🙌🏽 I love Kaidi, nice to see another fan in here!
I’m listening to his new masterpiece as we speak on my recently unboxed, Kali LP6 V2s ❤️

I also know Kaidi is an avid, SWAM user.

ah nice its too late an hour in my timezone for that, tomorrow tho on the VXT8s

I also know Kaidi is an avid, SWAM user.

oh wow i had no idea, that's interesting, maybe used in his more recent orchestral arranging feel he's been on, spreading his (not too many chords, but too many chords! like if you took every leroy burgess change ever and just put them all in one record and left out the repetitive groove bit!) changes across strings and wind?

I feel like one day, the same way we now call Giant Steps progression Coltrane changes, there's going to come a day where theorists refer to Kaidi changes

Yeah, his previous IG had video of him creating brass arrangements with SWAM. I also found an article of him talking about mostly using virtual instruments these days since they sound so great and are so expressive.

Got it, I see it, the DJ Mag one, thanks, that's a good read. dude is so humble, talking about other players being so much better than him, that's so interesting that we all feel that way, I wonder if George Duke or Chick Corea or Herbie said about each other, maaaan you're so much better than me, but anyway whatever it is he thinks he lacks he's got more than anyone else of his own Kaidiness, the energy that he plays with is so damn infectious.

Nice share. I was lucky to be in London when Kaidi and Dego and the whole broken beat gang were playing. Just magic. I didn’t know he had a new album out. Will check 👍

Humility is definitely the main ingredient to true greatness! Never resting on one’s laurels, always listening and learning - props to “emptying one’s cup.”

Yeah it really was. Something was in the air or the water or what knows. Coop sundays was life, from Velvet Rooms on to Plastic People, tiny little space with a dancefloor for a 100 people yet 4 stacks of Funktion One(!) and occasionally you'd see a Questlove or a Goldie popping their heads in to catch the vibe, Dego not giving a shit whether you liked it, and deciding fuck broken beat and play some QTip or some Jill Scott or some Underground Resistance, and all praise to Ade for the vision of creating the space to support it. Blacktronica at ICA, the acoustic stuff on Thursdays on Portobello Road, the Carnival sets a couple of times, certain one offs like taking over Victoria & Albert Museum... hell of an era

Edit; and at the same time, I like in the Kaidi interview how he hates being thought of only in relation to that time and sound, as if to say things aren't also amazing all over the place through all time, like all that is happening right now, so please excuse my retromania for the 2000s outburst!

Amazing memories!

Funny, I just got notified that Marc Mac has a new release, as well. He’s still dropping gems too.

They're all masters in their own way and they know/knew it, I think they'd rather make sure to refine their own style to be different enough 😊

I didn’t know about him either. What a find.
Thanks for this! He has quite a catalog. Recent stuff too.
