Fabio Di Ranno e Fabio Fraschini, autori, musicisti e producer, con il progetto MILANO 84 sviluppano un concept che nasce dal desiderio di manipolare il pop degli anni 80 per portarlo in quello di oggi e vedere l'effetto che fa. Ad accompagnarli nel live set Alice Silvestrini, vocalist con cui hanno già avuto modo di lavorare in studio. Il loro primo album "Monochromatic”, uscito ad ottobre 2021 vanta collaborazioni del calibro di Vincenzo Salvia (Stranger Things) e Fabio Liberatori (Dalla, Stadio). L’immaginario visivo e narrativo degli 80’ è talmente forte che continua ad influenzarci. MILANO 84 gioca soprattutto con alcune iconicità trasversali degli 80 italiani (e non solo) per farle proprie, avvicinandole al gusto contemporaneo. Musica, design, fumetto, arte, tv e cinema, tante sono le influenze che nutrono il concept, e tanti anche i ringraziamenti: La musica italo disco, l’euro-synth pop felice e triste, la new wave italiana e anche Battiato, Alexander Robotnick, Krisma, Gazebo, Garbo, Matia Bazar, Baustelle, Delta V, Pet shop boys, Alphaville, Duran Duran, New Order, Madonna, Goldfrapp, Chromatics. Ennio Morricone, Elio Fiorucci, Mario Convertino, Stefano Tamburini, Graziano Origa (Punk Artist), Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Edo Bertoglio, Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Frigidaire, Alter Linus e Diabolik. I synth di produzione italiana, le moto Caballero e i ciclomotori Piaggio, i brand di moda paninara, le lampade Artemide, Poltronova e il design che tutti ci invidiano ancora, il tennis giocato con le racchette di legno. La tv catodica e quello che c’era dentro, Mister Fantasy e tutto quello che è venuto dopo, Dario Argento, David Lynch, Marco Ferreri, Nicolas Winding Refn, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Stranger Things, Sing Street, Chiamami col tuo nome, Breakfast Club, Il tempo delle mele, Sotto il vestito niente, Irma Vep.
