Drawing from hip-hop, dancehall and soul, newly signed Warp Records artist Gaikaunleashes his powerful call to action at Rewire 2017.

Brixton-born vocalist and producer, Gaika Tavares is one of the most visionary voices confronting today’s racial politics and a visceral product of contemporary London. Drawing his influences from hip-hop, dancehall, and soul, Gaika has risen through the ranks – from self released to Warp Records – in little over a year. His dystopian futuristic sound was first introduced on his ‘Machine’ mixtape last year, succinctly followed by ‘Security’. Each converted a hyper-real and chaotic moment of London into dark, melodic collages that lurch into combat against heavy vocals. Toning it down ever so slightly on Warp Records debut – described as his ‘reggae lovers rock record’ – Gaika’s live performances remain a physical reflection of his powerful and assertive messages, a call for action for a society that’s been tearing itself apart and needs to find unity.
