Itch FM – Dedicated to Hip Hop
This post is really written by Itch FM’s DJ Thad Boogie (Big Promo). It’s about the new album of the talented musician D.ablo album dropping today and giving you a peak at his new video..
But for now, I’ll Take all the credit and give you the lead-up..
..kind of…
A guitar shredding, drum scorching, piano plinking, bass wobbling silhouette of a singer, D.ablo is one of London’s loudest musical secrets. Cutting his teeth as a featured vocalist, producer and musician he has worked with some of the UK’s biggest talents. Now it’s D.ablo’s turn to take centre stage with the release of his new video ‘Find Your Way’ and his debut album ‘The Retrospective‘ out today.(Sept 16th)
Born and raised in East London on a diet of grunge, calypso and jazz, D.ablo first came to the public’s attention as a member of the legendary UK hip hop crew TerraFirma. Since then he has worked with a diverse group of artists including NERO, Friction, Michael Kiwanuka, Maceo Plex, Alix Perez, Paloma Faith, Foreign Beggars (recently performing with them on the single ‘Anywhere‘ at the iTunes Festival at London’s Roundhouse), Ayah Marar and Noisia.
D.ablo also makes up one half of the Sleeping Giants production unit and label with fellow TerraFirma graduate Skriblah DanGogh.
His underground party and record label Boglewaltz is known for its eclectic music policy and fun-loving crowd. Recent guest performers have included Damian Marley, Aloe Blacc, Questlove, Benji B and DJ Craze.
On ‘The Retrospective’, D.ablo showcases his talent alongside the producers he learned his craft with, moving between acoustic singer songwriter material, steel drum solos, emotional ballads and striking harmonies. With an upcoming release schedule of new material, fresh collaborations and live appearances, this album is really just the beginning of D.ablo’s adventures as a solo artist…
