Anthony Moore, best known as the house producer and singer Romanthony, has passed away at age 46. Romanthony’s death was confirmed by his sister Mellony Moore via Facebook. Moore reportedly passed away at his home in Austin, but the cause of death is unknown.
Romanthony launched his career as a producer in New Jersey, and ran his own label Black Male Records in the early 90s. He released four of his own records over the years: Romanworld (1997), Instinctual (1999), Live in the Mix (1999) and R.Hide in Plain Site (2000). Romanthony was perhaps most widely known for his collaborations with Daft Punk as a vocalist on the songs “One More Time” and “Too Long”. In a 2001 interview with Remix Mag, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk said:

Libyans started playing in Boston in 2007, and have since become a staple in punk communities locally and nationally, playing self-booked shows at basements, warehouses, zine libraries, and other DIY spaces regularly over the years. In 2010, the band released a debut record A Common Place, which they will now follow up with Expired Language in August via Sorry State Records. The first single is “Rite Of Passage”, a hardcore-spirited melodic punk track that conveys a sort of universal rage through its abstract lyricism about subverting societal traditions: “It’s stubborn, blunt, old fashioned, some archaic rite of passage,” shouts singer Liz Panella. “You’ll hear no language only common grunts and double standards.” Below, you can stream the track and check out a video by bassist Aaron DeMuth, too.
