cosmo dance: cosmo-logic
Francisco Espregueira
The Italian underground has a fresh transmission. Released via Periodica Records, COSMO-LOGIC channels the spirit of classic Italo-disco while weaving in cosmic disco, minimalist electro and machine-driven funk. It's a fitting next step for Cosimo Mandorino, aka Cosmo Dance, whose work as the founder of Mirella and long-standing presence in Italy's underground scene has always balanced dancefloor instinct with a taste for experimentation.
Built during a series of recording sessions in Naples alongside Raffaele Arcella and Dario di Pace, COSMO-LOGIC unfolds like the soundtrack to a retro-futuristic sci-fi tale. Vocoders, analog effects and the unmistakable bite of the Korg MS-20 give the album its robotic pulse, while themes of artificial intelligence, conflict and imagined digital worlds run through its core. Rather than feeling nostalgic, the record reinterprets the golden age of electronic music with fresh energy, making it an easy pick for fans of vintage synths, cosmic grooves and timeless underground sounds. Available on vinyl.
