Periferico, the project of Livio Fogli, from the circle around Italy's 80s cult synth figure Fred Ventura. A collection of rare material recorded between 1998 and 2009.
Track List
Periferico is back after his first release in 2023 with a very special 5 tracker EP. All the tracks were produced between 1998 and 2009 and we were able to recover them from old DATs. While the A side is written and produced entirely by Livio, the B side was co-produced with Luigi Mussi showcasing the first 2 drum&bass tracks ever released on Undersound Recordings.
The EP opens with Sixth Event (2004), a slow, hypnotic track with a trance-infused, syncopated disco vibe, making it perfect for 5am listening and setting a reflective mood. Car Ride (2009) is an acid slow-burner, characterised by classic Periferico chords and a mesmerising sequencer, offering a laid-back yet evolving energy that pulls you in. Twelve Dances (2009) stands out with its filtered chords, solid bass-line, and melancholic pad harmonies, creating an emotional depth that resonates. The B-side includes Cuts and Seamed (1998), a vintage drum & bass track with an experimental, dark vibe, adding intensity and unpredictability to the mix. Finally, 2 Weeks (2001) carries a cinematic, slow drum & bass feel, evoking a serene, peaceful atmosphere—perfect for quiet moments of introspection or calm.

Opening the EP, "Sixth Event" (2004) is electro-funk with trance-inflected syncopation and a 5 a.m. disco vibe. "Car Ride" (2009) is acid, slow, with classic Periferico chords and a hypnotic sequencer. "Twelve Dances" (2009) is an emotional track built on a solid bassline, filtered chords and melancholic pad harmonies. The B-side holds two drum & bass cuts: the experimental, darkly atmospheric "Cuts and Seamed" (1998) and the slower "2 Weeks" (2001). (Original Japanese text by Saito)
