TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Italy has been producing a slew of interesting new electronic producers as of late. The latest and greatest of these rave exports is Rocco Rampino, better known to partygoers around the globe as Congorock, and Fool's Gold introduces his bleeped-out, bass-heavy brand of club sonics to the world at large. Congorock's debut single "Runark(1)" is a buzzing four-and-a-half minutes of heart-attack breakbeats, ghetto house thump, and Sega Genesis synthesizer madness. The chunky anthem serves as a perfect calling card for this young producer, who in the space of a few months went from drumming in a hardcore band, to chopping up beats with his mentor Bob Rifo of the Bloody Beetroots, to producing hyperactive remixes for the likes of Rex The Dog and Boys Noize Records' Djedjotronic. "Runark" comes backed with a proggy remix by FG labelmates Jokers Of The Scene(2), as well as the jacking Congorock originals "Exodus(3)" and "Hybro(4)," all wrapped up in psychomystical sleeve art from Dust La Rock. Recommended.
