Music / NewsGAIKA shares new video and announces world party tourDazed’s political editor-at-large is going global and taking The Spectacular Empire into the physical realmShareLink copied ✔️October 2, 2017MusicNewsTextDazed Digital GAIKA, the avant-garde musician and Dazed’s political editor-at-large, has today announced a world tour and shared a new video for a track called “Battalion”. We recently published his vision of the future, The Spectacular Empire – a world in which authority has been removed and cities destroyed, a world where chaos reigns. These ideas will now move into the physical realm in the shape of a global tour, taking collaborators and like-minded musicians with him such as Kojey Radical, Flohio and God Colony to present an explosive vision of the future. See the full lineup below. Alongside the announcement comes a live video for “Battalion”, a song performed for Call Your Number earlier this year, a brooding, powerful, dancehall number. Watch it now, the full version featuring Miss Red is to be released soon. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
