In Focus brings you a talented upcoming artist that has earned a spot on our radar. We’re scoping out these rising stars from every city, style, and scene.
IN FOCUS: Phonat
WHO IS PHONAT?: Michele Balduzzi, evidently a 7-foot tall Italian man.
HAILING FROM: Florence, Italy
DIG IT IF YOU LIKE?: The M Machine, MitiS, Purity Ring
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?: Phonat just dropped his newest EP “Identity Theft,” and we can’t stop listening!
Released on both OWSLA and MofoHifi Records, the EP contains 6 unique tracks on the slower side of electronic music. According to OWSLA, “Identity Theft” has “some of the most beautiful downtempo laidback electronic vibes” they’ve ever heard.
It took Balduzzi 2 years in London to finish the EP, resulting in a game changer for Skrillex’s label and for Phonat himself.
