Four Flies Records - Reloved (EP)
Launched in 2015, Rome-based Four Flies Records has been rescuing from oblivion vintage Italian soundtracks and library music, rediscovering and making available previously unreleased or lesser-known music by the likes of Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini and Silvano D’Auria amongst others.
Their findings have found their way to the homes of record collectors but also the wider public: we can in fact listen to Four Flies’ work on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and TV shows like Good Girls and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
With the release of Piero Umiliani’s ‘Discomania (Jolly Mare Lifting)’ the label launched RELOVED, a vinyl series where contemporary DJs and producers rework tunes from Italian golden age soundtracks and library music.
The aim of the series is to spark a conversation between past, present and future, joining the dots between Italy’s great film and library-music tradition and a global scene of forward-thinking producers - the names confirmed so far include Dengue Dengue Dengue, Free The Robots, Jolly Mare, Koralle (feat. Illa J), Fratelli Malibu, Mounika, Oké aka Deda, Luke Beats, Ollie Teeba of The Herbaliser and Deca.
