Lo-Fade District

Lo-Fade District is a vaporwave project founded in early 2025 by Italian producer Alberto Eugenio Grassigli and released under the visionary independent label One Universe Music. Conceived as a digital sanctuary for nostalgia-driven soundscapes, the project blends retro-futuristic aesthetics with hazy beats, turning fragmented memories of the past into immersive audio experiences.
Grassigli began experimenting with chopped-and-screwed textures, neon-lit synth pads, and lo-fi sampling techniques while searching for new ways to reinterpret the cultural debris of the late 20th century. The result was Lo-Fade District: a sonic world where the analog warmth of old cassette tapes coexists with the sleek melancholy of early virtual environments.
The project’s debut release, Soft-Focus Dreams, quickly gained attention within the online vaporwave community for its drifting ambience, surreal mall-core influences, and its signature “fade-into-infinity” production style. Listeners described the music as a digital city seen through a fogged-up window—familiar yet always slightly out of reach.
Supported by One Universe Music’s experimental ethos, Lo-Fade District expanded into multimedia territory, incorporating glitch art, liminal-space visuals, and interactive virtual installations. Grassigli’s goal is to build not only music but entire ephemeral districts—fleeting digital neighborhoods where sound becomes memory and memory becomes dream.

Lunedì Sera

Between Bologna and Rome, Lunedì Sera (or Lune di Sera) was born, one of the most interesting new realities on the Italian indie music scene.

For the production of the songs, Alberto collaborated with several emerging singers from the Italian music scene, helping to create a sound that is varied and engaging.
The sound recalls the atmospheres of the new Italian singer-songwriter movement—balancing melancholy and lightness, intimacy and choruses meant to be shouted together—using a fresh and direct language.
Lunedì Sera tells the story of the emotions and contradictions of the generation in their thirties: imperfect loves, endless nights, friendships that endure, dreams that struggle to find space but never stop existing. An urban, authentic, and immediate poetic vision, born from the meeting of two cities that symbolize Italian music: Bologna and Rome.
With their debut album just around the corner, Lunedì Sera is set to become one of the projects to watch in the national indie scene.

Matteo Serra (vocals & guitar), Giulia Righi (guitar, keyboards & backing vocals), Tommaso Vitale (vocals, bass, keyboards), Francesco Lodi (drums, backing vocals), Alberto Eugenio Grassigli (keyboards, synthesizers, backing vocals).
