Mike Bandoni

"Lost Communication" by Mike Bandoni, released on Funk Night Records (FNR), is a concept album that launches listeners on a discovery mission through alien territory, inspired by journeys into interstellar space toward a supermassive black hole. The LP is marked by heavy and funky organic drums, deep cosmic textures, and a fusion of sounds drawing inspiration from the 1970s to present day. Known for his powerful drumming—Bandoni is the founder of Funkshone—the record combines groove-laden beats with spacey synths and atmospheric layers, creating an immersive and cinematic funk-soul experience. The album stands out for its blend of break-heavy rhythms and adventurous sonic exploration, capturing both the energy of classic funk and a futuristic cosmic vibe.
