AURA007
New Energy EP
22.03.2024

Somne returns to AURA DINAMICA.

The label head follows up his 2020 LP Ostinati Ritmici with a new EP of floor-focused material that combines lush synth work with breaks and razor sharp sound design in the artist’s characteristic style.

Where Ostinati Ritmici drew on hypnotic techno and more abstract compositional techniques for inspiration, New Energy sees a shift in the artist’s approach, marrying careful songwriting with effective production to build tracks that exist as both DJ set highlights and standalone recordings. Uplifting title track New Energy builds neatly over its run-time, a well-defined break underpinning bass and pad components that shift and bend in tandem with a stylish, gated vocal. Blue Spirit takes its lead from classic UKG, updating familiar components for modern sound systems and adding unique layers of grit and noise. Skipping drums flex alongside stylish bass motifs to drive the composition forward with euphoric breakdowns charging the mood before the drops. Emotive roller Midnight City closes out the EP, the only 4x4 recording on the record, delivered in classic Somne style with dense, percussive drums working alongside a pitch-bent bassline and neat harmonic components – as musical as it is effective as a DJ tool.

Fresh off the back of the label’s busiest and most acclaimed year yet, Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records kicks off 2024 with the launch of a new EP series, titled Club Gudu.

A home for dance singles aimed squarely at the club, Club Gudu is all about instinct and not overthinking – offering the label’s roster and extended family an outlet for their dancefloor impulses, indulges and when it suits them, experiments.

Club Gudu 001 comes from Dukwa, the Florence-based artist who has proved a favourite with Solomun, Ben UFO, Pete Tong, Seth Troxler and naturally, Peggy herself. It marks his third appearance on Gudu following 2022’s Matter of Time EP and a contribution to 2023’s Gudu & Friends compilation, and showcases him at his stripped-down, precision-tooled best.

In Dukwa’s words: “how a photographer captures memories in photos, I do the same with music. I recorded these tracks during a very strange period of my life, full of changes. I was trying to ‘Take Me Away’ from a ‘Digital Forest’ I had fallen into, unable to clearly see what was happening around me. Then I found ‘The Hedge’, I crossed it, and I realized it was just my life that once again proved to me that I am stronger than I think. Life is wonderful.”

Tracklist:
01. Take Me Away
02. The Hedge
03. Digital Forest

Electronic producers Reed Kackley (BAILE) and Dmitry Kuzmin (Nuage) team up for the 2nd time with a fresh batch of moody breakbeats. The tracks began as short demos of Kuzmin’s that were then sent back and forth as each producer added new sounds and ideas. The result is an EP that marries Kackley’s melancholy electronica with Kuzmin’s chillout dance style.
