New Jersey's very own Harry "Choo Choo" Romero makes a triumphant return to Black Book Records with ‘Paradise II’, an inviting house track with shock value that makes for a real moment on the dance floor. Informed by decades of work with Subliminal Records, his own Bambossa records, and numerous classic remixes, the single captures the spirit of the raves that raised him, and asserts why Romero remains a longstanding legend among East Coast veterans. With a career dating back to 1995, Romero makes infectious grooves with his eyes closed. He’s played a key part in what we know house music as today, further validated by Muzik “Remixer of the Year” Award (1999) and Defected’s “House Masters” Series in 2023. ‘Paradise II’ sees Romero leaning back into this signature sound of his from years past, yet reinventing it for a modern context, leaving him reemerging more relevant and iconic than ever. Ecstatic synthwork and nostalgic, spoken word mantras create a euphoric soundtrack for dance floors, reminiscent of the early days of DC10 and Space Ibiza. Jumping on the remix who better than a New Jersey neighbor, Avision, whose percussive twist on the original further drives the pair’s elegant play on timeless aesthetics. Otherwise known as Anthony Cardinale, the young tastemaker uncannily mirrors the early days of Romero’s career, taking his own tasteful strides towards legacy. After starting on turntables at the age of 12 and landing his first club residency at 15, his early education in club culture speaks for itself through his production, binding the past and present of house music into an elegant package. ‘Paradise II’ hits stores on July 12 via Black Book Records. “I couldn’t be more excited to unleash my follow up track to last year’s ‘Fool for Love’ with Leo Wood. This new record has all the ingredients to smack you up, flip you and rub you down. Big ups to Black Book for seeing the vision and bringing me back, thank you!” - Harry Romero
