Phonat - "Ghetto Burnin'"BUY NOW! http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/phonat/id330762563
Have laptop - will travel. 7 ft Italian seeks new home for musical adventures
21 year old Phonat -- who has arguably the biggest hair in dance music - readies his first full release, 'Ghetto Burnin', featuring the vocals of Yolanda Quartey (who's currently touring with Massive Attack).
A hot tip at the beginning of 2008, Italian-in-London, Phonat, continues to curry favour amongst the world's 'muso' community. Annie's Mac and Nightingale championed his debut single for MofoHiFi, the 'Incredible Sound EP', plus other radio shows at Radio 1, Kiss, and Galaxy, and a whole host of DJ supporters. This notoriety had led to his remixes being included on compilations from Kitsune, Global Underground, and more.
Enticed by our fair capital's club and music scenes, he recently packed his bags, and with nothing but a change of clothes, an old laptop, and his guitar, said goodbye to rural Italy and landed in a bed sit in Canning Town -- it's the stuff electric dreams are made of.
His original, EU-phoric mix of Italian, Brit and French sounds makes for exciting ear candy, and so far, tastemakers have been like kids in a sweetshop, grabbing as many of Phonat's productions and mixes with the zeal of Augustus Gloop. Recent remixes include Sonny J, Supermal, DJ Dan, The Young Punx and Andy Hunter.
'Ghetto Burnin'' features his characteristic addition of crunching guitars with an electro twist, and Yolanda drops a hooky, ragga-style vocal on top to give it that Lahndon sound. Already a firm favourite on both legal and pirate airwaves, this is fast picking up club support.
Remixes come from label buddy Sharooz, who brings a more minimal hat to the party, delivering a club-destroying beast of a mix, while Mohito takes a bow to early Italo house and drops a piano led version to great effect.
