Kapowsky (IT)
Setting out to blend the line between Big Room, Percussive and Tech House, Kapowsky sets out to get heads bobbing and people moving. Judging from the support from established artists such as GUZ, Bontan and Mele, it’s evident there’s something to his unholy union of house music that resonates with the pros. Influenced by industry-titans such as Mark Knight, Michael Bibi and Chris Lake, the Turin-native effortlessly hops across genres, as he seeks to etch out his own nice and put his own stamp on contemporary house music. The energetic, club-ready nature of the Italian's records, make them very well suited for peak hour affairs and getting the nod from labels such as Toolroom, This Ain't Bristol and Perfect Havoc further underlines the trajectory Kapowsky is on.
