Seit 2007 haben die italienischen Funksters reichlich Alben veröffentlicht, vieles davon waren Fake-Soundtracks -
zuletzt gab es aber auch Morricone-Interpretationen. Auf diesem neunten Studioalbum arbeiten Calibro 35 wieder souverän mit instrumentalem Deep Funk und cineastischen Blaxploitation-Roots. Markenzeichen: Extrem tight auf den Punkt groovend und gekonnt instrumentiert hier treffen Fuzzguiatars auf Flöte, Twang-.Gitarre auf Fender Rhodes und spacigen Synthie. Ab und zu mal etwas Sax, ansonsten aber ganz viel Groove im Stil der späten 60er und frühen 70er. Eigene Songs der Milanesen treffen auf gecoverte Genre-Klassiker wie „Nautilus“ von Bob James, „Mission Impossible“ und den Blaxploitation-Knaller „Coffy Is The Color“ von Roy Ayers. Dazwischen gibt es auch mal cineastische Downtempo-Suspense-Music sowie einen psychedelischen Jazz-Freakout über sechs Minuten, der Rest groovt aber wie gewohnt knackig und extrem dynamisch nach vorne. (Joe Whirlypop)

Italian cinematic funk legends Calibro 35 continue their journey into the world of cinematic jazz-funk. "Exploration" 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 a long its way pays homage to artists such as Lalo Schifrin (Mission Impossible), Italian Maestro Piero Umiliani (Discomania and Gassman Blues) and Herbie Hancock (Chamelon). Described by Rolling Stone as "the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years," Milan-based Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest independent bands around. Active since 2007, during their long career, they have been sampled by Dr. Dre on Compton ("One Shot One Kill" feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay-Z ("Picasso Baby"), The Child of Lov & Damon Albarn ("One Day"), and Demigodz ("The Summer Of Sam"). They have played major venues and festivals all over Europe, and as unique musicians, they have collaborated with, among others, PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Stewart Copeland, and Rokia Traoré.
