Beautiful faces and well-dressed people stared back at her from the front of the glossy magazines. She dispised this fabricated image of coolness that these publications purported; they were no models to follow, they were the antithesis of her own perception of what's cool. Rummaging in her bag, she brandished a black pen, removed the cap and fashioned them all matching glasses and moustaches.  

Six years after his debut on Gang Of Ducks, which helped define the early sound of the label, Milan-based producer Haf Haf returns with Pattern In Chaos. Like the name suggests the eight tracks blur the lines between genres, seeing him explore the boundaries of production to find new sonic pathways. Described by the label as "a really singular record which moves energies in a new way", each track is unconventional and surprising, twisting themselves into different and unexpected forms.

Pattern In Chaos

PREMIERE: Haf Haf - U Are Not Cool [Gang of Ducks]

Gang of Ducks is a multidisciplinary platform
operating through record releases, events, sound installations, video and editorial projects.

The study of primitive languages, ritual practices and the definition of club and urban culture, has pushed the collective towards questioning the relationship between nature and digital as well as technological development, touching various kinds of sounds.
From rougher and nebulous ones to club-oriented all the way to more dilated, hypnotic, emotional and meditative ones.

At the same time the label is developing a few editorial projects. Sn50 (Nico Vascellari, Evol, Ruben Patiño, Anna Homler) is a zine format dealing with themes developed by artists dwelling in the music realm. Chronicles is a sort of ‘diary’ through which friends and selected artists can develop one specific issue.

Supporting the label activity, Gang of Ducks participates in festivals and plays in clubs with showcases or as GOD SoundSystem. The latter sees the label founders as djs and offers sets in line with the collective’s vision, sometimes playing own productions and supporting the experience with visuals.
