FANGO Vinyl & CDs

Review: Venice-based artist Fango has a home studio out in the sticks and also works as part of a live band, but when not doing that he crafts juicy, fulsome and funky upbeat techno. Maschio is a young label that taps him up for just that here and 'Primavera' is what he offers in return - it's a chunky tune full of bright chords and happy pianos - sort of like a French filter house version of techno - all fizzy loops and fuzzy lines that are in a constant upward arc. A similarly smiley Dritto remix completes this tidy two-tracker.

Review: Fango lives in Venice in the middle of nowhere and works in a home studio when not practicing with his live band of the same name. He has been serving up his own take on techno for over a decade now and that vast majority of it has come on Degustibus Music.This is his first EP for a while and as ever it is well designed and atmospheric. All three cuts will work their magic on floors filled with serious techno heads and once more this is Fango in fine form.
