Fresh from making his debut alongside VLTRA on Realm Records, Italian DJ Francis De Simone delivers his first solo outing - a formidable four-track EP on Hot Creations that puts deep, sub-heavy bass and bustling, energetic beats at the heart of the action. Playing drums at the ripe age of 2, with a club bouncer father, dance music runs in the family blood. He sets out with 'London Bass', a non-stop stomp built around house beats, low-register acid bass and tongue-in-cheek vocal samples, before opting for a mix of Derrick Carter style 'boompty' beats, deep sub, chopped-up vocal snippets and Yorkshire style bleeps. Over on the B-side, 'Off White' pairs a deep and booming bassline with shuffling, speed-garage style drums, while 'This Is Underground' sees Simone reach for rubbery electrofunk bass, with that driving bassline present throughout.
