He will be back in Umbria shortly... in the meantime, let's enjoy his new masterpiece.
Across ten tracks, Euphoria Bound builds an ambitious and uncompromising sonic spectrum.
The approach here is more direct than recent releases, with textures that build up and disintegrate
An example of fusion of classical and electronic music, introducing for the first time the Moog synthesizer in Europe. Listening this album is a fantastic journey between Western music and Indonesian influences. I recommend the track “Ketjak”!
Rediscovery of the day: "Never Stop" by Chilly Gonzales.
Minimalism, hypnotic groove, a simple idea carried through to the end: keep going. A track that flows unhurriedly but never stops. Still relevant, still necessary.
A nice special dedicated to Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin), shortly after the release of the film "Marty Supreme" for which he did the soundtrack.
Apopi doesn't give answers, it asks questions
It doesn't narrate events, it describes their premises and effects
It's not explicit, it's opaque
It's not a sumptuous meal, but only the meager crumbs
It's not figurative, it's the context around the frame
Apopi is everything that exists beyond the mirror
Apopi is deafening silence
After a long-standing interest in the haunting music of Nathan Dawidowicz, Hell Yeah! signs FLUFF, the producer's second album.
The record features three long, winding, mystical leftfield/downtempo soundscapes that blend trance and experimentation into ritualistic and spiritual escapes.
A gem released 30 years ago that has gone under the radar, at least compared to its merits and (enormous!) quality: the trait d'union between (acid) jazz, drum'n'bass, intelligent techno and Balearic ambient. With beautiful lyrics to boot, between the politically impepgned emceeing of Navigator and the urban poetry of tracks like "Place In The City"

Before Stranger Things, a small Umbrian label led by Luca Benni produced the record of those who would become the authors of the soundtrack to one of the most iconic series: Stranger Things.
