For the Italians F&S the new wave and electronic scene of the 80s are of great influence, and in fact their live performance is characterised by a unique slamming electro touch with synths and samplers. But the crowded dancefloor is their habitat. That's why in 2005 their first track, "Countach" was included in the lucky "Italian EP", published by Relish Rec., the electro-myth Headman's label. And this is why it is also featured in some exciting CD mixes, such as 2 Many Dj's' "50,000,000 Soulwax Fans Can't Be Wrong", "Misch Masch" by Freeform Five and Mixmag 2006 mixed by Soulwax. A few months on and the "Destination/Location EP" and the "Maximum Joy" singles were both released, again on Relish. Now their first album "Acceleration" has just been released, and it's as always rich of collaborations, from David Carretta (Gigolo/Space Factory) to GD Luxxe and Tomas Barfod aka Tomboy (Who Made Who).
