Nick Fiorucci

The big beat-style sound of Nick Fiorucci’s 11:11 was produced in Toronto, ON. First single "Need Your Love” reached number one on UK club charts and is a top dance hit in other electronic music centres. Fiorucci sets up a gorgeous group of vocalists — JaQe, Carlo Coppola, Kelly Malbasa and others — who show a wide range of styles and skills. Fiorucci reaches into all corners of electronic music (new wave, hard house, electro-house), bringing skilled production with warmth and using some electro-retro, pre-millennium sounds. There are slight happy hardcore influences (minus the hardcore) on some tracks, taking us back to what Toronto was known for during the rave generation. This is a really big dance album that will go over well with DJs wherever big sound-systems are. Of a high level of production, 11:11 shares some new vibes from Toronto. The album will most likely play a figurative role on the global house music circuit.
