I Marc 4

Founded in early 70s by historical Rai TV trumpeter and composer Cicci Santucci (Looking Around, On The Underground Road etc.), New Tape grown up during the golden period of Italian music production and was dedicated to experimentation of new forms of sound, always hailing from the solid Jazz basis of the musicians and theme music inspiration. Andrea Galtieri aka Cavalier Piscopo sequenced the very best shots from the whole label production including exclusive liner notes, with an explosive mix of Jazz-Rock, Bossa, spellbinding groove and raw experimental stuff.

With a ridiculously small pressing of only 100 copies per title, NEW TAPE is among the most interesting discoveries to date in terms of original production library music, and as a result, a very respectable journey begins inside the creative underground jazz of 1970s.

New Tape

Sonor Music Editions born in 2013 from an idea of Lorenzo Fabrizi, owner and founder of the label, that was one year later joined by his friend Andrea Galtieri. The label's name actually derives from the Italian term used to describe Library music, which is what the label focused on during its entire activity, which is "Sonorizzazioni". From rare and obscure Pop, Jazz, Cinematic Lounge, Funk, Easy Listening to underground Psychedelic, Sonor Music Editions dug into the deepest sounds of Italian Library and Soundtrack golden age, releasing and reissuing some of the most rare and beautiful recordings of this prolific music scene from 1970s/80s. In 2016 the label started to invest in the acquisition of original archival music, developing its own production library series with a nod to new, emerging and talented artists.
