Biography of Renato Figoli
Long before he began dabbling in electronic music, Renato Figoli fought his way to the title of Sardinian Fencing champion dispatching opponents at will, through a combination of dead-eye accuracy and razor sharp reflexes. Those same precision movements are on display again in his latest offering, Serotonin Smile. Deeper and darker than last November's bombs Ocho al Puma and E'arrivato L'arrotino, Serotonin Smile plays a seductive game of cat and mouse with the dance floor, patiently building from the first booming kick drum to its awesome conclusion, unleashing wave after wave of infectious bleeps, beats and basslines in the process. Subtle distortion FX and perfectly crafted delays add further dimensions to a unique track that will turn up the heat this summer.
Renato is operating left of centre, somewhere between the realms of house and techno. Taking the best of both worlds, he cooks up a real storm through a skillful combination of patient build-ups, funky rolling basslines, splintered percussion loops and dramatic breakdowns. Out of a long, snaking intro suddenly takeing off with an urgent, driving bassline followed by a hypnotic synth riff that twists and turns before slowly morphing into a cavernous breakdown of epic proportions. Renato is on top form with his first two Gumption trax, moving away from the more thoughtful, minimal grooves he's been producing for LoFi into peak time territory.
