Phonat - "Set me free (Louis La Roche Reconstruction)" on MofoHifi Records

Italian producer Phonat has been catching the ears of a fair few tastemakers with his last few single and EP releases. Add the likes of Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, Andy George and Pete Tong to the list above and you can see why the lofty Italian has been marked out as one to watch this year.

Now, ahead of his eponymous debut album due out in September, Phonat releases Set Me Free a staccato-synthed stomper of a track, where classic 80s rock vocals provide the support. A standout from the forthcoming album, Phonat hasnt skimped on remixers with the first coming courtesy of Avicii, the latest made man in the Swedish House Mafia. Proving his pedigree Avicii chops vocals and swirls synths to create a hands in the air Balearic bomb, early copies of which are already becoming staples in the record boxes of the more discerning DJ.

Bleeps and basslines are the order of the day on High Rankins re-rub as the dubstep dandy leads listeners to the dancefloor, albeit down a slightly murkier back route, before Louis La Roches Reconstruction adds a tougher, twisted edge to complete the package

With previous singles Incredible Sound, Ghetto Burning and Learn To Recycle Phonat (aka Michele Balduzzi) has showcased his ability to draw on every vein of dance music, from hip hop to house, garage to breaks and left fans eager to hear more. Now with DJ bookings and remix requests coming in from across the world and his album ready to hit the streets, 2009 is set to be a busy year for the big Italian. Not bad for a man who arrived in London from Florence little over a year ago with just a guitar and a five-year-old computer.

I like the very groovey side of this remix, maybe a little weird beside the other remix, but great work nontheless.
