At once sweet and sentimental, haunting and melancholic, ‘Tema di Susie’ stands out from the other tracks in the film, which are more tense and frantic. Like the rest of the score, however, it exemplifies the way in which, during the ‘70s, Italian film composers created their own version of the sound of American blaxploitation cinema, with its groovy blend of funk, jazz, and soul. It is no coincidence that the film’s director, B-movie specialist Alfonso Brescia, specifically requested music in the style of Shaft, the iconic film that defined that sound in 1971.

"Though seemingly simple, ‘Tema di Susie’ is a perfect example of Alessandroni’s style – in particular his unique ability to effortlessly blend groove and melody, funk and feeling, into one musical piece. That’s why we thought it deserved a special, double installment of our RELOVED series - gor this chapter of the series, Four Flies enlisted Neapolitan duo Fratelli Malibu, consisting of drummer Andrea De Fazio and bassist Paolo Petrella, versatile musicians who’ve been active in the Naples music scene for nearly two decades; and French producer Mounika, with his unique style characterized by mellow and soothing vibes.

Today we share with you Fratelli Malibu – Tema Di Susie Reloved (Banda Maje Vocal Retouch) - The Neapolitan duo have taken Alessandroni's melodic theme and woven it into a mesmerizing tapestry of rhythmic beats, world percussion and ethereal atmospheres. Drawing inspiration from funk/Afrobeat, synth-pop and Italo-disco, they've conjured a psychedelic-tinged, afro-cosmic groove that's bound to transport you to another dimension.

As the music unfolds, you'll feel like you've stepped into a vibrant, fantasy world. The breaks, outro, and intro are woven with a psychedelic thread that leaves you yearning to return once the final note fades away. And that's not all – they've injected an irresistible pop sensibility into the track with the use of drum machines and synths. The result? A rework that not only ampli#es the dreaminess of the original but also seamlessly marries the past with the future.

Four Flies Records say about the track: "We love the track so much that we decided to double the fun with a vocal retouch version, courtesy of the Italian funk/soul collective Banda Maje. Their vocalists, Chiara Della Monica and Cristina Cafiero, elegantly infuse cinematic and Balearic vibes into the mix, paying a wonderful homage to Fratelli Malibu’s exquisite arrangement".

PREMIERE: Fratelli Malibu - Tema di Susie Reloved (Banda Maje Vocal Retouch)

An accomplished juggler when it comes to play with styles, capable to invent modern structures, Nicola got us used to his ability to blend harmonically different musical worlds and create cooperation between great musicians. Deepness is the added value of his new album, something in between consciousness and spirituality. Nothing to share with futile trends, this record is a result of an urgent need to research in the depth of the soul and his musical influences.

The album features the talents of José James, Marvin Parks, Heidi Vogel, Melanie Charles, Tasha’s World and Bridgette Amofah, accompanied by a team of incredible jazzmen like Teppo Makynen, Magnus Lindgren, Greg Osby, Timo Lassy, Francesco Lento, Logan Richardson and Fabrizio Bosso.

Gerardo Frisina - I Need Rhythm

Taken from "Numero Deux". Originally released in 2001 on Schema’s sister label Milano 2000 (Europe) and Chicago cult label Guidance Recordings (U.S.A. and Japan), the album is considered a classic in Trip-Hop history and got international acclaim by taste makers like Thievery Corporation, Zero 7 and Four Tet, which remixed “Così ti Amo”.

Jazz and funk textures, dreamy keyboard melodies, Balearic guitar vibes and sultry female vocals create an engaging montage of sublime Mediterranean flavored Trip-Hop soundscapes.

Imagine DJ Shadow and Ennio Morricone scoring the soundtrack of a Jean Luc Godard film and you’ll get the picture!

The album has been remastered and features two previously unreleased tracks and new liner notes by Emanuele Sacchi (Rumore magazine / Hong Kong Express)

Alessandro Alessandroni - Afro Discoteca (STW Premiere)

My annual Spring mix has become my most challenging and rewarding project. All year round I accumulate notes, lists and piles of records that I think have that little something magical needed for this session.

This is a deeply personal and spiritual mix but it isn't limited to a genre. Music that makes me float, meditate, introspect. Music that makes me hopeful. 

Dedicated to the sun. 

Dedicated to my mom. 

Dedicated to you.
