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 debut album 'The Retrospective'.

Born and raised in East London on a diet of grunge, calypso and jazz, D.ablo is a product of his environment and an exception to the musical rules, combining mainstream charisma with underground originality. Influenced by everyday life and his open-minded musical taste, he writes anthems that have both immediate appeal and slow-burning hidden qualities.

D.ablo first came to the public's attention as a member of the legendary UK hip hop crew TerraFirma, making a name for himself thanks to his unique vocal style and multi-instrumental abilities. Since then he has worked with a diverse group of artists including NERO, Maceo Plex, Alix Perez, Paloma Faith, Foreign Beggars (recently performing with them on the single 'Anywhere' at the iTunes Festival at London's Roundhouse), 16Bit, Ayah Marar and Noisia.
 
D.ablo also makes up one half of the Sleeping Giants production unit 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 MistaJam.

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 the confidence of an artist sure of his roots but always looking to expand his musical horizons.
 
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...

The initial thought that came to mind in the process of making “Blackcurrent Jazz 2” was to create a landscape of ideas that capture the truest essence of Jazz but that also embodied the purest and most authentic hip-hop feel. The original Blackcurrent Jazz album (released in 2001) was a great piece of work but for me was more a mesh of beats and breaks and sometimes with tracks that didn’t even lend to Jazz at all. This time around I wanted every single song to scream JAZZ!!! But still using a combination of Jazz breaks that give off varying vibes.

I wanted this album to be more polished, more distinguished and more discernable than 10 years ago. Smoother, more intricate and ultimately more of a thought through process to it. So I set about the production process which I knew would be huge, because I wanted to use additional beats for 20 second interludes to be used in between each main track, which then ultimately doubled my production load. I also knew that the main selections all had to musically jump out at me and I wasn’t going to start writing until I had found all the right beats that made me feel as if I have the right ingredients for a classic album.

And then it started. Hours of sampling, cutting, chopping, filtering, and pitch shifting, mixing and then mixing again. Then came the writing, recording and editing, which for me is a very lengthy and meticulous process. And finally after over 6 months work came “Blackcurrent Jazz 2: The Gold Reflection” subtitled to pay dues and respect to the golden era of hip-hop (the 90’s).
