Maffia + KFM Expanded :: A.N.D.’s Fashion Victims — free streaming now on Rizostream
2025 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Maffia Illicit Music Club — the first season ran from 1995 to 1996 — the cultural and sonic laboratory that between the late Nineties and the mid-2000s redrew the boundaries of experimental music, electronic music and club culture in the heart of Emilia. A unique relational ecosystem, capable of connecting artists, producers, DJs and thinkers in a network of projects that responded to no market logic whatsoever, but to one alone: the continuous germination of ideas, sounds and visions.
To mark this anniversary, and alongside the publication of “Tutte le mani del Maffia” (NUKFM027, 1 May 2026) — the first historical and critical reconstruction of the entire Maffia/KFM universe — Rizosfera-NUKFM has decided to make some of the fundamental records produced within the orbit of the Kom Fut Manifesto available for free listening on the Rizostream platform. The Kom Fut Manifesto was the operational and productive arm of the club. Records that are sold out, out of print, impossible to find: today free, for anyone who wants to listen.
A.N.D. — The Existentialism of the Post-Club
A.N.D. was not a group in any conventional sense. It was a condensation: three souls — producer and multi-instrumentalist Andrea Felli, NicoNote (voice and poetry) and David ‘Love’ Calò (dj resident) — converging in an aesthetic research project as rigorous as it was visionary. The name itself, an acronym of Andrea, NicoNote, David, carried within it the same logic of the Kom Fut Manifesto: not a band, but a field of forces; not a signature, but a system of relations.
A.N.D. was born and operated within the world of the Morphine, the privèe on the Romagna Riviera that NicoNote animated as curator from 1994 to 2007 — the island of poetry within the techno cathedral of the Riviera romagnola, as theorist and researcher Paolo Davoli described it (Tutte la mani del Maffia, Rizosfera/NUKFM027). Bringing the Morphine’s aesthetic into the Kom Fut/Maffia circuit meant opening a dialogue between two cult venues, two sonic geographies contaminating one another: the dancehall Romagna and the radical sonic culture of the Emilian hinterland.
Fashion Victims (KFM013, 2003) is the result of this encounter — and remains to this day one of the most precious gems in the entire KFM catalogue. The music of A.N.D. is the condensation into sound of an entire atmosphere: that of the Morphine, temple of a post-club elegance and of a demanding, refined existentialism. Not club music, not pure ambient, not song: something that inhabits the border zones between these worlds, with a rare precision and depth. The voice and poetry of NicoNote are the backbone of this sound — a presence that does not decorate but structures, that does not beautify but questions.
Within the Maffia system, A.N.D. represented precisely that capacity to deform individual creative trajectories, channelling new orbital energies into a new system: to wander, to deform, without ever normalising. A non-linear attraction that, more than twenty years on, still retains its full magnetic force.
The record has been sold out and out of print for years. To mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Maffia Illicit Music Club, Rizosfera-NUKFM is making it available for free streaming on the Rizostream platform. Listen here:
