1945 Music Factory is the best and the biggest management by far in
Indonesia. I was a member in 1945 MF from 2000-2004 enjoying everyday
of the time, building and shaping my skill there, with the best “guru”
of indonesia’s dance culture, DJ Romy. The music direction was clear
and strong from the beginning, the philosophy was to build dance music
is so strong, thanks to 1945MF now we could enjoy the big dance
culture, reconstruction, aquasonic, series of parties at pelabuhan
ratu, just to name a few of legendary parties presented by 1945MF. So
many best moments i shared with 1945MF... Well, every weekends!
Sharing decks with every single member of 1945MF Romy, Dade, Didi, And
all the big line up! Always the biggest fan of 1945 Music Factory!

My testimonial about DJ Romy:
Without a doubt he’s truely one of the pioneer of EDM in Jakarta and surely he’s also been responsible for the growth of Indonesian’s dance scene.
Personally i knew him very well for at least 10 years. Since he went back from United Kingdom, later he became one of the resident of one of most well known clubs in Jakarta: B1(RIP), alongside with my good lads: DJ Remy Irwan, DJ Achdiyat and DJ Naro.
Later, we became a very good friend, sharing informations and thoughts about how to advancing the dance crowd, not merely in Jakarta but the whole country.
He was also have a well known-respected EO: 1945 MF which is one of the early EO in Indonesia that have made loads of some successfull rave parties such as Aquasonic, 777, etc which I was taking part in some of those as well. Also,many of great talented Djs,producers,VJ’s,and MC’s are also join on his “kingdom”.
In additional, he also has been releasing loads of great singles and albums, which has been well known and has been remixed and rotated by international dj such as Funkagenda, Tony Thomas, and of course it has been everywhere..worldwide!
Finally, it was my great honor to learn,share some ideas and have him as one of my very good friend. We love you Romy..keep it rolling matey..
Massive Respect,
Deny

Bagi gue Romy Soekarno adalah salah satu senior, pelopor, awal mula dance scene dan dance culture di indonesia. Gue respect ama Romy jaman BC bar dan retro, dia kentel bgt bawain filtered disco. Dan Romy serta lable 1945mf yg dia dirikan membuat rave party (ketika rave ini msh jarang bgt!) di sentul dan anyer yg sgt seru. Gue skrg sgt salut ama Romy krn konsistensinya dan kontribusinya di dunia electronik indonesia bukan hanya sbg dj, tp jg sbg produser handal. Bisa kita liat dr nol dia membangun 1945mf dan dance scene indonesia pd umumnya, sampe jd terdengar di luar negeri. Gue dan junko akan selalu support. Salut dan sukses terus buat Romy!
Thank you Guys for the testimonial..
Cheers,
DJ Romy
