“We're saying it: you may be looking at the best track and best video of 2009, from none other than Phonat"
Italian producer Phonat has been catching the ears of a fair few tastemakers with his last few singles and EP releases. Include the likes of Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, Fake Blood, Steve Aoki, Andy George and Pete Tong to the list 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 on MofoHifi Records, Phonat releases ‘Set Me Free’ a staccato-synthed stomper of a track, where classic 80’s rock vocals provide the support. A standout from the forthcoming album, Phonat hasn’t 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. Trust us, this guy is killing it!

Bleeps and basslines are the order of the day on High Rankin’s re-rub as the dubstep dandy leads listeners to the dancefloor, albeit down a slightly murkier back route, before Louis La Roche’s Reconstruction adds a tougher, twisted edge to complete the package. While your going to love every last peice of Phonat and his remixing-legion's EP, our pick is the Avicii remix - what a winner!
