It is a concept piece to be released as an international collaboration between his own label TSE, NAAFI from Mexico City and, SVBCVLT from Shanghai. The soundtrack was installed at the ICA in London as a part room-sized audio visual environment. At the time of increasing British isolation and political failure, Gaika, the perennial internationalist, has turned the focus of his analytical lyrical approach directly to the place of his birth. Gone are the dancehall inflections and infectious rhythms of his Caribbean heritage. Instead the focus is on London in 2022, a sprawling megacity city he poetically deconstructs with dense southside storytelling. The lyrics are set against futuristic urban production. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Spectacular Empire","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50390706291019,"sku":"1149343","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/afb204f1-3fed-4535-9219-66be81586190_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726393729"},{"product_id":"spaghetto","title":"Spaghetto","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incendiary and subversive new voice in music, Gaika joins the Warp roster and prepares for the release of his new \u003ci\u003eSpaghetto\u003c\/i\u003e EP.
