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
