Diesler OPA
Diesler invité du Soulist Sound System
Samedi 13 mars à l'OPA - 23h30

Jonathan Radford aka Diesler est le genre d'artistes que tout label digne de ce nom rêve d'avoir dans ses rangs. Beatmaker et producteur précoce, il frappa un grand coup dés ses débuts avec le titre Cotton Wool qui tourna en boucle immédiatement sur Radio 1, installant d'emblée ses sonorités nu jazz et funk dansantes typiquement anglaises. Avec 4 LPs et autant de remixes qu'on peut avoir de brosses à dents dans une vie, il s'est battit une belle réputation qui l'a conduit à collaborer avec des artistes comme Laura Vane, Kinny ou Grant Phabao, et des labels prestigieux comme Tru Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Raw Fusion, Records Kicks, Unity, Freestyle et maintenant Unique.
Sa venue au Soulist Sound System est un événement. A ne pas rater!

With early highlights such as The Haggis Horns' Hot Damn! and kidkanevil's Kranium Rock (along with Diesler's bouncy re-rub), sitting alongside more recent efforts including 6ix Toys' huge cover of The Prodigy's Voodoo People and a couple of tracks from Homecut's highly-praised No Freedom Without Sacrifice album.

Laura Vane & The Vipertones
(CD/LP) Socialbeats/Unique Records UNIQ160-2/UNIQ160-1, 2009-08-24

Really one of the best deep funk albums I've heard recently! And I love Laura Vane's voice... Listen to the Laura Vane mix I've cooked to check by yourself. PS She's not the same Laura as the one we're molesting monthly ;-) (Djouls)

Drawn together from both sides of the North Sea, Laura Vane & The Vipertones consists of musicians from various Dutch & UK projects pooling their respective skills for this funk & soul group. From Holland, and more precisely Dordrecht in the south east of the country, Phil Martin & Ton Van Der Kolk - also known as producers duo AIFF - provide their instrumental talents developing the grooves and beats fired over the internet from the northern UK town of Burnley by Jonathan 'Diesler' Radford. Finally, and having cut it amongst the big boys working with The Streets, Gnarls Barkley & MJ Cole amongst others, Laura Vane, hailing from Brighton on the south coast of the UK, provides the sweet vocals and imaginative lyrics to the project.
