Daniele Gaudi, known professionally as Gaudi, was born on July 12, 1963. He began his musical career in 1981 in Italy, engaging with underground bands such as Wild Planet and Red Light as a keyboardist. He was a founding member of Raptus, one of Italy’s initial hip-hop acts, and co-founded the production team Tubi Forti, working with groups like Isola Posse All Stars and Sud Sound System. Under various aliases including Dub Alchemist and Etnotechno, he explored blending world music with electronic sounds. His debut album, “Basta Poco,” released in 1991, earned him the “Best New Coming Act 1991” award in Italy. Throughout this period, Gaudi diversified his sound, notably incorporating the theremin into his compositions, a move that would define much of his later experimental work.
In 1995, Gaudi relocated to London, which marked a significant turning point in his career. His work, including co-producing Cool Jack’s “Jus Come, Terra Terra Remix,” achieved commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Dance Chart. This period saw him work on remixes for artists like Mansun and Mazzy Star, and compose for major broadcasters such as the BBC and MTV. He gained international recognition for his solo album “Dub Qawwali” in collaboration with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, which received a nomination at the 2008 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music and reached No.2 on the iTunes U.S. chart. He has produced or contributed to several albums that have topped the Billboard Reggae Chart, including “Heavy Rain” by Lee “Scratch” Perry and “Mass Manipulation” by Steel Pulse.
Gaudi’s career has been characterized by consistent innovation and a wide array of collaborations across diverse genres. He has worked with a long list of notable artists, including The Orb, Steel Pulse, Groove Armada, Simple Minds, and Lee “Scratch” Perry. His studio work and live performances, where he utilizes instruments like the theremin and minimoog without a computer, highlight his commitment to sonic integrity and an unpredictable live experience. He has also been involved in music for film and television, and served as a vocal coach on “The X Factor Italy,” where he guided contestants to chart-topping success. Recent projects include “Havana Meets Kingston In Dub” (2023) with Mista Savona and “Prism” (2024) by The Orb, demonstrating his ongoing presence and versatility in the global music scene.
