minimono finally strikes back on bosconi records since 4 years from their last hot album *runaway*. this four tracker vinyl named *gang of fools* represents the perfect continuation of fabio della torre & ennio colacis trademark sound aesthetic dense of funk, warm vibes and west coast house attitude: the record starts on a side with that unmistakable shake-yo-booty disco riff of the *gang of fools* track which follows the deeper and keep on going groove of *rapid fall* on the second cut. on b side instead you ll find the sliding and subtle no excuse driving jack-house-funk of *bring it* followed by the melancholy and romanticism of the *under the influence* closing track. no tools for fools!

the tracks here are in the brutalist machine house vein and the source material for * we come together* (by mazi as asp and john griffin as awoke) will be familiar to devotees of roots chicago house. the brodanse brothers * sleep won t come* is remixed by audio soul project and awoke. chicago based multi-instrumentalist jonn wallen contributes the dense * aesthete* under pseudonym *by gordon gartrelle*. * we get together* is a tribute to the 90s house that inspired us to start making music years ago. people reminisce about how things used to be better, but you must breath in the present. we keep with us those hallowed bones but let pain and suffering fade into the mist. we let memories fade in the depths of our neural web so as not to be paralyzed by the burden of sentiment. we forget to stay sane.
