Paolo Baldini Bio

Paolo Baldini is one of the most important producers of the Italian music scene, his collaborations ranging from pure reggae (Mellow Mood) to electronic dub (Dub Sync) and rock’n’roll with world music nuances (Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti).

His project DubFiles officially debuted at the beginning of 2013 and originally consisted in a series of online videos, documenting what happens inside Baldini’s Alambic Conspiracy Studio, when he is at the mixing desk, dubbing the productions of his own team, and singers deliver alternative versions of the same riddims.

Hundreds of thousands views later, it was time to turn the videos into a proper album, featuring Italian acts like Mellow Mood, Andrew I, Forelock and Spanish rising star Sr. Wilson. They all take part in the ‘All-Stars’ team touring with Baldini when DubFiles is performed live, while special guests on the album are Portuguese superstar Richie Campbell, Australian artist Dub Fx and British rapper Rawz.

In February 2015, Italian reggae producer Paolo Baldini packed his mobile studio in a red suitcase and flew over to Kingston, Jamaica. Together with a handful of Italian artists (reggae acts Mellow Mood and Forelock, graphic novelist Davide Toffolo) and anthropologist Icir Mimina Di Muro as videomaker, he set his recording equipment at Song Embassy Yard, located in Papine, Kingston 6, and during a one- week-long audio/video recording session he was joined by more than thirty singers who would deliver their vocals on Baldini’s riddims.

The technique of these recordings features one-take-only performances of the singers, while Baldini is simultaneously dubbing the riddims on an 8 track ADAT digital tape recorder. Baldini’s project DubFiles already features dozens of videos on YouTube based on the same formula and scoring hundreds of thousands of views.

The whole session at Song Embassy was recorded and, together with interviews to the singers, will form a documentary bearing witness to Jamaica’s impressive amount of singing/deejaying talents, many of whom are unknown to the public but deliver incredibly beautiful music.
