We believe Phonat is the most exciting and fresh sounding new breaks talent we have heard for a very long time. His debut release “One Million / Machine Noise” has been getting awesome feedback.
Over the past year Heavy Disco has made a name for itself as one of breakbeat’s best break-through Labels (2005 Breakspoll Awards nomination) with outstanding releases from Hexadecimal, Infekto, and LBJ, to name but a few. With the phenomenal cross-over success of Medcab ‘Dance’, Heavy Disco have shown that they not only have a knack of breaking forward thinking new music but can also smell out a hit when one presents itself.
Heavy Disco strives to reflect the diversifying tastes of International breakbeat/electro and is pleased to announce the debut release by Phonat, a phenomenal new talent who we
are confident is one of the most exciting and fresh sounding new producers we have heard for a long time.
‘One Million’ and ‘Machine Noise’ are the work of Italian based Michele Balduzzi aka Phonat.
Holed up in Florence, this exciting young producer is a hot club tip from Italy and breakbeat’s answer to Daft Punk. With influences including, and not limited to, Chemical Brothers, Cassius, Motorbass right through to Wu-tang and the Beastie Boys, Phonat’s uncompromising style
takes his music to a new dimension unique to only his productions.
Both tracks are a melting pot of frenzied electro percussion, crisp breaks with sparse digital tweaks and samples all held together with enough funk to satisfy the ladies but tough enough synth-basslines to keep the lads happy. Phonat has crafted a tasty 2-tracker that wouldn’t sound out of place on any dancefloor. From the cooler funk-fuelled floors of ‘Air’ and ‘Chew the Fat!’ to the big room frenzy of ‘Fabric’ and sweaty nights at ‘Breakbeat Connection’ these tunes are gonna
blow!
