From Dukwa's new EP 'Matter of Time', out Nov 29: https://lnk.to/GUDU013
Pre-order: https://dukwa.bandcamp.com/album/matter-of-time

Gudu is excited to welcome Dukwa to the label, with a four-track EP of prime time club workouts that are as powerful as they are tender.

Based in Florence, Dukwa made his name in the mid-to-late 2010s with a series of releases on Numbers, Bosconi, Tdsr and his own Dukwa Music label, picking up top tier support from Annie Mac, Ben UFO, Seth Troxler, Pete Tong and more.

The tracks that make up Matter of Time, Dukwa’s debut for Gudu, are intertwined with his hardware-driven live show, and were developed in tandem with recent live performances. The EP’s lead track ‘Prune’ was born from “playing my Nord, trying to find some cool melodies and basses to add to my live show”, but after Dukwa came across the track’s distinctive bassline, it then formed the starting point to an entire new live set.

Likewise, ‘VoX’ stemmed from a happy studio mistake: in Dukwa’s words, “when I recorded the first loop of the bassline, I thought I played with impeccable timing - but it wasn’t!”, but the off-beat live programming turned out to be a revelation, and the track’s wonky feel became its distinctive calling card. Elsewhere, Dukwa describes ‘Jeopardize’ as “his first ‘close-techno’ track” since his 2015 collaboration with Herva (“I love it because it was unexpected and powerful in the same way”), while the EP’s closing track ‘Nuvola’ stemmed from an internal conversation about taking his music “deeper and simpler”, leading to one of Dukwa’s most melodic and emotional tracks yet.

As with all of Dukwa’s music, everything on Matter of Time feels thick and textural but most importantly human, full of natural movement and rhythm. In his words, “complexity is not always the best choice you can take in music - but it’s an art to make complex music feel simple and enjoyable.”

02. Jeopardize

Floorplan - Never Grow Old (Re-Plant)

Robert and Lyric Hood AKA Floorplan return to Classic with two-track release ‘The Curse Breaker / What You Need’, further demonstrating their unique gospel house sound. With their growing catalogue of previous Classic releases gaining extensive club support from tastemakers such as Dan Shake, TSHA, Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler to name a small few, as well as widespread specialist radio support, the appetite for Floorplan’s Classic output is evident. Now the father and daughter duo return with another adventurous vocal sample for their latest release; ‘The Curse Breaker’ combines a religious sermon with expertly produced house, building from a small flame to its euphoric, blazing climax. Next up, ‘What You Need’ displays the duo’s disco influences with a heavy dose of classic 20th century soul.

Truesoul’s celebrates its 100th release with a masterful offering from Riva Starr’s new Hyperloop project.

Over the course of its 15-year lifespan, Truesoul has excelled at giving a platform to the groovier end of the techno spectrum, showcasing releases with everyone from Maetrik and Cirez D, to Hot Since 82, Reset Robot and of course label founder and A&R Adam Beyer. 

With his new techno orientated project Hyperloop, Riva Starr becomes the latest esteemed artist to join the label. The lead track ‘Resilience’ is crisp and punchy, and made immediately memorable by the ‘90s influenced house strings that run throughout. When Beyer dropped it during his recent daytime set at Sonus Festival, it was a stirring highlight. ‘Fallen Angel’ is centered around a sublime piano melody and is the kind of composition that was tailored made for a blissful morning set. Offering an effective contrast to the original, man-of-the-moment Tiger Stripes follows up his excellent ‘Body Trip’ EP with a powerful percussive rework of ‘Fallen Angel’, injecting his version with an Arabic-flavoured vocal.

The world is about to explode. Cut off from humanity, @loodss looks within, recalling echoes from an alternate reality: Pure energy, pure ecstasy, pure joy, pure freedom. Amid an atmosphere of uncertainty, only a balance of nostalgia for yesterday and hope for tomorrow can save us. When the world begins to spin again, we will convert this chaos into our very own... Pure Bliss Meltdown.
