Fpi project

Fpi project is an Italian house and dance group from Bergamo, active since 1989. In the early 1990s, the group is associated with a run of club records that help introduce Italo-house to a wider dance music audience. Its lineup includes Aalgaard, Sonia Davis and Corrado Presti.

Style and early recordings

The group’s sound is defined by large piano samples, shouted vocals and a fast, driving beat. This approach becomes a template for much of the house music that follows. The name is linked to a series of dancefloor singles including Going Back to My World, Everybody All over the World, Risky, Berry and Funky Guitar.

Musical context

Fpi project works in the Italian house tradition and is part of the 1990s electronic dance scene. The group’s early recordings are noted for helping bring the Italo-house sound into club circulation beyond Italy.
