Once dubbed \"the UK's Herbie Hancock\" by Benji B, he's a virtuoso on the keys and a true innovator in sound production as one of the original creators of the Broken Beat sound. Over the years his musical prowess has blessed numerous projects, recently with the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Andrew Ashong and with longtime accomplice, Dego. This in addition to session and remix work for artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Slum Village, Marcos Valle, Amy Winehouse, Soul II Soul, Nubya Garcia, Rosie Frater-Taylor and Leroy Burgess, along with First Word label mates Eric Lau, Children of Zeus, Allysha Joy and Darkhouse Family. Kaidi is also a revered DJ known for rocking parties globally, whilst his solo catalogue spans tons of EPs and releases for labels such as Dego's 2000 Black, Alex Nut's Eglo Records and Theo Parrish's Sound Signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new album \u003ci\u003eDon't Rush The Process\u003c\/i\u003e opens with an intro of sweet strings on \u003ci\u003eMystery Solved\u003c\/i\u003e, ahead of lead title track, which is on a mid-tempo boom bap vibe, before switching to a more uptempo boogie vein, with the assistance of The Easy Access Orchestra, who also appear on \u003ci\u003eWe Chillin' Out\u003c\/i\u003e, which is on a similar boogie tip. \u003ci\u003eAll I Need\u003c\/i\u003e is some gospel flavoured hip hop, whilst \u003ci\u003eKnocknee Donkey\u003c\/i\u003e steps things up in a jazz-funk fashion. The second half of the album takes on a very Brazilian flavoured stance, with a set of delicious latin flavoured grooves on \u003ci\u003eAny Flavour, Runnin' Tru, What A Dream\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSooretama\u003c\/i\u003e, the latter featuring the additional prowess of pianist Robert Mitchell. There's a touch more of the hip hop beats thrown in via 'Funky Fool' and the album closes out in inimitable Kaidi style with a short message: 'Mind Yourself'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hugely prolific artist, here he adds to an already impressive catalogue, a body of work that falls within the cracks of jazz and dance music, exemplifying modern British black brilliance; uncompromising, innovative, groundbreaking, intricately sophisticated and deeply funky. His fanbase expands on every release and it's no surprise that that fanbase includes a diverse set of peers such as Madlib (\"ahead of his time\"), Gilles Peterson (\"a key part of an entire movement\"), K15 (\"a limitless source of inspiration\") and Kyle Hall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Word","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP.","offer_id":50402308489547,"sku":"1162715","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2cb533a7-014c-4ef3-b5ae-5fb7783dd512_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726540235","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/don-t-rush-the-process","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
