La Sape Records is proud to present a new vinyl edition of GODTET III — the third and final LP in the formative GODTET trilogy, led by guitarist and producer Godriguez.

Originally released in 2020, GODTET III marked the culmination of an intensive three-year period of playing, recording, and evolving. Recorded entirely through open improvisation, without samples, compositions or predefined cues, the album captures a band deeply attuned — performing without a net, yet with total trust. The result is a bold and meditative document of a group crystallising its identity in real time.

If GODTET I was an explosive coming-together and II was a fusion of samples and live band, then III is the return to origin: stripped back to pure instinct, refined through experience. It's the clearest expression yet of what the GODTET sound had become — at least, in that moment.

The group features some of the most distinct players from the new generation of Australian music, drawing from diverse lineages: a head priest of the Cuban Ifá tradition, the stepson of one of Australia's greatest funk musicians, a drummer regarded among the country's most important contemporary players, and a deeply expressive pianist from New Zealand. Together, under Godriguez's direction, they form something greater than the sum of their parts.

With GODTET, the studio becomes an extension of the stage: live, immediate, and unconcerned with genre. From ambient soundscapes and devotional jazz to swirling psychedelia and beat-driven exploration, GODTET III closes the chapter on the project's foundational era — while hinting at where it might go next.
