Archie Fairhurst (popularly known as Romare) is a UK-based electronic producer. He took the name Romare after the African-American artist and songwriter Romare Bearden.

Some of his first releases were Meditations on Afrocentrism in 2012 and Love Songs Pt. 1 in 2013. DJs like Gilles Peterson and Benji B hugely supported the releases and earned him a deal with Ninja Tune label. Roots/Pusherman single followed in 2014 and the album Projections was seen in 2015.
