Violca and Barletta just started producing together as Mansion this past summer but are already making waves in the clubs and on the blogs for their shameless love of big-room house.

Their authorized remix of MSTRKRFT’s Bounce brought them immediate attention on the international scene, which they’ve capitalized on by cranking out new tunes at an impressive rate.
