Hit Week Festival & Conference Presents CALIBRO 35

Recognized worldwide as one of the coolest projects on the Italian alternative music scene, CALIBRO 35 (Massimo Martellotta, Enrico Gabrielli, Fabio Rondanini and Tommaso Colliva) have become an essential point of reference both nationally and internationally. Originally conceived as a project exploring the sounds of the golden age of Italian film scores, in just over fifteen years they have released no fewer than eight albums, composed numerous soundtracks — including the acclaimed TV series Blanca — curated the sound design for Radio Uno and IsoRadio, and created special projects celebrating iconic and lesser-known music alike, such as the monumental Scacco al Maestro dedicated to Ennio Morricone.

Their music has been sampled by hip-hop heavyweights like Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Timbaland, and they have shared the stage with artists such as Sharon Jones, Thundercat, Sun Ra Arkestra, Muse, JET, and many others.

Their latest studio release, Exploration - the ninth album in their discography - came out on June 6th, 2025, on the independent label Record Kicks, with Roberto Dragonetti on bass.

An album that marks a return to their roots while embracing new sonic possibilities, Exploration represents an evolution deeply rooted in the band’s extensive experience with film scores and performances at festivals across Italy and Europe. It pushes their style beyond the confines of jazz, transforming their signature sound into a limitless musical journey — the natural progression from their previous EP Jazzploitation.

They recently composed the soundtracks for the new seasons of Sandokan and Blanca 3 (Lux Vide), two major Rai 1 productions set to be released in fall 2025, further cementing their role as a leading name in music for visual media.
