ROMANTICO DISCO EP

The long musical tradition of electro-disco, Italo style, foregrounds Innervisions™ newest release. Bringing together five producers for a celebration of their cosmic past and future-forward present, Romantico Disco EP is a resolutely Italian affair. As a three-decade stalwart of the music scene in his native Sicily, Mauro Di Martino is best known and well- known for his house sound under the moniker Musumeci. Elsewhere the elusive, anonymous newcomer Phunkadelica has offered a fresh injection of rugged dimension and intergalactic groove since their 2017 debut. Uniting on the first half of this EP, Musumeci & Phunkadelica™s talents merge in a playful, complex tug-of-war. šBabilonia› is as abundant as its mythical name suggests, with a snaky groove and retro laser trails embedded in the framework of a modern house burner. The pair™s second production, šVelluto Blu,› means ˜Blue Velvet™, and is a moody and evocative take on dark, slow disco full of cinematic suspense. On the record™s B-side, alumni artists Stereocalypse, aka Olderic & Andrea Doria, return from the heights of šBlue Dome Escargot,› as featured in the latest instalment of acclaimed Innervisions series Secret Weapons Part 10 . In similar spirit to the guitar licks that drove šBlue Dome Escargot,› the first of the duo™s Romantico Disco productions, šLone Solo Drummer,› focuses on the rhythmic capabilities of a percussive kit, joined with bass and sparkling synth stabs for a live band sound aesthetic. To complete the EP, Stereocalypse™s second production, šThe Cunning Man› gazes across the sea to the Balearic Islands, and further beyond that to the cosmos, growing in size to engage its full intergalactic powers.
