Four Flies was founded in 2015 as a record label aiming to rescue from oblivion vintage Italian soundtracks and library music, especially obscure or underrated works that were never circulated outside the Italian film, radio and television industry of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Like film-and-music archaeologists, the people at Four Flies have rediscovered, re

stored, and made available to listeners all over the globe lesser-known or previously unreleased music by the likes of Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini and Silvano D’Auria, contributing significant additions to their discographies. More recently, the label has been taking the reissue and vintage niche beyond its confines to build a bridge between yesterday and today, between heritage composers and contemporary artists.

Originally released in 1982 by Italian duo Mario De Martini and Giuliano Panella, this 8-track album is a vibrant mix of styles, ranging from country to electronic.

GENOVESE BOSSA is Four Flies’ heartfelt tribute to Augusto Martelli, marking 10 years since his passing. OUT TODAY on all digital platforms. Listen here 👉 found.ee/GenoveseBossa-1

This special release brings together 6 Latin-infused tracks from the late 1970s, originally recorded for Martelli’s own label Aguamanda Records. 🇧🇷 Each piece joyfully explores the musical connection between Brazilian grooves and the Genoese dialect.

Opening with the cheeky “Butta La Pasta, Señora”, the EP quickly dives into the melodic Genoese-Portuguese fusion of “Scia Cattaen, Scia Me I Fa I Taggiaen.” Get into the groove with the funkier “O Mae Ma,” dance to the vibrant “Bom De De Bom Bom,” and discover “Scigoa”—a previously unreleased 1977 track originally written for Ricchi e Poveri.

⭐️ Celebrate Martelli’s legacy with us!

From the smoky, seductive allure of “Pink Lights” to the electrifying beats of “Official News”, “Racing”, and “Scoop”, this collection is a jazz-funk anthem.

🔔 PRE-ORDER ALERT 🔔

After decades of myth and mystery, Gianfranco Reverberi’s full score for the infamous 1973 film directed by Renato Polselli, RIVELAZIONI DI UNO PSICHIATRA SUL MONDO PERVERSO DEL SESSO (Revelations of a Psychiatrist on the World of Sexual Perversion), is finally seeing the light of day. Set for release on November 22nd, it will be available on gatefold double LP and digitally. Pre-order here 👉 found.ee/RivelazioniDiUnoPsichiatra

Over the years, this score has become a lost holy grail for fans of golden-age Italian soundtracks—and for good reason. 🎶 The music is an electrifying blend of psychedelic grooves, relentless basslines, futuristic synths, and jazzy improvisation. It's wildly experimental and far ahead of its time.

📍 The album’s standout track, PSICOLIMITE, originally appeared on a mysterious 45 rpm single under the pseudonym Sharon Chatam e la sua Orchestra. This veil of anonymity only intensified its allure, fueling Reverberi’s daring vision and crafting a soundtrack that transcends the film’s reputation.

Recovered from the recently discovered original 16-track tapes, this psyched-out sonic masterpiece has been lovingly mixed and remastered by Fabrizio De Carolis at Reference Mastering and will be available on vinyl as a luxurious gatefold double LP, featuring stunning original artwork by Eric Adrian Lee.

Now, you can experience it in its full glory! 💥
