Delta V opens ‘In fatti ostili’ to 11 remixes nine months after the original

Delta V’s “In fatti ostili RMX” takes the Italian electro-pop duo’s most socially charged album, eleven tracks of terse commentary on modern hostility and individualism, and hands each one to a new producer to rebuild from scratch. The result is eleven parallel readings of the same argument, all now on Spotify as a release distinct from the original.

The album being remixed carries real weight in the Italian pop scene. “In fatti ostili” is Carlo Bertotti and Flavio Ferri’s seventh record, featuring vocalist Martina Albertini, released by Universal Music Italia as a lucid portrait of contemporary Italian society: insular, individually hostile, turned away from itself. Production by Paolo Gozzetti and Roberto Vernetti gave the material a restrained electro-pop framing that the RMX now opens for new interpretation.

The scope of “In fatti ostili RMX” puts it well beyond a standard single-track remix treatment. Eleven reprocessed tracks suggest the band’s intent is to run the entire social argument through a different sonic lens, inviting producers to find which parts of the original material carry differently under new conditions. A remix album built at this length functions as a parallel document rather than a supplement: it asks to be heard as a coherent statement in its own right.

What the remix format cannot accomplish is updating the underlying diagnosis. The lyrics of “In fatti ostili” describe a specific state of Italian social life, and those words do not change under new production. Listeners already familiar with the original will experience the RMX as a series of comparisons: how does “Regole a Milano,” one of the album’s key singles, shift when its sonic context changes? For listeners arriving without that context, the album carries social commentary without the explanatory scaffolding the original provided. Neither experience is wrong, but both have limits the RMX format introduces rather than resolves.

Delta V returned to recording after a multi-year break with “Heimat” before committing to “In fatti ostili,” a pattern consistent with a group that treats output rate as secondary to consolidation. The remix project extends that logic: rather than advancing to a new album with new arguments, the band recirculates an existing one through different hands. For an Italian electro-pop group of their tenure, the move signals confidence that the material is worth the additional investment, and that the state of Italian social life described on the original remains an accurate diagnosis.

“In fatti ostili RMX” is streaming now on Spotify, catalogued on MusicBrainz across eleven tracks. It extends the original Universal Music Italia release from October 2025 into a new format, and marks Delta V’s latest studio statement this summer.
