Deep Affection is an electronic duo that rules with soulful passion many analogue & digital machines and even a modular synth system. 
What is generated it’s a wide range of sounds, from deep techno and tech house to ambient and chill out music, in a way that recall the eighties’ process of creating electronic studio productions.
There’s nothing pre-recorded but it’s all strictly played live.
Doc – modular system, synths, effects
Alpha – vocals, drum machine, synths

Psychedelic pop from Italy.

Monoscopes are a band founded by Paolo Mioni (vocals, guitars, keyboards), a multi-instrumentalist from Padua and former member of Italy’s Jennifer Gentle, with whom he toured coast-to-coast America and played at SXSW, as well as festivals and venues throughout Italy, and also founder of the alt-blues band Nicotine Alley, with whom he released two albums. 

Around 2015, Mioni began writing songs more oriented towards psychedelia, power pop and shoegaze, so much so that in 2016 he felt the need to start a new project, which was initially developed completely as a solo project. When the composition of the new songs was finished, however, Mioni went in search of new musicians to play them with, in the studio as well as live. 

The musicians who joined the project are all veterans of the North-East Italian indie scene: Francesco Sicchieri (formerly of Nu Bohémien) on drums and percussion, Francesco Pagliarin (SlowMotionLove, Hinamuri, Replace The Battery) on guitar and bass, and Marco Degli Esposti (Cranchi, Art of Wind, The Great Northern X, La Notte Delle Streghe), who plays bass, guitar, keyboards and sings backing vocals. With their arrival, the Monoscopes turned into a full-fledged band. 

The debut album Painkillers And Wine, released in 2021 by Big Black Car Records, the band's own label, was finally recorded and mixed by Mioni, who also produced the whole thing, with the exception of a couple of tracks previously recorded and mixed by Marco Fasolo at TUP Studios in Brescia.

Painkillers and Wine was very well received by the Italian and foreign press. Here are some quotes from the various reviews:
"A stellar debut" - Shindig! Magazine, UK
"Top grooves to support [Mioni’s] Cohen/Lou Reed-ish vocals" (4 stars) - MOJO, UK
"Intriguing and old school" - Rumore, IT
"Pure sonic grace" - Rockit, IT
'Great artistic depth' - Radio COOP, IT
The album was presented live at several concerts throughout Northern Italy.

Meanwhile, Monoscopes started recording their second album at Marco Degli Esposti's Happenstance Recording Studio. The new record sees the band reaching new levels both on a lyrical level and in terms of songwriting and performance. 

The album, entitled Endcyclopedia, will be released in January 2024, again by Big Black Car Records, and will be preceded by the single The Electric Muse (I wanna know why). Endcyclopedia features guest appearances by Tommaso Cerasuolo, the lead singer of Perturbazione (a top-tier Italian indie band), and Francesco Candura, who played bass with Jennifer Gentle for several years. It will be presented live by the band with the help of new band members Tommaso Mioni (keyboards, backing vocals) and Alex Villani (bass).
