_Godriguez & Friends in the Front Bar

Godriguez released his debut LP in 2018 entitled “Vol.1 ’14- 18”. A 35 minute selection collected from 7 beat-tapes of over 6 hours worth of beats; Created over 4 years. Compiled from musical obsessions spanning across Cuban religious music, neo classical, West African, jazz, Polynesian, flamenco and classical Egyptian music, there is little untouched.

Godriguez first stepped onto the international scene as the producer and creative force behind Sampa The Great's breakthrough release "The Great Mixtape", acting as musical director at festivals such as Splendour In The Grass and Laneway and played supports for Kendrick Lamar, Fat Freddy's Drop among others as well as solo sets including supporting Hiatus Kaiyote at Somerset House in London.

In 2017 Godriguez formed his 5 piece collaborative project called GODTET. Theirdebut LP GODTET I (2017) was lauded as “album of the year” by House Shoes (Street Corner Music). The second LP GODTET II (2018) and the Suite EP (2020), further blurred the lines between modern production using samples and a reactive band. 2020 saw them release the GODTET III LP closely followed by the MEDITATIONS LP (2021) an extension of their performance at the Sydney Opera House in 2020; a tribute commemorating the 50th anniversary of John Coltrane’s Giant Steps. Described as “Love Supreme vs shoegaze vs. heavy percussion” and “partial to a bit of an experiment” (Gerry Hectic), Godtet performed with a string quartet at Vivid 2022 to rave reviews: “far and away the most special show I saw across the entire festival, it was breathtakingly beautiful” (Joe Muller Vivid music curator). The deep artistry of their live performance has been immortalised in a live concert album released in 2023, their 6th release in as many years, culminating in a performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House in 2024._
