Lodekka

Lodekka (whose name is derived from a type of double decker bus) is the London based project of multi-instrumental musician and graphic designer Stuart Dace. In a gloriously chequered career, Stuart was sax player on the classic Primal Scream album Screamadelica, was a member of Mo Wax band Deep Joy and has worked as Head Of Design at Chrysalis Records!

His sound can be described as quirky, stone-head dub performed on un-usual instrument combinations with fusions of jazz, reggae and funk. Instrumentation includes ukulele, melodica, theremin, double bass, trumpet, clarinet and saxophone with a generous helping of ambient electronica.
