Bio :
Roms started to make electronic music at 12 with a Yamaha PSR 510, but he never learned to use it as a keyboard : he used the built-in sequencer to write his first melodies. Then at 14 he buys a second hand Amiga 600 : he discovers sampling, he starts to assemble and mash sounds. At 18 he has his first PC, with an early version of FruityLoops (1.7, more a toy than a studio like it is now), he still works with FLStudio. He made his first livesets at 19 and played in his first big free parties at 21.
In 2003 he joins Le Diable Au Corps, Nout's label. He produced more than 20 vinyls for this label (almost only singles, more than 70 tracks only with LDAC, around 120 including other productions). He also produces tracks for Undergroundtekno.com and Astrofonik records.
He also produces drum and bass, jungle, breakbeat and electro under other pseudos.
He puts computer liveset to another level with his dynamic way to play, always different, full of improvisations but very structured. He plays in many European cities, usually with the biggest names of hardtek and hardcore.
His style is very personnal : complex melodies, tortured synths, crazy breaks, and lots of remixes, either tributes or big jokes. He has become one of the most influent producerof the hardtek/hardcore scene.

Note : now Harry Potar is his nickname for hardtek productions and liveset and Roms is for hardcore.

Sequencer used : Flstudio for production ; Ableton Live for livesets.
Livest config : a PC, a Korg PadKontrol, a BCR2000 made of wood.
