In Session: Fango
The elusive producer rounds off an exceptional year
Released in three parts, the 'Viscera' EPs have been some of the most well received of the year. DJs like Laurent Garnier, Jackmaster and most-notably Dixon have been rinsing his tracks. When 'Rectum' first dropped we were dubious about such a questionably-named track but on further investigation we realised that the sparse, rabid, drum-fuelled monster would be one of the most inventive and popular tracks of the year.
Described as 'virtuous perfectionist obsessed with mixing bassdrums', this seems like a more than accurate description of the shadowy Italian and to cap off a massive year for the producer, he's recorded a rare mix for us for his debut In Session.
What follows is a heady mix of feisty disco and warped house. It's one of the most eclectic mixes we've had all year and it's fitting as Fango is one of the most eclectic producers around right now. Dive in and get weird.
