off of his self-titled album debuting now, phonat (that guy sounds familiar) gives me another reason to mash some buttons and prepare a super belated post. love hits the fan is the perfect way to open a set. if my car was as cool as david hasslehoff’s, i would have this song play the second i open my door.

phonat (or as his mother knows him, michele balduzzi) is a 21 year old italian producer/sampler extraordinaire. he has recently been gaining incredible momentum worldwide. already touting more than one track on hed kandi’s nu disco compilation and loads of radio 1 airplay, it’s safe to say we will be seeing big things from michele. he is signed to mofohifi records.

his style of cutting and chopping samples is highly unusual. maybe phonat can write a guide. the “how to manipulate an uneditable, already existing vocal/guitar riff, and recreate it into something unrecognizably fresh and new by just replacement” guide. I think I’d buy it! its a skill I can safely admit, as a producer myself, I don’t have nor know where to start. the guide is currently unavailable, but you can buy phonat’s music on beatport or follow him through space.
