Roosevelt is the alias of Cologne-based singer, songwriter, and producer Marius Lauber. Since emerging in 2012 with his debut single "Sea" on cutting-edge UK label Greco-Roman Records, he's been a steady supplier of catchy, summery, 80s-steeped dance-pop with two full-length albums, a handful of EPs, and numerous high-profile remixes now in his catalog. This past fall he displayed the latest evolution in his infectious sound on his sophomore album Young Romance and last month he performed live on KEXP while on tour in support of his new record. He follows up that live performance with this exclusive new guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World and it's a seamlessly smooth journey through house, disco, and tech-house grooves with each track carrying a sleek, hypnotic, kaleidoscopic touch.
