Following on from the release of “Electric Blocks” and “When Will I Stop Dreaming”, Cadenza’s new effort\u00a0\u201cFoundation\u201d\u00a0speaks volumes of talent, as his trademark sonics hits us with full force. At just 25 years old, west Londoner\u00a0Oliver Rodigan\u00a0has established himself as an artist-to-watch in both the UK and across the pond.<\/p>\n

Cadenza co-produced “Black Scorpio”\u00a0and “Alchemy”\u00a0on\u00a0TALA\u2019s\u00a0breakthrough EP as well as the first single “Where I\u2019m From”\u00a0<\/i>on\u00a0Kiko Bun\u2019s\u00a0forthcoming LP, via\u00a0Island Records. Prior to that he cut two tracks on Grammy nominated artist\u00a0Ryan Leslie\u2019s Black Mozart<\/em> album, as well as releasing his forward thinking club tracks\u00a0on\u00a0Mad Decent,\u00a0Fool\u2019s Gold\u00a0and\u00a0MixPak. We delved that little bit deeper and found out a couple of things that you may not have know about him. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Oliver runs his own label : The Full Hundred, which is a part of SONY Records.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>Oliver spent much of 2014 touring with Major Lazer, alongside Diplo and the team.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Oliver hadn\u2019t tried eggs until he was about 18. They always looked like pieces of rubber to him.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Gussie Clarke (who produced No No No for Dawn Penn and runs Anchor Studio in Jamaica) gave Oliver his first sound card and a bunch of virtual instruments to use when he was first starting out. I still use that same Mbox2 today.<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>He has birthday drama:\u00a0“Sometimes I wish my birthday wasn\u2019t right in between Jesus\u2019s and New Years Eve. That sucks”<\/em><\/p>\n
