    JACK BLOOM – I Got A Lot

    BY JACK BLOOM

    The first single from “Vivid Colors”, the upcoming album out in January 2027, marks the beginning of a new chapter for Jack Bloom — a journey through emotional tension, breath, and the search for balance.

    “I Got A Lot” marks the beginning of a new chapter in Jack Bloom’s artistic journey. As the first single taken from “Vivid Colors”, set for release in January 2027, the track opens a series of six releases that will unfold in the months leading up to the album, gradually revealing its different emotional and sonic shades.

    From a musical perspective, “I Got a Lot” immediately introduces the project’s identity: an eclectic language that moves across genres while maintaining a strong stylistic coherence. The sound blends the enveloping pulse of disco, the influence of British R&B, refined jazz harmonies, and, at times, the raw edge of alternative rock.

    The production remains intentionally intimate and minimal, allowing space for the vocals and the emotional tension carried by the lyrics. Electronic textures intertwine with more organic elements — such as live-played drums — creating a fluid and dynamic sense of movement.

    “I Got a Lot” stems from a moment of emotional overload: a build-up of thoughts, pressures, and expectations that become difficult to express. The opening line — “I got a lot on my chest right now” — captures this tension with striking simplicity, becoming the emotional core of the track.

    In the chorus, this confession turns into a mantra. The repetition of “I got a lot” takes on a nearly cathartic quality: not a surrender, but an acknowledgment. Slowing down, seeking closeness, and allowing space to breathe become part of the process of growth.

    At its core, the song carries a deeply human request: “bring it in, I need you close.” It is not about finding immediate solutions, but about the need for presence — someone willing to stay close while balance is slowly restored.

    As the opening chapter of “Vivid Colors”, “I Got a Lot” introduces one of the album’s central themes: the exploration of emotions in all their shades, from the most fragile to the most radiant. In the months leading up to the release, the six planned singles will continue to unveil new “colors” of this journey.

    “I Got a Lot” does not offer definitive answers. Instead, it offers something simpler — and perhaps more necessary: the space to breathe.

  • ECHOES OF ITALY – THE AGE OF VOOM VOOM MUSIC

    Voom Voom Music is more than a record label—it is a cultural node where sound, nightlife, and vision converged, shaping a uniquely Italian interpretation of disco’s global language.

    12″ LP VINYL
    DIGITAL

    Born in Turin in the late 1970s under the direction of Ivo Lunardi, Voom Voom Music emerged at the intersection of club culture, experimentation, and entrepreneurial vision. A key figure in the Piedmont nightlife scene, Lunardi translated the energy of the dancefloor into a sonic identity that was eclectic, forward-thinking, and deeply connected to the international language of disco.

    The label developed a distinctive sound shaped by the fusion of disco, pop, and rock with strong Afro-American influences. Funk grooves, soul textures, and rhythmic contaminations were not mere references, but essential elements of a musical approach that looked beyond borders. In this sense, Voom Voom Music was among the first Italian labels to embrace a truly global perspective, anticipating the evolution of dance music in the decades to follow.

    At the same time, the Voom Voom Club—later known as Pick-Up Club—became the physical and cultural extension of this vision. More than a discotheque, it was a meeting point where artists, athletes, and clubbers converged in a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. Within its walls, music was not just played, but lived: a continuous exchange of sounds, identities, and experiences.

    This compilation captures that unique ecosystem. It is not simply a collection of tracks, but a journey through a formative moment in Italian club culture, where afro-funk vibrations, disco energy, and futuristic intuitions coexisted. These recordings reflect a raw and visionary phase, laying the groundwork for the sonic transformations that would later define Turin’s musical identity.

    Far from nostalgic clichés, what emerges is an authentic and dynamic sound—born in clubs, shaped in studios, and driven by a desire to explore, innovate, and connect. A living archive that continues to resonate, inviting the listener not only to remember, but to experience.

  • JACK BLOOM – The Pond

    JACK BLOOM – The Pond

    BY GO.SOUL.MAP & JACK BLOOM

    A sonic journey through memories, childhood fears, and timeless groove.

    Behind grandma’s garden, a small pond.
    A reflection. A fear. A memory.

    From this simple yet deeply evocative image comes “The Pond”, the new single by Catania-based producer and artist Salvo “Dub”, aka Go.Soul.Map., in collaboration with singer-songwriter and performer Jack Bloom.

    This track unfolds like a whisper from the past—caught between the shadows of memory and the soft light of adult irony. “The Pond” serves as a metaphor for those irrational childhood fears that once froze us in place—like the dark, or a figure lurking beneath still water—and that, with time, reveal themselves for what they truly are: illusions.

    Telling this story is Jack Bloom, whose gentle voice and tender lyrics shape a familiar yet surreal scene: a group of children, a ball rolling toward the water, the silence that follows… and that unexplainable fear that keeps everyone still.

    Musically, “The Pond” is a refined stylistic exercise. Go.Soul.Map.’s warm, driving groove draws from classic disco roots, yet is dressed in contemporary elegance, with sonic textures that sway between nostalgia and modernity. It’s a production that once again confirms the versatility of the “Catanese master of the beat,” capable of turning even the most intimate emotions into dancefloor movement.

    A track for those unafraid to look within.
    A track for those who’ve learned to laugh at their own shadows.
    A track for those who, even now, sometimes stop by a pond… and let their thoughts wander.

  • CRAZY FUNK

    CRAZY FUNK

    BY TOMMY SOUL

    “Crazy Funky” marks the official debut of Tommy Soul as a producer — a track born from the desire to blend the groove of 80s funk and disco with a contemporary sonic approach.

    A warm, dominant funky bassline drives the track alongside a vintage-flavoured, punchy drum groove, supported by modern electronic synths and sound details that firmly place it in the present.
    The lyrics and vocal melody sung by Tommy Soul, reveal an unexpected falsetto, especially in the harmonic tension of the hook “make me crazy!”

    The goal was to reinterpret the spirit of original disco productions and bring it into a modern, more electronic and club-oriented dimension, while preserving the analogue soul and authentic warmth of the sound.

    The result is a track with a strong character: a relentless bassline, gritty vocals, an infectious groove, and an energy built for the dancefloor.

    The two versions offer different perspectives on the same groove:

    • The Disco Version is airy, spatial, and bright — rich in percussive layers for a unique disco feel, perfect for radio play as well.
    • The Club Version is more direct and punchier, designed to dominate darker dancefloors and tailored for underground DJs.

    “Crazy Funky” acts as a bridge between past and future:
    on one side, the inspiration of 80s funk and disco productions — with thick basslines, tight drums, and minimal vocal melodies;
    on the other, a modern electronic sound design influenced by the nu-disco, modern funk, and deep club scenes.

    The track captures the best of both worlds, crafting a fresh, analog, and irresistible language.
    Pressed on 12” 45 RPM vinyl, Crazy Funky is a maxi-single built for DJs who want to ignite the dancefloor with a deep, authentic, and captivating groove.
    Alongside the vinyl release, the single will also be available on all major digital platforms.

    ANALOG MASTERING

    The mastering of “Crazy Funky” was carried out entirely on vintage analog consoles and finalized to magnetic tape.
    Each stem was treated individually through high-quality analog outboard gear, preserving the natural warmth and depth of the sound.

    This old-school “as it used to be done” approach is an essential part of Tommy Soul’s philosophy: bringing back the physicality and organic feel typical of classic analog productions to modern electronic music.

    The result is a full, warm, and authentic sound — with lively dynamics and a groove that breathes.
    Tommy Soul pays meticulous attention to sonic quality and tonal coherence, believing that the warmth and natural imperfection of analog sound are what make music truly alive.

    POSITIONING & STYLE

    The track sits within the nu-disco / modern boogie / electronic funk landscape, drawing direct inspiration from the sound and aesthetic of artists such as DJ Harvey, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Kerri Chandler, Louie Vega, Hunee, Folamour, Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble, and collectives like Rush Hour, Toy Tonics, Dekmantel, My Analog Journal, HOR Berlin, and more.

  • JACK BLOOM – Where Do You Go?

    JACK BLOOM – Where Do You Go?

    Meet Jack Bloom: an emerging voice from Italy’s alt-pop scene, born in 2002 and already shaping a sound that feels both intimate and international.

    His new single, “Where Do You Go?”, is a shimmering piece of groove-driven nostalgia.

    Imagine the hypnotic pulse of Metronomy’s “The Look” meeting the emotional clarity and crisp production of Harry Styles’ “As It Was”. The result is a song that feels like dancing through a memory — upbeat, but never shallow; catchy, yet emotionally loaded.

    “Where Do You Go?” opens with tight, propulsive drums and a bouncing bassline that pulls you in from the first second. Add warm synth textures, understated guitar licks, and a vocal line that feels both personal and instantly memorable, and you’ve got a track that’s ready for radio rotation, indie playlists, and late-night drives.

    “Where do you go, when you don’t call? / With all this space and time… you’re always on my mind.”

    It’s a question we’ve all asked, quietly or out loud. Jack turns it into a hook — simple, haunting, and honest. The lyrics explore emotional absence, and the echo left behind by someone who’s no longer present, but never really gone. It’s about drifting, longing, and the quiet obsession of remembering.

    Jack Bloom writes, produces, and performs his own music. Raised in Northern Italy, he grew up surrounded by British indie, electronic textures, and the kind of heartfelt pop that crosses borders. Despite being only 23, his artistic identity is already sharp: emotionally open, sonically polished, and impossible to ignore.

    His DIY approach brings authenticity; his sense of melody brings staying power.

    “Where Do You Go?” bridges indie and pop with rare balance. It’s infectious, but smart. Smooth, but layered. Whether you’re programming a pop show, an alt-indie hour, or looking for the next artist to break through the European scene, Jack Bloom deserves your attention.

  • Heading South

    Heading South

    BY AGOSTA

    Heading South is more than a journey—it’s a movement through space and sensation. The road stretches ahead, winding through rolling hills, towering mountains, and vast, open plains. The sunlight is constant, warm, and golden, wrapping everything in a quiet glow. It’s the kind of light that feels like a memory.

    As the traveller moves forward, a soundscape rises—a track filled with atmospheric tones and visionary textures. It recalls the musical spirit of Khruangbin, Tommy Guerrero, and Mildlife, artists who blur borders and paint landscapes with sound. The music seems to speak, telling stories without words, stories of distant places and the calm vastness of wide horizons.

    Agosta blends Trip-Hop with the soul of psychedelic rock and the pulse of funk, creating something both rooted and borderless. The rhythm flows with a steady, sun-soaked ease, giving the sensation of perpetual motion. There’s a groove that breathes with every curve in the road, with every ray of light, as if the earth itself is part of the beat.

    Guitars lead the melodic thread, their voices infused with soul, speaking in a musical language shaped by many cultures. It’s a sound that carries both nostalgia and curiosity—a feeling of traveling not just through landscapes, but through memories, through identity, and through the echoes of one’s origins.

    Eventually, the road reaches its final destination: Sicily. A place that is not just the end, but a return. Here, the music finds its roots. It becomes personal. Agosta’s native land becomes the final note in a composition that has always been about movement—forward, inward, and homeward.
