Also Playable Mono, the nom de guerre of Rafa Lachmirowicz, channels musical greats and the romance of Italy with the Firenze EP. Neverland reimagines Giorgio Moroders iconic introduction of I Feel Love, undulating arpeggios and clean kicks giving way to an addictive tongue-in-cheek melody of laser futurism and eastern influences. Firenze follows. Broad analogue bars call to mind the works of Patrick Cowley, disco funk flirting with a spoken word tribute to Florence in this bright and bold track. Our next stop off is Bergamo. Low-slung, this smoky number is primed for the night. Thick thrums of bass are punctured by piano keys and toms, robotic pulses and trills adding a 1970s sci-fi groove to the proceedings. Turning the tables is Breakfast Date. Slow and dreamy, this early morning lounge affair lowers the tempo. Considered and thoughtful, meandering melodies border the blurred lines of jazz and funk. The words of Firenze are left in the wings for the instrumental close, Lachmirowiczs synthesizers taking the limelight in this uplifting finale. A 12 that encapsulates the expansive sound of Also Playable Mono.
