Universound is a band consisted of five young musicians from Italy. Formed in 2016, they are embracing different styles and contaminations and constantly developing their own sound, which has been shaped by different influential musical trends, but is organic and effective. Improvisation skills, interplay, and synergy are the key points of their live performances. A Universound concert is a show with multiple musical facets, mainly based on a funk approach with electronic experimentation hints: this combination has given rise to the “Deep Funk” sound. The sound journey is explosive, engaging, and innovative. The group was born and grew up in Chiaravalle (Ancona, Marches, IT). In 2017 Universound won the Mangiadischi contest in Fermo, sharing the stage with the rapper Rancore. The debut album Elefunk was recorded and released in 2018: eight original tracks marked by a decise funk nature. The second album Moonlight Drive was published by Epictronic and Overdub Recordings in January 2022. Moonlight Drive is an emotional journey, made of fast-paced rhythms and sounds from outer space, telling a story and representing a historical period: it arises and develops throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This album embodies the concept of resilience: the new 8 tracks are created in synergy, with the desire to never give up.
