Gaudi - No Prisoners & launch party

Gaudi’s latest album ‘No Prisoners’ arrives during a very successful time for the London based producer and artist. He’s been nominated for a BBC World Music Award for his last album ‘Dub Qawwali’ (with legendary Sufi singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), collaborated with French musical inventor Michel Moglia and his unique Fire Organ - performing to a crowd of 350,000 at The Coliseum, Rome - while still finding time for official collaborations with Horace Andy, Grandmaster Flash, Simple Minds and an official Bob Marley project.

In all his albums Gaudi has worked to create his own down-tempo style using elements of dub, electronica and world music. ‘No Prisoners’ takes a step in an upbeat direction with raw production, live bass, guitars, percussion, drums, keys and more meeting Gaudi’s signature analogue mastery of vintage synthesizers, tape echoes and spring reverb. The result gives ‘No Prisoners’ the warmth and authenticity that has become synonymous with Gaudi’s music, while being his most energetic release yet.

A highly respected line-up of guests adds international appeal to the album. Amongst them, California’s conscious political lyricist and founder of Spearhead Michael Franti lends his emotive tones to ‘There’s Enough’, Brooklyn based reggae artist Dr Israel (of Easy Star All Stars ‘Dub Side Of The Moon’ fame) features on ‘No Time’, multi-million selling Italian singer-songwriter Elisa gives a feminine edge to ‘Brainwashed Again’ and Jamaican Reggae vocalist Kenny Knots goes deep with ‘Strictly Goodness’. Other notable guests include pioneering down-tempo dub producer Dub Gabriel on ‘Barracudub’ and UK electro-breaks producers Dom Smart (aka Neurodriver) and Tom Real who feature on ‘No More Blood’ and ‘Bad Boy Bass’ respectively.

‘No Prisoners’, as the title suggests, is an album made without concessions, each track uncompromising in the delivery of its sonic payload.

Gaudi is throwing a launch party for the album at The Truman Brewery on Wednesday 28th July - Doors open 7.30pm.
