Jay-Z and Dr. Dre-sampled, instrumental cinematic heroes Calibro 35 release their new studio album Exploration. The album marks their return to independent label Record Kicks after their last studio album Nouvelle Aventures released on Universal Music in 2023. The band picks up from their latest EP, "Jazzploitation," released on Record Kicks last October. Exploration is a deep dive into the universe of cinematic jazz-funk, showcasing both the band's reinterpretations of timeless classics such as Roy Ayers’ “Coffy” or Bob James “Nautilus” and original compositions by the band such us the lead single “Reptile Strut”, the jazz-funk stormer “The Twang” and the soulful cinematic number “Pied De Poule”. An exploration and a new journey for the Milanese combo that along its way pays homage to artists such as Lalo Schifrin, Italian Maestro Piero Umiliani (Discomania and Gassman Blues) and Herbie Hancock. Described by Rolling Stone as "the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years."
