about

"This is another one that went down a storm” Ross Allen (NTS), Best of 2020

“A lot of people have been asking me about that Fela Kuti cover…” Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music)


Alongside the release of his debut album 'Descent To The Centre' is this special edition, double A side single. The black 7” vinyl features an exclusive 45 Centre Edit of the iconic “Expensive Shit” paired with a sUb_modu original “RAM Generation”.

'Descent To The Centre' features 11 tracks - the first 2 tracks listed here feature on the 7 inch, and the last 3 tracks are Bonus tracks, previously released as the “Pidgin Synths EP”

Berlin-based electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist sUb_modU's debut album 'Descent To The Centre' is an autobiographical and existentialist account of oneself, blending the electric/psychedelic spectrum of jazz with house, avant-garde and ambient leanings. The album is released on CD and digitally, see submodu.bandcamp.com/album/descent-to-the-centre

Following on from “Pidgin Synths EP”, a release that entangled a homage to afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti with synth-heavy original material, sUb_modU has amassed an impressive list of tastemaker support through his unique reinterpretations, from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music), Ross Allen (NTS) and Virgil Abloh (Off White).

‘Descent To The Centre’ is the result of a natural process, a concept of allowing musical passions to flow organically in the midst of sUb_modU’s daily experiences. In the words of the artist “it’s about the direction towards the centre, finding the nature within me, at my inner core. As astronomers say “we are all made from stardust” – we are all interconnected to the universe, this makes me feel inconsequential while simultaneously part of something immense.”

Born and raised in Aosta, a small tourist town in the Alps, this beautiful hometown of outstanding nature and mountain ranges acted as a catalyst for sUb_modU, aka Romeo Sandri’s musical ambitions, creating a wanderlust to go beyond these borders. Studying classical music as a child and citing listening to Symphony no.6 by Tchaikovsky as a pivotal movement in his musical development, for Romeo music is simply “food for the soul”.

sUb_modU is influenced by an array of music such as 60s/70s electric/psychedelic jazz, productions from the electronic kraut period (Tangerine Dream), Detroit & Chicago House, avant-garde & free jazz, soul, black music, hip-hop, ambient music, Sam Gendel, Jeff Parker, Gill Scott Heron reimagined by Makaya McCraven, the list goes on…
