COMING SOON | EDIZIONI MONDO - SERIE DUE | ROCKET LAUNCH

EDIZIONI MONDO | COLLEZIONE CD Cover design

Mondo is a Running Back-related label run by Francesco De Bellis. Drawing inspiration from Italian documentary films (the term "Mondo" refers to that specific film genre) and library music, it focuses on releasing organic downtempo and ambient music. 

The label launched in 2013 with a release from De Bellis under the name L.U.C.A. called Precipizio. Three more EPs have followed since then: Laguna from ROTLA (AKA Raiders Of The Lost ARP), Dune from Studio 22 (a collaboration between De Bellis and Federico Costantini) and most recently Odeon's Selva, which dropped back in March. That four-record cycle, seasonally described as "a journey through the rise and fall of the sun, the bright light of a spring day, the warm wind that dissolves the sand on its way to the rainy season," had initially been available only on vinyl. Collezione brings all four EPs together onto a single disc.

EDIZIONI MONDO | LAGUNA 2 Cover design

FROM TESTPRESSING.ORG

Birdcall, rainfall, and steel string chimes. Sunrise resonates.Electronic hearts flutter, mimic Poppy

and Reich. CSN offshore, sail unfurled, cutting surf while flying fish fly. Dark stars inverted to light toying

with waves. Congas back arcs of dissonance.

Edges of interference charge a storm in the Tropics, Antigua, Barbados. Caribbean thunder.

Psyche organs spiral, ascend, break cloud.

Drums key the ignition for a Pacific highway drive. The old boys of Summer run a bright blue sky.

Past dogs their shadows, Wayfarers on, in viaggio, heading anywhere. Fast.

EDIZIONI MONDO | PRECIPIZIO 1 Cover design

The name MONDO has its roots in “MONDO MOVIES”, an italian movie genre born in the 60′s. Mondo movies are characterized by documentary-like content that addresses several topics from around the world (“mondo”). The Mondo label has the goal to produce music that is descriptive of concepts, images and environments. Mondo is inspired by library music, a genre frequently used as theme or background music in radio, film and television in that very same period. Production music libraries typically offer a broad range of musical styles and genres describing everything ranging from deserts to war and sports. Library music composers and session performers had no constraint at all. They typically work anonymously, have rarely become known outside their professional circle and they have produced what probably is the most creative music catalogue ever. The Mondo productions start with four releases dedicated to seascapes; scenarios range from sea fauna to poaching, from natural parks to sea dunes. Good listening!
