MikeQ confirms:

 

If you’re on social media, you’ve probably seen multiple reports have come in that influential producer and artist Romanthony has passed away.

At this time we’ve been unable to verify this, though we’re trying.

The source of the report appears to have been this Facebook post made five days ago, by vocalist Daone Remmidy, aka Eve Angel:

Our Music Industry has lost yet another pioneer and music legend, I am deeply saddened to Announce the Passing our my Label Owner, Producer, Manager, and Family. Our Beloved World Renowned DJ and Producer Romanthony has passed away. What a great run we had Roman gave me my first break into the Music Industry and introduced me to the world, as Eve Angel. We were working on an amazing project. I will miss him and he will forever remain in my heart. We had a 20 year stint together and he will never be forgotten

Daone was known by the stage name “Eve Angel” and recorded a substantial body of work with Romanthony in the 1990s, including “It’s Not The Same” and “Get It Together”.

Apparently, Daone’s information was not noticed until earlier Saturday evening, when it spread virally. I’ve reached out to Daone and will report back with more details when they’re forthcoming.

  5. […] Der DJ, House-Produzent und Sänger Romanthony ist tot. Anthony Moore, so sein bürgerlicher Name, verstarb bereits am 7. Mai. Das bestätigten seine Schwester und sein langjähriger Kollaborateur, Daone Remmidy alias Eve Angel. 1992 veröffentlichte Romanthony mit Now You Want Me seine erste EP bei seinem eigenem Label Black Male Records, 1996 folgte das erste Album Romanworld. In selbem Jahr lernte der in seiner Heimat trotz Produktionen wie »Hold On«, »The Wanderer« oder »It's Not The Same« nie wirklich zu Ruhm gelangte Künstler auch Daft Punk kennen, für deren 2001er Album Discovery er die Songs »One More Time« und »Too Long« einsang. Ersteres verkaufte sich auch wegen seines Auftritts über vier Millionen mal. Was er zu erzählen gehabt hätte, wenn Daft Punk bereits damals eine The Collaborators-Serie gemacht hätten, wissen wir nicht. Zuletzt hatte er aber Teengirl Fantasy für das Tracer-Albumstück »Do It« seine Stimme geliehen. Mit MikeQ und Boys Noize, die ebenfalls bereits ihre Trauer bekundeten, arbeitete er derzeit an zwei neuen Songs. Alex Ridha dazu auf Twitter: »Romanthony and me were working on such an amzing song together. he said it was the best song he had ever written :(«.     Möge er in Frieden ruhen. [via 5 Magazine & Pitchfork] […]

  10. DAONE DID NOT SING NOR WRITE, IT’S NOT THE SAME AND GET IT TOGETHER AS EVE ANGEL, I DID….KYM DICKSON STILL. I ALSO SANG AND CO-WROTE UP ALL NIGHT WITH ROMAN WHEN HE LIVED IN TINTON FALLS, NJ. JUST WANTED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

  19. too bad this Daone Remmidy is trying to claim to be the vocalist on those classics…rip romanthony…sad that we lost someone so inspirational to so many djs, even sadder that there is a fake tryin to ride on a negative wave… Daone is NOT Eve Angel…

  26. […] There’s an inevitable spike of interest in an artist after he passes, as Romanthony did, tragically, in early May. But the Glasgow Underground remix series from Romanthony’s catalog began with the artist was still with us – and this particular set of remixes had been sent to the plant but on hold since we broke the news of his passing on May 7, 2013.
