RANDOMIZED COFFEE

“They craft a beautiful tapestry woven with elements from Afrobeat, Latin jazz, and funk. They juxtapose African tempos and rhythms with house grooves for a sound that’s both classic and modern.”

— Big Shot Magazine

Randomized Coffee is the musical project of Italian DJs Massimiliano Troiani and Tommaso Checchi. Known for their artisanal approach and deep love for analog sound, the duo consistently explores new musical territories.

Their unique blend of African, Brazilian, jazz groove, and Latin rhythms creates a vibrant patchwork of sound that has led to collaborations with acclaimed musicians and DJs such as Novalima, Kiko Navarro, Kalifa Kone, Kady Coulibaly, Tony Cercola, Christian Vinci, and N’Dinga Gaba.

In 2017, Randomized Coffee crossed international borders with the release of their third EP, Baba / Cidade de Kalimba, on New York-based label Wonderwheel Recordings. This was followed by Mercato Burruchaga / Cotone Mediterraneo, created with percussionist Tony Cercola, and the single Barake, featuring Malian artists Kalifa Kone and Kady Coulibaly.

At the end of 2019, the duo was invited by Wonderwheel’s founder and tastemaker Nickodemus to remix Rumba Libre for Novalima’s remix album Ch’usay. The result was so well received that Novalima began performing the Randomized Coffee version live, in place of their original.

In spring 2020, they remixed Kiko Navarro’s Ihabogi Rawaly from his album Afroterraneo. Then in late 2021, they debuted with the track Despierta, featuring Italian-Argentine singer Noel GC, on Sony Music’s Latin-oriented imprint Orianna Music.

The collaboration continued in summer 2022 with the release of Cumbarrio, featuring both Owem-G (Spain) and the unmistakable voice of Noel GC.
