Romain Garcia spent years building other people’s tracks into festival moments before making one of his own. “EURÊKA!,” his debut album, came out October 17, 2025, and it’s built entirely around a single summer that changed his life.
From the classroom to Cercle
Garcia used to teach visual arts before music took over. His break came in 2020, when a demo he sent to Ben Böhmer turned into “Cappadocia,” a gold-certified collaboration on Cercle that put him on the melodic house map almost overnight. France 2 later gave his rise a 90-minute documentary, an unusually big spotlight for a producer who was, until recently, working out of a home studio.
An album built by the sea
That home studio is the whole story behind “EURÊKA!” Garcia rebuilt it steps from the beach in Biscarrosse, on France’s Atlantic coast, and the album plays like an attempt to hold onto the summer he recorded it in rather than let it fade. It’s less a collection of festival peaks than a diary, which is part of why it’s landed as his most personal work yet.
Where to catch it live
The “EURÊKA!” tour kicks off in the US in early 2026 with a coast-to-coast run, followed by dates in India and a full European club tour, including a Paris headline show at the Trabendo in March.
Most people come home from a good summer with a suntan and a slightly embarrassing playlist. Romain Garcia came home with a debut album and a world tour. If that’s what happens when he has a good year at the beach, we’re curious what he’ll do with a good winter.
