Mister Magic / Vitamin C

Italian cinematic funk heroes Calibro 35 announce a 7" vinyl featuring two previously unreleased singles. On the A side, Calibro 35 reimagine Grover Washington Jr.’s jazz-funk classic Mister Magic with an ultra-groovy cinematic funk stormer, perfect for DJs and collectors alike. On the B side, the Milan-based combo revitalizes Can’s krautrock anthem Vitamin C with a fresh jazz-punk energy, a track recently brought back into the spotlight through Kanye West’s sampling.

Praised by Rolling Stone as “the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years,” Calibro 35 have built an international reputation as one of the coolest independent bands around. Their music has been sampled by Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and The Child of Lov (featuring Damon Albarn), and they’ve collaborated with icons such as PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, and Stewart Copeland, continuing to push their cinematic funk universe further.
