ITALIAN CRIME-FUNK

Imagine running from the police after a heist, the city lights flashing, tires screeching, adrenaline pumping.

Add some 70s urban rhythms, a taste of funk, a shot of jazz, and that unmistakable Italian flair — and here we are: our ultimate Italian crime funk playlist.

We’re somewhere between poliziesco and thriller: chase-scene funk, uptempo jazz incursions, electronic suspense, battle-ready breakbeats, gritty 70s city grooves, and a touch of blaxploitation made in Italy, all muscle and mystery, all attitude and groove.

All these soundtracks come from la crème de la crème of Italian composers: Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, Armando Trovajoli, Bruno Canfora, Franco Micalizzi, Berto Pisano, Riz Ortolani, Alessandro Alessandroni…… We might just have the richest, most star-studded playlist we’ve ever made. 

Perfect for a creative catwalk, a suspenseful luxury ad, or a high-impact scene in any film or series, this is music made for the screen. It never fails the viewer.
