Harry Choo Choo Romero at Skazka

"I'm a person who tries to change the style in each of my records...and every producer should strive not to repeat themselves..." - says American Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero. Lucky for him, he was born and raised in a musical family. His mother was passionate about Latin rhythms, and his father was an opera singer. Romero was simply destined to become a musician.
Run-DMC inspired Choo Choo (Harry earned this nickname because of the train conductor cap he wore since childhood) to start his DJ career in the late 80s at a nightclub in New Jersey. From the very beginning, Romero was taken under the wing of the production company Millenium Music. Harry worked on their label Grossip Records, creating demo programs.
His first musical work, Soulfuric - 'Urban Turban', was ahead of its time - in it, Romero combined Arabic melodies with house sounds. Strictly Rhythm released this track in 1995, and later Romero wrote another composition for this label, 'Sea of Passion'. Both tracks quickly sold out and made the name Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero famous. Subsequent releases followed on labels Emotive, Sex Mania, Power Music, and Gossip Records. Collaboration with many well-known producers was a very important stage in Harry's career development.
The project Conspirated Mankeys - organized by Romero in partnership with Jose Nunez, released several interesting tracks, among which were 'Cro-Magnon' and 'Electus', released on Subliminal Records. After some time, Romero, Nunez, and Subliminal label leader Erik Morillo formed the trio Ministers De La Funk. This project produced one of the best hits released on Subliminal - 'Believe', featuring vocals by Jocelyn Brown. Under the name The Dronez, the trio remixed famous pop hits like Whitney Houston's 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' and Madison Avenue's 'Don't Call Me Baby'.
Harry's next successful tracks were 'Hazin & Phazin' (Defected) and 'Just Can't Get Enough' in collaboration with Inaya Day (AMPM), which made it to the UK national charts. This was followed by compositions with a deeper sound - 'Beats Vol 1' and 'Beats Vol 2', with the latter released on Perfecto Records and supported by DJs like Paul Oakenfold and Timo Maas.
Romero has done a fair amount of remixes, including works with Basement Jaxx - 'Bingo Bango' and Modjo - 'Lady'. Harry has his own label, Bambossa, which is a sublabel of Subliminal. On Bambossa, Romero released his debut single 'So Lonely'.
Subliminal Sessions 7, mixed by Harry Choo Choo Romero, includes tracks by Erik Morillo, Jose Nunez, Praise Cats, Josh Wink, The Crystal Method, and Jark Prongo.
