BLOOOM

The new album by the collective that forover 25 years has been among the mostrepresentative names of the Italian danceand electronic scene worldwide.“BLOOOM”, this is the title of the new release,will be available in all traditional stores andon digital platforms starting January 16.Set against the soundscapes that have becomethe Planet Funk trademark, the lyrics by DanBlack attempt to give voice to a fragile andcontradictory condition of our time: anintensified sensitivity that, instead ofturning into openness and connection, oftenbecomes emotional overload. A generationconstantly overwhelmed by excessive stimuli,relentless information, anxieties, and fears,called upon to find its way in a world thaoffers neither pauses nor silence. In this paradox, sensitivity is no longer just a natural gift, buta daily effort: staying open and receptive without being overwhelmed, trying to preserve a human andvulnerable gaze in order, despite everything, to fully appreciate life and the present moment.The single’s artwork—like that of the album—curated by Nationhood, visually conveys this tension: thedistant sirens of a city that amplifies feelings of disorientation and loneliness even when we aresurrounded by thousands of people.“BLOOOM”, preceded by the single “FEEL EVERYTHING”, arrives at the end of an intense, creative yearfull of music, which saw Alex Neri (DJ, keyboards, synthesizers), Marco Baroni (keyboards, piano,programming), Dan Black (vocals and guitar), and Alex Uhlmann (vocals and guitar) engaged betweenstudio work, collaborations, and live performances in Italy and abroad. A journey that todaytransforms into new energy, into an even more open vision oriented toward the future.Exactly one year ago, PLANET FUNK released “Nights in White Satin”, a single that reached the toppositions of the radio charts and launched a season rich in concerts and DJ sets in Italy and aroundthe world. The subsequent “I Get a Rush”, the collaboration with Alfa and Manu Chao on the remix oftheir hit “A me mi piace”, and the track “È Naturale” together with Francesca Michielin, confirmedPlanet Funk’s ability to renew themselves and engage with different musical worlds while alwaysremaining true to their own identity.Throughout this journey, music has inevitably intertwined with life. The memory of Sergio Della Monicaand Domenico “Gigi” Canu, pillars and founding souls of the PLANET FUNK project, is a living part ofthis new chapter. Their vision, creative spirit, and way of understanding music continue to be aconstant guide, a deep root from which new ideas and new directions can grow.“BLOOOM” is also this: a personal and artistic blossoming that, starting from the legacy left bySergio and Gigi, transforms into a living process of growth, metamorphosis, and discovery. An albumthat does not look back with nostalgia, but forward with awareness, momentum, and a desire forrenewal.Founded in 1999, for over 25 years PLANET FUNK have represented one of the most important, solid, andinfluential realities in the international electronic music scene. Born from the meeting of SouledOut! (Domenico “GG” Canu and Sergio Della Monica) and Kamasutra (Marco Baroni and Alex Neri), andfollowing their debut with “Non Zero Sumness” in 2002 (a gold record and a turning point for theband), PLANET FUNK have managed to reinvent themselves over time while maintaining a unique sonicidentity. This has led them to collaborate with internationally renowned artists, deliver iconicperformances around the world, create soundtracks and international advertising campaigns, andcontinue to demonstrate constant creative vitality
