The Samadhi Quintet is led by drummer and composer Sam Gardner, whose skittering rhythms dance in and around the melodies and patterns produced by the group as he and his cohorts apply their considerable talents to probe the structured numerical systems of rhythm found in Indian classical music and the pinpoint precision grooves and rich harmonic progressions of hip-hop. With influences spanning modern artists including Kendrick Scott Oracle, Terence Blanchard, J Dilla, Ohbliv, Dil Withers and Pop Tart Pete among many others, Samadhi Quartet offer a world of rich rewards to the open-minded listener.

The band combines the rhythms of Indian and Latin American music with the beats of hip hop and the language of jazz to create a truly unique sound. Their debut album, 'The Dance of Venus' album was released by the critically acclaimed F-IRE Label (home to previous Mercury Awards nominees Basquiat Strings and Roller Trio) on 16 March 2015. As part of their UK tour, Samadhi Quintet will be performing ‘The Dance of Venus’, at Mau Mau Bar on Thursday, the 19th of March, 2015 to celebrate the launch of their new album.
