Modern Sound Quartet - Italian Library Breaks (2026)

The Modern Sound Quartet, led by Oscar Rocchi, stands as a pivotal yet under-documented figure in 1970s Italian library music. The group developed a distinct Milanese aesthetic, blending jazz-funk, cinematic atmospheres, and a sophisticated metropolitan sound as an alternative to the established Roman scene. This new limited-edition box set compiles the quartet’s most rhythmically potent and sought-after recordings from 1973 to 1980, highlighted by intense drum breaks and high-energy fusion passages. Designed for collectors and beatmakers, the release focuses on previously unissued 7-inch formats and celebrates the band's influential "invisible" legacy in European soundtrack history.
