Durty Geeks are a band at the boundary between Soul,
Funk and Hip Hop born in 2013. The lineup is quite
uncommon in the Italian music scene, despite the usual
four elements: Federico "Piezo" Pezzotta, on the
electric piano, keyboards and synths; Francesco "Frenz"
Crovetto, founding member and drummer of OTU; Gregorio
"Greg" Conti, bass player also part of Verbal and
Bangarang!; Edoardo "DJ Edo" Fumagalli, on the
turntables and samplers.
The Durty Geeks sound universe is an illegitimate son
of Hip Hop, but without the main element - the voice -
replaced by scratches and samples. This produces an
instrumental form that winks at the American soul and
funk of the 60s and 70s, as well as the Italian
composers who in those same years signed cult movie
soundtracks: Piccioni, Nicolai, Bacalov, Trovaioli to
name a few.
From La Dama Rossa uccide sette volte to The Mack, the
sound flows like a second feature film screening. A
sequence shot that does not indulge in the past but
that leads straight into modernity thanks to the more
contemporary interventions of synth and scratches, and
to sporadic experimentations in electronics.
The first EP We Gun Make It was released in 2014, an
exploration of the american imaginary linked to weapons,
between urban and rural contexts, containing 3 tracks,
self-produced and printed by CORPOC.
Now the first full length album is out, titled "Also
Starring", 9 tracks plus 5 skits mixed by Tommaso
Colliva (Muse, Afterhours, Caliber 35 etc.) which
constitutes an instrumental journey through B-movies
filmography, citing cinema subgenres such as wuxia,
blaxploitation and italo horror.
