MUNDI OP:OP

Coming in from Messina once again – OP:OP return with their latest sonic exploration: the MUNDI EP.

Rooted in the cultural mosaic of the Mediterranean, Andrea & Alessio channel their surroundings into sound. From the sandstone glow of Sicilian streets to the echoes of ancient empires, MUNDI is a tribute to a world where borders blur and rhythms travel. Driven by hypnotic ethno-dub grooves and analog warmth (say hello to Moog & Juno), OP:OP dive into earthy textures with cabasa, tight stomps and a variety of percussive elements. Their palette also includes electric guitar by Francesco Frudà and vocal fragments that drift like memories.

On the hypnotic title track, OP:OP map a pre-colonial landscape, a place where ancient stories whisper beneath modern machines. “Do You Follow Barà?” strikes with Afrobeat rhythms and horns, paying homage to the royal dances of West Africa and the legacy of Fela Kuti. On “Mesogeios” (Greek for Mediterranean), you’ll drift between the shores of Crete and the Libyan Sea. “Tricky” navigates the inner terrain of fragile emotions, featuring raw, revealing chants by Billy Prince Brown.
