Planet Funk - Blooom (2026) [Hi-Res]

Released on Friday, January 16, 'BLOOOM' is the new album of unreleased tracks by Planet Funk, one of the most representative names in the Italian dance and electronic scene worldwide. 'BLOOOM' comes at the end of an intense, creative, and music-rich year that saw Alex Neri (DJ, keyboards, synthesizers), Marco Baroni (keyboards, piano, programming), Dan Black (vocals and guitar), and Alex Uhlmann (vocals and guitar) engaged in studio work, collaborations, and live performances in Italy and abroad, a journey that today transforms into new energy, into an even more open vision oriented towards the future. Exactly one year ago, Planet Funk released 'Nights in White Satin', a single that reached the top of the radio charts and kicked off a season full of concerts and DJ sets in Italy and worldwide. The subsequent 'I get a rush', the collaboration with Alfa and Manu Chao in the remix of their hit 'A me mi piace', and the track 'È Naturale' together with Francesca Michielin confirmed Planet Funk's ability to renew themselves and dialogue with different musical worlds, always remaining faithful to their identity. During this journey, music inevitably intertwined with life. The memory of Sergio Della Monica and Domenico 'Gigi' Canu, the pillars and founding souls of the Planet Funk project, is a living part of this new chapter. Their vision, creative spirit, and way of understanding music continue to be a constant guide, a deep root from which to generate new ideas and new directions. 'BLOOOM' is also this: a personal and artistic blooming that draws strength from the legacy left by Sergio and Gigi to transform it into movement, light, and future. A record that does not look back with nostalgia, but forward with awareness and momentum. Born in 1999, for over 25 years, Planet Funk has represented one of the most important, solid, and influential realities in the international electronic music scene. Born from the meeting of Souled Out! (Domenico 'GG' Canu and Sergio Della Monica) and Kamasutra (Marco Baroni and Alex Neri), over the years they have built a career of discographic successes, prestigious collaborations, and iconic performances. From their debut with 'Non Zero Sumness' in 2002, a gold record and a turning point for the band, to collaborations with significant artists on an international level, to major live successes, soundtracks, international commercials, and performances at Abbey Road Studios, Planet Funk has managed to reinvent themselves over time, maintaining a unique sound signature. In recent years, between anniversaries, new singles like 'The World’s End', 'Any Given Day', 'Nights in White Satin', 'I Get a Rush', and a long series of concerts in Italy and abroad, the collective has continued to demonstrate constant creative vitality.
