BRUNO FURLAN Vinilo y CD

Review: Hot Creations comes through with another slab of hot house heat, this time from Bruno Furlan who brings plenty of firey tribalism and Latin energy to his offerings. There are two to choose from with 'La Fiesta' kicking off on the A-side. It's a big, bulky mix of physical kicks and chattery percussive patterns that are coarse and dry and perfect for getting the club in a sweat. Flip it over and you'll find 'Give Me That Bass' which is less straight up and has a little more bounce in its drums. They're rubbery and taught with a fiery vocal up top, plenty of wild effects and a bassline that never lets up.

Review: Now well over its 200th release, Hot Creations remains one of the house scene's most recognisable labels. In that time it has done a fine job of evolving its sound and staying relevant, not least to singing newer artists such as label heads Jones and Foss do here. Bruno Furlan harks back to the heyday of Latin and stringy minimal made famous by Cadenza's Luciano on 'Bongoloco'. It's a jam that teases with its percussive lines drawn out and woven into rolling beats, while 'Vai' is a little more full-fat and dubby. Both are sure to be huge this summer season.
