GAIKA on sampling

Jennifer Lucy Allan explores sonic lineages in jazz and the art of sampling with artist and composer GAIKA, ahead of his event at the London Jazz Festival.

Artist and composer GAIKA joins Jen ahead of his event at the EFG London Jazz Festival. For this year’s edition he’s collaborating with musicians Azekel and Miink at London’s Cafe Oto venue, sampling his dad’s vinyl collection to explore themes of turmoil and the revolutionary body. GAIKA is a Brixton-born musician, writer and activist who once stated his aim was to make ‘anti-commercial music’.
For Late Junction, he traces the sonic lineages of jazz in his own music, particularly focused on themes of preservation and legacy in sampling. He selects some special records from his dad’s record collection, sharing the personal stories behind them and the influence jazz has had on his own musical growth.

Elsewhere on the show: wistful ambient experiments from Croatian Amor; dark-electro percussion from Uganda’s Nihiloxica; and a powerful call for transformation, freedom and decolonisation from Melbourne experimental doom duo Divide and Dissolve.

Produced by Katie Callin.
A Reduced Listening production for 成人快手 Radio 3.
