Italian DJ and producer Christian Bove debuts on Piston with a funked up tech house groover entitled Back To Back EP. Growing up in Milan, Christian became interested in music at age 14 and, with help and support from family and friends he started to play out at various parties. At 16 he got his first big gig at Bolgia’s back room where he came face to face with top jocks from around the world. In 2014/2015 he started to play in the main room starting off the proceedings for some major nights. A superb up and comer in the world of producing, this guy is definitely one to watch.

Back To Back kicks off with a carnival-esque groovy bassline that sits perfectly amidst shuffling percussions. Bright crispy hats and rolling snares generate a solid rhythmic flow which is led by a chunky kick drum. Cool vocals come through in various forms adding a superb club vibe while that bassline dominates. A floorfiller for sure, this one is a must have in your tech arsenal.

City takes us on a fantastic tech fuelled ride complete with solid beats and deep rolling basses. The tight drum arrangement comprises punchy kick drums and sharp snappy snares alongside shuffling hats that deliver a smooth rhythm. An array of vocals litter the sound giving off a raw, authentic vibe, but it’s the prominence of the bassline that drives this one. An absolute stomper perfect for later sessions.

Gangster intros with a nice well rounded warm kick drum that is followed by sharp crispy hi hats and claps. Cool spiralling FX sit in the background as very cool funky riffs bring the musical elements to life. Again we see brilliant use of various vocals that gives the track lots of character. A deep meandering bassline sits calmly on the low end as the higher frequencies take control. A top notch cut that is a definite must have.
