Description: Broadcast on Thursday 29 October 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). Season 16, episode 6. Vincenzo builds a twelve-track hour of upbeat, danceable music where nearly every song hides something darker in the lyrics.

It passes through new club tracks from Jimi Jules with TRI/XON, JØRD and Chris Lorenzo, Crystal Fighters' four-in-the-morning "Plage", a Kinks classic about the night and SBTRKT's masked producer. It closes with Hot Chip's "Random Violence", a tribute to the late Optimo DJ Keith McIvor and to anyone who spent a life sending songs into the world.

Title: Bombolone: Second lives, remixes and the original thing

Description: Broadcast on Thursday 22 October 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). Season 16, episode 5. Vincenzo builds a thirteen-track hour around second lives: new releases that have barely begun, remasters, remixes, and the original recording that came before the famous cover.

The selection opens with "Diamanti" by okgiorgio and PARISI, released only days ago, and TOKiMONSTA's recent single "Memory on the Run". It moves through Serge Gainsbourg's 1975 provocation, Skunk Anansie's reunion-era "An Artist Is An Artist" and Joan Manuel Serrat's "Mediterráneo". It then lands in disco and soul, with the remastered "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones, a Breakbot remix of Candi Staton and a preview of Dam Swindle's upcoming DJ-Kicks. It heads towards the end with Gloria Jones and the 1964 original of "Tainted Love", and closes with Alex Izenberg's "Breathless Darkness". Along the way, a short comment on this week's protests across Europe, with a nod to John Lennon.

Description: Bombolone is Vincenzo's weekly independent music show, recorded in Madrid and broadcast on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). This week he is back from Barcelona, where he met the friend he started radio with in London. He talks about the sea, about distance, and about a city that makes you question it.

Twelve tracks about pressure, rebellion and getting by: the Caribbean-British funk of Cymande, the constructive destruction of Talking Heads, the domestic trap behind Wham!'s synth pop, the Italian street sound of Bassi Maestro and Casino Royale, a dance-floor song about a dictatorship from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and the urban decline of The Specials.

Broadcast on Thursday 8 October 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). As Madrid accelerates towards the Hispanidad celebrations and Trieste prepares for the historic sails of the Barcolana regatta, Vincenzo curates a sophisticated thirteen track selection exploring urban survival and timeless songcraft.

This episode traverses continents and decades without nostalgia. Highlights include the refined neo soul groove of Jungle, Piero Umiliani’s golden Italian television library music, and the iconic slack rock poetry of Pavement. The narrative reaches an emotional peak with Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento’s defiant 1976 Brazilian anthem against authoritarian censorship. The journey continues with 1980s Nigerian disco by Oby Onyioha, polyrhythmic bass architecture from Pino Palladino and Blake Mills, Nico’s haunting reflection on Chelsea Girl, and Kendra Morris’s urgent Brooklyn soul finale.

Twelve tracks. Overmono's Good Lies, the partial optimisms you tell yourself because they work.

Spiller from Verona and Sophie Ellis-Bextor beating Victoria Beckham to number one in the UK in 2000. Mike Dunn from Chicago asking if this is house. It is. Closes with Frank Ocean and André 3000 on Pink Matter, the brain, what it's made of, what's worth keeping. André 3000 answers from the other end. Oh and Vieux Farka Touré plays Sala Mon Live Madrid on October 29.

Season sixteen. Vincenzo thanks Lucia and gets on with it.

The opener is honest: more broken, more enthusiastic, more extreme, further from himself than usual. Which is not a complaint. The edges are where things actually happen. Twelve tracks built around that — from Mexican Institute Of Sound and Colombia's Meridian Brothers opening with a track about a champion and funeral goods, through AfroCubism (Malian and Cuban musicians rediscovering shared African roots), Vashti Bunyan on a horse in 1970, Teddy Pendergrass at twenty-two with that voice, and Patrick Watson leaving words behind with the episode's title track. Closes with Mashrou' Leila remixed by Jade, Lebanese diaspora talking to Lebanese diaspora. Both still here.

Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).

Tracklist: Mexican Institute Of Sound & Meridian Brothers · AfroCubism · Alexis Taylor & Mike Simonetti · Jaakko Eino Kalevi · Flavien Berger · Sabine McCalla · The Zen Circus & Brian Ritchie · Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes · We Have Band · Vashti Bunyan · Patrick Watson · Mashrou' Leila & Jade (LB)

The Pope left Monday. The city exhaled. Bad Bunny is still at the Bernabéu. Soundset opens the Conde Duque courtyard for the first time in four seasons this Friday and Saturday. June is properly here.

Vincenzo just finished Ian Leslie's John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs — a book about two people who made something extraordinary by pushing hard against each other — and is still mid-Auster.

This episode follows that logic: Bladee (Swedish cloud rap) and Current 93 (David Tibet's English neofolk, 1982) meet on a track called Fox & Birch and it works precisely because of the distance between them. CCCP say they're fine, with their usual beautiful ambiguity. Lee Scratch Perry, dead since 2021, on a track called Scratch Is Alive. Phoenix in 2000. LCD Soundsystem not going anywhere. André Toussaint closing with a bolero from 1939 that by now belongs to everyone.

Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).

Tracklist:

01 Make A Dance - No Way Out

02 Tiga, MEDUZA - You Gonna Want Me (I Know)

13 LCD Soundsystem - Time to Get Away

14 Andre Toussaint - Perfida

Vincenzo picked up Mr. Vertigo -Paul Auster's 1994 novel about a street orphan who learns to levitate, just one centimetre off the ground — and realised he hadn't properly read a book in a long time. Not scrolled. Read. From that, a question: what's the difference between relaxing (absence) and being chill (presence without pressure)?

This episode is the second thing. Siji's Irinajo — journey in Yoruba, remixed by Osunlade into something slow and horizontal — sits at the centre. Around it: Leyla McCalla with Haitian traditional music on cello and banjo. David Bowie in 1966, nineteen years old, before he became David Bowie. Hot Chip going down. DARKSIDE going deeper. Massive Attack closing with Lately from Protection, 1994 — the same year as the Auster novel. Unplanned. Appropriate.

Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).

Tracklist: Zuffalo · Grace Jones · TV Girl · Rareș · Siji · Bama & The Family · Chicha Libre · Leyla McCalla · David Bowie · Hot Chip · DARKSIDE · Fallen Angel · Massive Attack

Late May in Madrid: San Isidro is over, the Feria del Libro opens tomorrow in the Retiro, and the city is doing that thing it does when it doesn't quite know whether summer has started yet.

From that particular Thursday afternoon, Vincenzo puts together a set that moves from a sixty-year-old Detroit soul record — Darrell Banks' Open the Door to Your Heart, a Northern Soul cornerstone that never stopped working — through Hamburg electro (Digitalism), Belgian institution Soulwax, and SAULT, a British collective who publish and vanish and refuse to have faces.

Charlotte Gainsbourg carries the weight of three losses in a single track without making it feel like grief. Joe Goddard makes gospel house sound inevitable. Closes with good news, because someone has to.

1. Phileas - Better Days
2. Darrell Banks - Open the Door to Your Heart
3. EMBRZ - Gather Together
4. Digitalism - Zdarlight
5. Anni B Sweet - Adiós con alegría
6. Dyzen - She Likes
7. Soulwax - Perfect We Are Not (Edit)
8. Joe Goddard, Fiorious - New World (Flow)

Recorded in the calm before Madrid’s San Isidro storm, Vincenzo reflects on a life without filters -this episode dives into the sharp details of our daily urban reality through a meticulously curated soundtrack.

Recorded the day San Isidro kicks off in Madrid and the day after the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Friuli earthquake, a tremor that left permanent marks on the floors of Vincenzo's childhood home in Pordenone. This week also brings a personal reckoning with the death of Alex Zanardi, who died on May Day, six days before this episode: Vincenzo first saw him race karts in Pordenone in 1992, at 25 years old, and never stopped watching.

Between those moments: Lola Hammond's unsettling opener, Aldous Harding doing something categorically strange with her voice, Kim Gordon at seventy saying not today with absolute conviction, Gorillaz bridging seven decades of music through Asha Bhosle, and Harry Styles — yes, Harry Styles — making the case for stepping outside the lines. Closes with Gia Margaret, quietly.

Closing with the ethereal "Alive Inside" by Gia Margaret, Vincenzo invites you to find your own internal vibration amidst the urban noise.

Tracklist:

• Lola Hammond - Fungal Infection
• L'Impératrice - Voodoo?
• Wax Head - Clatter Coats
• Aldous Harding - One Stop
• Avalon Emerson - Eden

Description: Broadcast during Madrid’s celebrated Noche de los Libros, Vincenzo explores the intersection of sound, memory, and human nature. In this episode, we reflect on a humbling fact: despite modern technological leaps, our brains remain virtually unchanged from those of our ancestors 100,000 years ago. We still respond to ancestral fears with self-generated stories.

Drawing wisdom from Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, we navigate a world of shifting perceptions and Middle Eastern tensions through a curated soundtrack. This week features a special spotlight on Pordenone-based artist Francesco Candura (Stop the wheel), the poetic weight of Jim Morrison, and the raw Irish grit of Fontaines D.C.

Thursday afternoons in Madrid. Vincenzo has been doing this for fifteen seasons — Lisbon first, then Scotland, Amsterdam, London, Dubai, a detour through Venice, another through Beirut, and for the last eight years, here. Every week, an hour of music and the kind of observation you only get from someone who's been watching a city long enough to stop being impressed by it.

This week: Al Green dismantling the Beatles in slow motion. The Specials making a 1950 novelty song feel like a warning. The quiet side of the Stone Roses' debut. Cocteau Twins. Soundgarden. Spiritualized refusing to end. And the story of Linda Lyndell, who recorded What A Man in 1968, watched it disappear, and had to wait for Salt-N-Pepa to remind the world she existed.

Madrid dispatches along the way — Rosalía coming home for four nights, almond trees in bloom in a park most people walk past without stopping, Zelensky at the Moncloa. News from Trieste and Pordenone, where spring arrives with documentary films and, apparently, Judas Priest.

In Italian. On Radio Fragola Trieste, 104.5/104.8 FM, every Thursday at 14:00. Everywhere else as a podcast.

Description: Back in Madrid, Vincenzo navigates the complex emotions of a changing season. As the 45th edition of ARCOmadrid opens with a royal visit, the world feels the weight of the fourth day of conflict in the Middle East. From drone strikes in Riyadh to the maritime deadlock in the Strait of Hormuz, we acknowledge the shadows but seek light through music.

This episode is a reflection on heritage. From the end-of-Olympics serotonin to the jazz-inflected tribute to the ancient city of Isfahan, this is an hour of radio that bridges the gap between the local and the global.

Recording from a sun-drenched Madrid, Vincenzo returns with a clear head and a heart full of Italian memories. This episode reflects on art and life through the current exhibition at Porcia’s Casello di Guardia,

As Madrid anticipates the opening of the ARCO art fair, we navigate the transition from the quiet intimacy of the Friulian countryside to the vibrant urban energy of the Spanish capital. We shake off the post-Olympics fog with a curated selection of "musical endorphins", from the Italian pop homages of Róisín Murphy to the orchestral grandeur of Andrea Laszlo De Simone.

Recording from a crisp, sun-drenched Northeast Italy, Vincenzo explores the necessity of stepping back to find clarity. We navigate the cultural currents from the massive global impact of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show to the quiet, intentional life of Erlend Øye in Sicily.

This week is a deep dive into Italian authenticity. From the raw, Pordenone-bred energy of Sick Tamburo to the sophisticated social irony of Tutti Fenomeni, we examine why modern life needs a "slow courting" rhythm. We also celebrate the Lunar New Year through the lens of Madrid’s vibrant Usera district, finding beauty in the contrast between traditional dragons and contemporary beats.

On the eve of the Winter Olympics, Vincenzo ignores the snow forecasts and starts with a sun-drenched trip to the French Riviera. But the escapism doesn't last long. This episode is a sonic rollercoaster reflecting the manic energy of Madrid in February.

We move from the vintage cool of Marie Laforêt to the raw, blue-collar rock of Jack White and the infectious Afro-funk of Vaudou Game. Then, things get gritty: brace yourself for a heavy detour into Brazilian Baile Funk and Dominican Dembow—the true sound of the capital's late-night streets.

We decompress with the storytelling of Belle and Sebastian, the psychedelic grooves of Tame Impala, and the sophisticated jazz-fusion of The Blackbyrds. Finally, Bonnie Prince Billy closes the hour with an existential question that lingers long after the music stops.

Description: Vincenzo returns for another eclectic hour from the Spanish capital. In this episode, we navigate the deceptive winter sun of Madrid, discussing the city's obsession with the ongoing Padel Hexagon Cup and the looming tension of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics.

Musically, the journey moves from the acoustic calm of the Kings of Convenience to the urban jazz strut of Roy Hargrove, touching on Lebanese cinema nostalgia, classic ska, and lo-fi hip hop beats along the way. It is a soundtrack for walking through changing cities and "insane times".

Escaping the corporate noise of Madrid’s week, Vincenzo delivers a deeply curated hour of music and storytelling. This episode peels back the layers of the playlist, finding the grit behind the glamour.

Did you know soul legend Sharon Jones was a corrections officer at Rikers Island before finding fame? Or that HNNY wrote a house anthem about the imperfections of beautiful people? We dive into these stories, explore the "sad disco" of Rhye, and discuss why Neil Frances champions "dumb love" over overthinking.

From the chaotic tunnels of the M-30 to a surprising detour into the world of Bluey (yes, really), and finally landing on the biting social satire of Italy’s Rino Gaetano, this is radio for those who listen closely.

Velázquez skies, the drip of Pollock and the silence of Matisse | Bombolone 15.01.2026

Under the sharp, unyielding light of a Madrid winter, Vincenzo navigates the intersection of creative systems and urban rhythm. This episode reflects on the dialogue between Jackson Pollock’s kinetic action and Andy Warhol’s serial icons at the Thyssen-Bornemisza, contrasted with Matisse’s pursuit of essential colour at CaixaForum.

As the city vibrates with the arrival of Inverfest — featuring James Blake and Rufus T. Firefly — we also look towards the horizon as the countdown to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics begins.
