CH.OP. (Channel Operators) - Fantasy (2023) [Hi-Res]

"For the next release on Best Record, the storied Italo institution delivers its first original artist album in over 40 years, as Raffaele “Whodamanny” Arcella joins forces with Cosimo “Cosmo” Mandorino for a suite of dancefloor dreamspells called ‘Fantasy.’ Working under the name CHOP - short for Channel Operators - the duo craft colorized confections of magical motion and ecstatic energy, with atmospheres of infectious disco, future-gazing funk, wavey pop balearica, and booty boppin’ boogie beat intermingling, and further enhanced by layers of dub sorcery and saxophonic sunshine.
It’s a celebratory and soaring adventure of warmth, whimsy, and wonderment, one that pays brilliant homage to the deep history of Neapolitan dance music, while ever forging new paths into the uncharted beyond."
