"To me, music is so important. We get married to music, we bury our loved ones to music. It soundtracks our most public and most deeply intimate moments." —  Gaika

Newly signed to Big Dada Recordings, multidisciplinary artist, hip hop polymath, and experimental rapper Gaika is moving at maximal decibels, taking listeners on a psychedelic, pulse-racing, and groove-soaked trip with his second full-length album Drift, his most stylistically accurate and personal music to date. "My thing has always been if you try your best, then it doesn't really matter what happens. I've busted my ass off and I'm intensely proud of Drift. It's the best album I've made and the truest and most honest album I've made.”

Gaika also set up a number of situational arts facilities in the heart of London, including shows at ICA, 180 the Strand, Somerset House, British Art Show, and Now Gallery and as the world reopened, created pop-up galleries, studios, exhibitions and raves which echo the ethos of NINE NIGHTS and his own.
