“MOPMOP.… .a bastard performance of modern jazz based on riffs looped almost till/to monotony..." (from Nestor Ortiz Oderigo, Dictionary of Jazz-PBR 1961).
From this definition, the emerging Mop Mop find inspiration for their debut album, merging their characteristic sound; vibes and piano, rhythm and exotic percussion, improvised jazz, italian melodies and hint of electro-vintage.
“The 11th Pill” is above all a mix of latin-jazz, frenetic swing and ballads, respectful to its historical roots from which it is inspired (there are numerous citations), but in a way also "dancefloor-oriented" succeeding perfectly to combine mediterranean melodies and afro-american beats in a unique modern jazz interpretation.
Mop Mop is the brainchild of Andrea Benini, musician, producer and dj who has been active in the scene for more than ten years exploring a large variety of musical genres, from club to jazz music.
In 2007 the 12inches "A perfect day" (Deja Vu / TamTam Studio) has obteined good international success and recognition through DJ's like Gilles Peterson, Michael Ruetten, Simon Harrison, Dom Servini, to name just a few. Mop Mop's music shakes Jazz and eclectic club sound with an Italian taste that joins international tendencies. their second album, "Kiss of Kali", was released on september 2008 by INFRACom! (Germany), with a new 12" EP with remixes by Patchworks and Nekta.
