Unlike Paolo Baldini Dubfiles' previous albums, which heavily relied on post-production techniques, this new album sees Baldini embrace the Jamaican Dub school tradition. The music starts with original compositions, building the tracks from the ground up like writing on a ‘blank sheet of paper’. This shift puts the focus on in-studio creation of core instrumentals before Baldini brings in a global crew of collaborators. The list is impressive, featuring artists Kabaka Pyramid, Anthony B, & Queen Omega, alongside many others.
One of the distinctive features of In the Shell is its use of diverse ethnic sounds & samples. Baldini meticulously collected these during his travels across Africa. The samples served as the basis for his signature electronic production & post-production techniques. In the Shell is a vibrant blend of influences. Baldini seamlessly merges a deep exploration of roots music with electronic flourishes. The global collaborations further enhance this hybrid sound, creating a unique sonic experience.
Recorded, mixed, & produced by Paolo Baldini DubFiles at Alambic Conspiracy Studio in Pordenone, Italy. Mastered by Nick Manasseh at Yard Studio, London, UK.
