From ricotta and Sangiovese to impossibly buttery leather, there are certain arenas where the Italians reign supreme. Add to that list disco-filtered house music and oversexed electro. Bringing sawtooth synths and happy house at a kitten-heels-friendly pace, Italy's the Bloody Beetroots and Congorock load a clip for the ultrahip, assuring their tracks slots beside J.U.S.T.I.C.E., Digitalism, MSTRKRFT, Boys Noize, et al. The dancefloor becomes a crime scene, home to squelchy castoff caused by the concussive force of clenched tones and divebombing bass.
