About this item

The Space Grapes are back, this time presenting a 12" EP coming from Italian trio Collettivo Immaginario.

Formed by LA-based drummer Tommaso Cappellato in conjunction with pianist Alberto Lincetto and bassist Nicolò Masetto, the group is known for their experimental blend of eclectic jazz, funk, downtempo beats, and vintage Italian library music. On this release, they are showcasing their foray into Italian vocals. The A-side "Luce" is a vibrant track that combines 80s jazz funk elements with a touch of boogie in an extended multi-rhythmic version that keeps the energy grooving. Flipping to the B-side, "Luna Gioia" offers a modern interpretation of downtempo Brazilian-funk and slow disco, accompanied by an instrumental version that allows the music to shine on its own.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Space Grapes continues to lead the charge when it comes to contemporary disco and boogie. Collettivo Immaginario is a new signing on the label; and being Italian pursue a very sophisticated and smooth blend of disco and soul. Bound to find favour with lovers of that Neapolitan sound - Nu Genea, Daniel Monaco, Parbleu, Mystic Jungle etc etc.
