As DFTD continues to champion underground music, the label has also proven its ability to charter the rising stars of the club world. Fabio Vela bursts onto the scene with this musical escapade, the Italian producers’ thumping, club-focussed record making a perfect fit for the label. For his self-assured label debut the producer teams up with Gianni Bini for their Old School Mix of ‘I Can Handle It’, where the pair combine a thunderous bassline with looped vocals and tension-building drops to produce a guaranteed party-starter.
