Spaghetti Eastern Electro Dub
Spaghetti Eastern Electro Dub is a genre-leaping project founded by Hudson Valley-based guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Like his solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, it blends various styles to craft a unique fusion of Jamaican dub, Indian raga, electronica, psychedelia, and jazz.
Cataldi’s creative partners in this project are bassist/composer Tom “Spontaneous” Semioli, drummer Dirk Drazen, and Dawoud “The Sufi Renegade” Kringle, wielding a hybrid instrument called the Dautar. The band’s debut release, Live at Green Kill Sessions, was released in March 2025 on Bad Egg Records. The album is available via CD, Bandcamp, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.
Reviews of the new album include: “Melodic, groovy, passionately experimental tunes, an album that will have you completely entranced.” NYSMusic.com …“Spaghetti Eastern Electro Dub is a sonic soup for the soul.” Radio Free Brooklyn …”Another knockout from Spaghetti Eastern.” WFMU …“Hypnotic and chill, a very original work.” Art Vibes …“A great work, very cool psychedelic rock.” Astropilot Music… “Melodically wonderful, with a nice psychedelic atmosphere.” Cosmicleaf …“A super sweet ambient and experimental work.” Ingrown Radio .. “Music with a smoked-out, hypnotic vibe.” Shivelight … “A great sound.” Jah Wobble, Public Image Ltd. “A jam that blends elements of dub, Indian raga, and psychedelic improvisation into a textured and evolving instrumental piece.” Electronica UK “The psychedelic shape-shifting bass twists and supreme lead guitar turns of ‘Kilimanjaro’ opens my mind and has me seeing a trippy cat burglar indie film that has yet to be made.” American Pancake …“The hypnotic bass grooves and jazzy, atmospheric guitar work create an impressive instrumental soundscape.” Sound of Sam … “With grooves that switch mid-song between swing and straight rhythms, this is a fantastic album to sink your teeth into — whether you’re zoning out on heady instrumentals or looking for inspiration as a fellow musician.” Daily Gazette/Nippertown.com A soulful, psychedelic fusion of rock and dub that turns a live performance into a transcendent sonic journey. Chronogram Magazine
Cataldi debuted his solo Spaghetti Eastern Music with the critically acclaimed 2016 album, “Sketches of Spam,” followed by several EPs and singles. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own,” while Time Out New York praises his “delicate guitar work and the hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Spaghetti Eastern has been called “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag and “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU. Hudson Valley One dubbed the project “part Sergio Leone fever dream, part Ravi Shankar raga, a whirling dervish of musical creation.” Chronogram Magazine called his recent release, the exploratory solo guitar score for the dance piece 2x2x4, “cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light.” Cataldi is also a member of the ambient guitar duo Guitars A Go Go, the poetry/music project Vapor Vespers, and the psych/surf quartet Spaceheater. He also writes about music for The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, and other outlets.
“Spontaneous” is the nombre de musica of Tom Semioli, a New Yorker who not only expertly plays the bass, but writes, blogs and podcasts about what he calls the “king of instruments.” Tom learned his craft in the music program at the University of Miami, from a coterie of instructors and alumni, including Jaco Pastorius. A veteran of many bands in New York and the Sunshine State, Tom is the riff meister of Electro Dub, composing the many riffs and harmonies that his associates build upon. He is also the man behind the long-running Know Your Bass Player blog and Notes from An Artist podcast who writings on music have been featured in Bass Player Magazine, No Depression, Huffington Post and many other media
Dawoud “The Renegade Sufi” Kringle is a musical composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist. His unique ideas about music inspired/forced him to work with Limulus Musical Instruments to develop the Dautar, something he calls “the love child of guitar, sitar, and cello.” He has been described as sounding like “Hans Zimmer and Jimi Hendrix fighting over a beautiful princess from another galaxy,” which qualifies him to hang in the company of his fellow Spaghetti Easterners. Dawoud has performed in the U.S. and Europe, produced over 13 solo albums, and composed for film, theater, and dance performances. He is also a member in good standing with Musicians For Musicians and the New York Composer’s Circle, a published author, writer (including a contributor to doobeedoobeedoo.info), producer, radio engineer, visual artist, mad mystic, and whatever else he can get away with.
Dirk Drazen is a veteran New York City-based musician who, in his own words, “works the ‘stix’ for this improvisational outfit.” He issues a supple and dynamic rhythmic matrix of beats that draw upon jazz, funk, and progressive rock to lay a foundation for “deze cats to strew their mess upon.” He is happy to be the gent at the back of the stage, stone-faced behind his ever-present shades – keeping time and navigating the peaks and valleys of the quartet’s improvisational excursions. When the band plays in Manhattan, Dirk sometimes commutes to gigs on a skateboard. He says he prefers this work above all others.
