing records.

By 1998 he created “1945 Music Factory” and was Djing and throwing parties in all the main clubs in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Bali. Residency offers started pouring in and in Y2K he was asked to be the main resident at the brand new and much talked about Jakarta club; Retro” which he committed himself to for one year. Since Y2k he’s arranged for several international guest DJs to perform at his events, Justin Drake and Clive Henry (Peace Division), Circulation, Mark Luv’dup and Parks and Wilson and Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Budrigge, Flash Brother, Rich Harvey, Terry Francis, Nico Deceglia, Adrian Champion, 16B, Scott Mac, more dj’s have all joined Romy behind the tables. He’s continued DJing and playing all over Indonesia and had his own weekly, 4-hour radio show on 87.6 FM in throughout 2001. And last years spin at NUOVO K.L along side with Gabriel,Alam & Yansi Naturally over the years Romy’s musical style has varied, playing Tech House Tribal Techno, Tribal Progressive,to Deep House, however his current sound could be described as Techy, Tribal or Tribal Techno– depending on when and were you hear him. Romy’s commitment and influence over the Indonesian Club scene is second to none and he continues to steer and lead the scene from the front.

Now as the scene matures he’s trying to push the UK/US “Tech House” sound to the clubs bit by bit. Also producing some track which one are already sign by”The Essential Urban Collective Asia CD” and also played by few club’s in Jakarta,Singapore,KL.
