Following six studio albums of funk-driven loungecore, Hospital RecordsÕ head honcho London Elektricity embarks on the boldest musical adventure of his 30-year career with his seventh long-player ÔBuilding Better WorldsÕ.
It began in a Forest Hill cafe in 2017 where London Elektricity adoringly browsed through a series of Benjamin BeechÕs photography of perfectly untouched, derelict buildings and towns in Japan, Taiwan and China. ÒMany of the images show what has been, what could have been and what will be. The duality of beauty and melancholia within appealed to me immensely.Ó Each track was married to a photo, to join the sights to sounds from each of his tales of ÔBuilding Better Worlds.Õ
Leading the voyage is the orchestral masterpiece ÔFinal View From The RooftopsÕ, thatÕs been 13 years in the making and is the Òmost unusual piece of D+BÓ [heÕs] ever madeÓ, featuring the incredible operatic talent of Cydnei B. ÔBuild A Better WorldÕ is a smooth drum & bass sonnet with the vocals of Hospital family favourite Emer Dineen. ÒThe beauty of this song lies in its simplicity, but also its duality. I'll leave you to work out what the lyrics are really about... They are some of the darkest lyrics I've come across in years.Ó
Another special moment is the feature of London ElektricityÕs youngest son, The Secretary-General. The talented nine-year-old takes no ÔTime To ThinkÕ as he flawlessly flows through InjaÕs lyrics with the ever-vibrant MC following suit, bringing the track full-circle across generations.
London Elektricity is the mastermind behind classic Hospital albums such as ÔPull The PlugÕ, ÔSyncopated CityÕ, ÔAre We There Yet?Õ, and ÔYikesÕ. His latest body of work delves into uncharted depths for a very personal and expressive collection of tracks where drum & bass and live instrumentation meet. London Elektricity can be found showcasing this latest chapter with tours in China, Japan, the UK and Europe throughout 2019.
