ROOTIME

ROOTIME is a French electronic music producer from Nantes, blending nu-disco grooves, synthwave energy and French Touch into dance-focused tracks. Short disco-inspired samples are chopped into loops, pushed through filter and phaser, then repitched and layered over tight four-on-the-floor drums. Latest release: “Hollywood '84”, out via Monstercat on « Monstercat Instinct Selections 01 ». ROOTIME teamed up with Fūji for two releases on Uppwind Records, Uppermost’s label: “Hold On” (2021) and “Endless Bliss” (2023). His music has received support from Lenno, Moe Shop and Uppermost, and has been featured by French Twitch streamer Ponce. Influences draw from a wide palette: the futurism and precision of Daft Punk, Justice’s signature contrast between bright pop color and distorted, hard-edged French electro, Wolfgang Gartner’s punchy drums, and the sample-driven approach of C2C.
