He was once the bad guy of blog-house. Now, he’s the good one — not because he’s perfect, but because he finally stopped fighting the melody. Crookers shot first. But with ‘Il Buono,’ he stayed for the story.
In the chaotic pantheon of late-2000s dance music, Crookers (the alias of Italian producer Francesco “Phra” Barbaglia) was cast as the villain. His sound was a jackhammer — a brash, fidgety, bass-driven collision of blog-house and punk electronics that tore through clubs with “Day ‘n’ Nite” (the Kid Cudi remix that became a global anthem). He was il cattivo — the bad guy of the booth, the one who turned melodies into stuttering glitches.
But a decade later, something shifted. With the 2021 project Crookers didn’t just make an album — he staged a quiet, genre-defying redemption. The Concept: A Spaghetti Western for the Dancefloor “Il Buono” plays like a sonic parable. Where his early work was aggressive and hedonistic, this LP is measured, cinematic, and unexpectedly tender. The title itself is a wink to Sergio Leone — but instead of Clint Eastwood’s stoic gunslinger, Crookers’ “good” is an artist finding warmth in machinery.
Tracks like “Italia” and “Bella Ciao (Rework)” swap distorted bass for analog synths, field recordings, and acoustic samples. There’s accordion. There’s whispered Italian poetry. There’s even a bossa nova detour. Why the change? In interviews, Barbaglia described a growing fatigue with “bangers for bangers’ sake.” After years of festival sets built on drops, he began collecting sounds from his childhood — old film scores, cantautori like Battisti and De André, the echo of train stations in Milan.
