Brain De Palma: Rhythmption

1. Product Details

Peggy Gou's Gudu Records is proud to present the label's first ever album, from someone who's been part of the family since the start: Brain de Palma. Born in Ukraine, settling as a child in Turin and spending three years in Egypt before settling in his current home of Berlin, Alexei Versino has one hell of a story. Musically, he's been around for a decade now, releasing his previous music (solo as Panama Keys, and also as one half of the duo Stump Valley) on labels like Dekmantel, Soul Clap and Off Minor, before settling on Gudu with his Brain de Palma alias. But personally, his relationship to music goes much deeper: as a young child growing up in the former Soviet Union, a lot of European music was banned, so he relied on his well-travelled uncle to bring him back smuggled cassettes of Italo Disco, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Erasure and early DJ mixes - getting an illicit musical education behind closed doors as a child. He still carries that underground mindset to this day: the press release for his last Gudu EP, Purple Brain, reads: 'dedicated to all the ravers, DJs, aficionados who had to go through the lockdowns... a shout out to people who keep on fighting for the underground culture!'. The perfect candidate for Gudu's first album, then. Comprising eleven tracks made across the past year, Versino describes Rhythmption as 'my redemption through rhythm', and a tribute to 'seeing people enjoying themselves on the dancefloor, that feeling of unity where people become one thing, regardless of their life path or social status.' 'Rhythmption' charts a path through sun-drenched Balearic house, stuttering drum work-outs, Italo-inspired synth romps, trancey house, and even a touching tribute to his former home of Egypt, taking in every aspect of Versino's journey to date. After all, it's not all about the destination, it's also the sights you see along the way. Tracklisting: A1. Rhythmption A2. Sirens A3. Cardiopalma A4. Brainbow B1. Mind The Gap B2.
