During the past few years Fairhurst has moved away from purely sample based music, developing his use of instruments in his music and experimenting with different tools, both old and new. These tools include a vintage organ he found in a local charity shop, his dad's old 12-string guitar, re-assembling his childhood drum kit from the 90’s and a tape player which allowed him to start sampling from cassette tape. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP | x2","offer_id":50387094176075,"sku":"1094476","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50387096895819,"sku":"1094293","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50387095454027,"sku":"1094292","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6fde2055-234f-49a8-91ad-9cd05fccc97f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726330360"},{"product_id":"fantasy","title":"Fantasy","description":"\u003cp\u003eRomare releases his new album \u003ci\u003eFantasy\u003c\/i\u003e on his newly minted label, You See. \u003ci\u003eFantasy\u003c\/i\u003e takes a more abstract approach to sampling than his previous work, bringing his own instrumentation and vocals to the fore, while folding elements from 1970s fantasy cinema into his distinctive strain of rhythmic, off-centre electronica and kinetic club music.

In a form whose primary aims have been to move dance-floors and to move on, full lengths that thrill the head, heart and the feet with equal power are few and far between. We believe Romare has made one. With the gripping shock of the new that announces the best records of the genre - from Entroducing through Blue Lines to Ambient Classics - Romare has both a singular style, and great deal to say with it. 'Projections' comes off like Voodoo Ray reworked by DJ Shadow. The songs on 'Projections' are an homage to elements of American \/ African culture in the USA - which Romare studied academically. Taking his name from Romare Bearden, the well-known cut'n'paste artist \/ collagist, and applying similar techniques to music. Romare re-imagines the profound cultural impact of the collage technique for a new generation of music listeners.
