Taishōgoto by Daniele Baldelli & Gaudi

The meeting between Italian dj Daniele Baldelli, legendary pioneer of the “Afro Cosmic Sound”, and Gaudi, one of the most sought-after producers and musicians on the international dub/electronic scene, began three years ago at the Jazz Café in London, city where Gaudi is based in and where he founded his Metatron Studio London, the beating heart of numerous international music projects that break down every barrier of musical genre. That meeting was not a coincidence, but the result of a deep affinity, as both artists have made creative freedom and sound experimentation their stylistic signature. Baldelli, with his cosmic and tribal vision of the dance floor, and Gaudi, with his ability to blend the psychedelia of dub music with the club-culture and world music, immediately recognised each other's eclectic and unconventional spirit. From there, a natural artistic connection was born, which strengthened over time through exchanges, ideas and collaborations.
The two began to meet regularly between London and Cattolica in Italy – Baldelli’s hometown – and, without forcing or commercial objectives, they began to build together a new, free sound language, guided only by curiosity and a passion for music as a form of pure expression. The project came to life concretely between two symbolic and complementary places: Gaudi’s Metatron Studio in London – a space immersed in analog synthesizers, vintage studio gear and a global production vision – and Baldelli’s studio in Cattolica, a treasure chest of a collection of over 65,000 vinyl records representing fifty years of personal and collective musical history. This double creative environment became the perfect terrain for experimenting, improvising and sculpting an original sound, which does not belong to a single genre but to a shared sound universe. The sessions developed naturally, without imposed directions or external pressures.
It all starts from a spontaneous groove, a rhythmic idea or an evocative sound, which is elaborated by four hands, in a continuous dialogue between the experience of the DJ and that of the producer/musician. In a short time, that first idea turns into a real EP composed of four original tracks, where elements of psychedelic-funk, tribal-dub, electronic-disco and the inevitable Afro Cosmic spirit that has always accompanied Baldelli coexist. What results is an intense, visionary and free work, the result of a deep understanding and a rare compositional symbiosis, where two artistic paths of absolute importance meet to generate something new. A project that did not follow predefined rules, but was guided only by passion, instinct and a common desire to explore new sound territories.
Here's their second single ‘Taishōgoto’ that follows 'Between Zenith and Nadir', this new track takes us even deeper into their visionary sonic universe, offering a tantalizing preview of an upcoming EP that defies all musical conventions.
A boundary-blurring journey through cosmic-disco, dub, afro-electronica, and pure sonic alchemy 'Taishōgoto is an immersive experience beyond genre,
