As the seasons continue to shift and the UK once again begins to warm to the notion of summer, Gardna makes a timely return with a brand-new solo album that taps into our collective eagerness for the good times to roll this year. Following on from the success of his 2019 release. Good Time Not a Long Time, the Bristol MC looks set to take things even further as he delivers his most accomplished work to date.

A lot has happened to the world between these two albums, but one thing that remains is Gardna’s unprecedented love for the culture and the energy he exudes in his music. Whilst Time & Space makes a return to the same territories as the debut album, it also draws us into different soundscapes, as Gardna continues to sharpen and flex his genre-defying style.  

Time & Space was recorded and produced during a creative outburst which saw Gardna, and regular collaborators Brad Baloo (The Nextmen) and Kreed, hidden away in Devon at the Analogue Studio for three days. This concentrated studio session allowed them to produce an album that fails to miss a step in term of cohesion and originality. 

On the production side, the beats draw on the same wealth of sound system influences that have inspired Gardna’s career since the early days; but from the off we find ourselves at the forefront of positivity, thanks to the pulsating rhythm of Summer of Love. That feeling persists throughout, with tracks like the garage tinted, New Beginnings, featuring the inimitable, Eva Lazarus, and the rumbling yet melodic sound of Shining, featuring the captivating tones of Catching Cairo.

Elsewhere we get to experience the full weight of Gardna’s flows, as tracks like R.A.V.E A.S.A.P featuring Manchester legend, DRS, and the solo number, Every Time That I Land, serve as a stark reminder of his dexterity with the pen. DRS isn’t the only legend to emerge on the album, with Fox, Dynamite MC, Omar and Don Letts all bringing their own contributions to the proceedings giving the piece of work a significant edge.  

Other notable features include Doktor, as well as return appearances from Catching Cairo, who laces three tracks in total.
