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.

G L'e P and Pablo Gicasso debut on Roam Recordings with their EP "Route 375". Named after Nevada's mysterious Route 375 ā a highway known for its endless desert, mirages, and otherworldly energy ā this EP captures the feeling of driving through the unknown. The sound is inspired by the raw freedom of Burning Man desert parties blending hypnotic rhythms with dusty, analog textures. Drawing from Los Angeles' fashion and rock culture, NEVADA 375 also pays tribute to the city's darker, electric pulse. Chromo channels the rebellious spirit of Chrome Hearts and the raw energy of Beastie Boys, fusing distorted guitars. Meanwhile, Motor Disco takes us back to the 1980s ā a fusion of retro disco pads and dark rock riffs, built around a mechanical rhythm that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. It's disco with an engine, moving fast through the night.
