Zeitgeist', the debut LP from celebrated Italian electronic music producer Dukwa, begins with a timeless dancefloor equation; swung drums, a clattering cowbell and flickering hi-hats lurch forward into a serious bassline. Within seconds, dancers are flung into the house anthem 'You Don't Want It' that's equally raw and charismatic, sensual and powerful. For the next forty-five minutes of rhythm, melody and studio trickery, 'Zeitgeist' continues to bend time, eras and bodies.Having released EP's on respected labels including Numbers, Gudu and Diynamic Records, invariably with the support of Jackmaster, Peggy Gou and Solomun, Dukwa folds into the Slacker85 philosophy with ease, laying down a statement of intent that's squarely for the dancers. Indebted to a youth digging in Florence's record stores, embracing the peerless Italian rave scene, as well as his recent appearances at Circoloco and Kappa Future, 'Zeitgeist' subverts it's knowing title to dance between styles with an urgency you can feel in your heels.Before long, Dukwa is smoothly oscillating between acid overdrive and weightless house on 'Catch All', while the balance between softness and severity is refined even further on 'Show Me', showcasing the record's first euphoric breakdown, a heads down, hands up moment that sacrifices none of his organic flow. Ably mastering many corners of his record box, 'Avec Moi' makes a confident left turn into tunneling trance, interspersed with a sensual French vocal.'All You Need' provides the record's beating heart, Dukwa's overarching philosophy front and center around layers of synthesized groove, build and release: 'The world is full of fighting, ignorance and greed, but right here on the dancefloor - the rhythm's all you need'. Meanwhile, 'My Turn' channels more cinematic instincts, zoning in on an elegant piano riff in order to unravel a quietly epic deep house trip.As 'Zeitgeist' heads toward it's conclusion, Dukwa effortlessly squeezes the most emotive juice from his well-oiled studio. 'Sad Eyes' possesses the emotional punch of many vintage end-of-night anthems, still driving yet touched with a wistful ecstasy. Finally, for closing passage 'Stck1', Dukwa truly let's the machines sing, capturing a brief symphony of harmonizing modulations that dip into weirdo electronica, without ever skipping his signature beats.Tracklisting:A1.
