Search - Phonat :: Phonat

2009 album from the Electronic act. Originally from Florence, Italy, Phonat (AKA Michele Balduzzi) was first spotted by MofoHifi Records on MySpace and they were so impressed with the 21 year old that the loving label bosses persuaded him to leave his parents' idyllic country farm in Florence and move to a bed sit in Canning Town. Armed only with a five-year-old computer and an electric guitar Phonat dutifully relocated to London in late 2007 and the rest, as they say, is history. Drawing on every vein of Dance music, from Hip Hop to House, Garage to Breaks, Phonat's expert use of a vocal hook is also evident, most noticeably on the Yolanda vocalled 'Ghetto Burning' and the single 'Set Me Free', where classic '80s style Rock vocals sit atop a stacatto-synthed stomper.
