Flashmob ‘The Lone Brazilian’ (HOT CREATIONS)

Flashmob alias Alessandro Magani is somewhat of the man of the moment when it comes to peaktime rollers that make the difference on the floor. The mighty Italian delivers a masterful two-piece assault on his Hot Creations debut, entitled The Lone Brazilian. 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. The track is a bit of a grower, but if you give it a try, it will satisfy you via its reactions. On the flip, ‘Lower Level’ supplies a deeper trip. A tight, assertive drum track counterparts a short, wandering bassline to form a settled, rolling feel. This is another winner from the busy man and of course for the Hot Creations family.
