Maffia + KFM Expanded :: Groove Safari’s debut album \u2014 free streaming now on Rizostream<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

2025 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Maffia Illicit Music Club<\/strong> \u2014 the first season ran from 1995 to 1996 \u2014 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.<\/h2>\n

To mark this anniversary, and alongside the publication of “Tutte le mani del Maffia”<\/strong> (NUKFM027, 1 May 2026) \u2014 the first historical and critical reconstruction of the entire Maffia\/KFM universe \u2014 Rizosfera-NUKFM<\/strong> has decided to make some of the fundamental records produced within the orbit of the Kom Fut Manifesto<\/strong> available for free listening on the Rizostream<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Groove Safari \u2014 The Transit Station<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fabrizio Tavernelli is a figure who moves through the world of Maffia and the Kom Fut Manifesto like a systems operator: composer, producer, sonic thinker, capable of holding together seemingly irreconcilable instances \u2014 the Italian song tradition and avant-garde electronics, mutant pop and radical experimentation. Groove Safari<\/strong> is the project in which this tension finds its most openly hybrid form and, in certain respects, its most courageous one.<\/p>\n

Born as a post everything<\/em><\/strong> project \u2014 post-Nomade Psichico, post-Materiale Resistente, post-Mutazioni \u2014 Groove Safari marks a sharp break with Tavernelli’s previous artistic trajectory. The choice to sing in Italian, in a landscape that was then strongly Anglocentric, is a declaration of identity before it is even an aesthetic choice. But it is neither nostalgia nor regionalism: it is the voice of a body that inhabits the present and deforms it from within.<\/p>\n

The eponymous record inaugurates the Nanotech<\/strong> sub-label, conceived as a molecular productive capsule<\/em> \u2014 a laboratory of assorted grooves cooked up in Tavernelli and Bronski’s freaky funghi<\/em>. The tracks that best capture this mutant phase are Fenomeno logico<\/em>, Cosmo Beat<\/em> and Nei tuoi occhi<\/em>: three distinct trajectories converging towards the same vanishing point \u2014 a song that refuses to be normalised. Groove Safari<\/strong> was the transit station between two worlds \u2014 AFA<\/strong> and Ajello<\/strong> \u2014 and, within the context of the Kom Fut Manifesto, it demonstrated that the Maffia’s orbit could contain the song-form too, as long as it was deformed, as long as it was free.<\/p>\n

Within the club’s relational system, Groove Safari occupied a peculiar position: it was not a club culture project in the strict sense, not music for the dancefloor, and yet it gravitated powerfully within the Maffia’s magnetic field, feeding it a diversity that extended its boundaries. It was precisely the kind of non-linear attraction<\/em> that made that ecosystem impossible to replicate.<\/p>\n

\n

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:<\/strong><\/p>\n
