Italia Synthetica 2025 features a Fred Ventura curated selection of unreleased tracks from a collective of Italian artists and producers who have long been influential in the electronic underground scene. These musicians continue to push boundaries and explore new frontiers within electro, synth-pop, and new wave. Rimini Metafisica is the new project by Paolo Gozzetti, already known for his work with Sigma Tibet and as part of the Italo synth pop duo Italoconnection. TenGrams is one of the many aliases of brothers Alessandro and Davide Piatto (formerly of N.O.I.A), here exploring dark and minimal synth sounds with an essential edge. Diego Montinaro aka Sandiego, DJ, producer, and prominent figure in the Milanese underground scene for over two decades, contributes to the album with a synthetic ballad marked by a cybernetic cadence. Mono Han is another project by the Piatto brothers, this time brighter and authentically synth-pop, where the sounds of the Linn Drum and Roland Jupiter 8 pave the way. Deep Field is the new synth-pop project by Danilo Carnevale, a former member of post-punk bands Other Side and Jeunesse D'Ivoire, and more recently active with Ivoiries and Lunaires. Castelli, a member of the band Clone Culture, presents a track from his upcoming solo album, an engaging mix of Italian new wave and disco. Fogli and Ventura brings together Livio Fogli (formerly of La Maison and Periferico) and Fred Ventura in a minimal synth project with an isolationist character. Through Twelve is a Milan based duo that recently released a mini-album featuring a sound that blends post-punk and synth-pop with a contemporary sensibility. Body System emerges from the collaboration between Enrico Colombo (formerly of Art Boulevard, Orang e Party, and Bedroom Rockers) and Fred Ventura, aiming to rejuvenate the EBM sound in 2025. Finally, Italoconnection featuring Francesca Gastaldi presents a "lost" track by Paolo Gozzetti and Fred Ventura, reinterpreted in an electro-Kraftwerkian style by TenGrams.
