UPFRONTBEATS

Flashmob Records presents House Flashmob Volume 1 sees a whole host of artists welcomed on to the burgeoning Italian imprint. Curated by Flashmob, who sees the label as a platform to push emerging talent, the release features six original tracks from a host of up-and-coming underground artists.

First up, Spaniards Javi Bora & Melohman get things rolling with techy percussion on ‘Black Forest’. Mirco Berti offers up ‘Seductive’, a punchy jacking bassline, while Federico Ambrosi’s synth manipulation and drum machine work on ‘Space Bubbles’ is a real treat. Croatian-duo Ressless debut ‘Appetite’, is a dancefloor-ready banger and Dubrovnik’s ‘Rohm’ has a dark undercurrent that’s lifted by soaring chords. The sixth and final track comes from Mauro Venti, who lets rip on ‘House Maker’, laying down an acid jam over a classic four/four foundation.
