In-demand producer Flashmob delivers a masterful two-piece assault on his Hot Creations debut, entitled The Lone Brazilian.

Italian artist Flashmob, real name Alessandro Magano, is a renowned producer and remixer, label owner and touring DJ. Since 2011 he’s released on the world’s biggest labels, such as Get Physical, Defected, Kompakt, Toolroom, Snatch!, to name a few, and now delivers his bespoke sound for Hot Creations.

“I specifically created ‘The Lone Brazilian’ EP” for Jamie because I knew it had that DC10 vibe. The’ EP is my interpretation of current electronic music, it expresses ‘the nomadic life of being a DJ and touring all over the world.”

The EP opens with the title track, fronting a funk-laden bassline and percussive, driving drums. Tribalistic male and female chants break the track up, adding depth to the unfolding journey. Next up, Lower Level supplies a deeper trip. A tight, assertive drum track counterparts a short, wandering bassline to form a settled, rolling feel.
