General Elektriks - Parker Street - out on Discograph/Quannum Projects

Sunday 23 October 2011, 13:44

General Elektriks - Parker Street
(CD/Digital) Elektriks Collection/Discograph (Europe/Japan)/Quannum Projects (North America) 2011-10-18

General Elektriks is the brainchild of French vintage keyboard player/ composer/ singer/ producer Hervé Salters. Blending keyboard funk, oldschool pop and hip hop beats in his home studio in the San Francisco Bay Area, Salters has released 3 albums as General Elektriks: Cliquety Kliqk (2003), Good City For Dreamers (2009) and this new one, Parker Street(2011). RV quickly became the go-to Parisian for "vintage sound", scoring session work with Femi Kuti, -M-, and DJ Mehdi, among others, before leaving in 1999 to relocate to the US. In 2009 he was also featured in the classic hip hop compilation selected by Paris DJs alumni Djouls & Loik, It's The New Hip Hop Thing Volume 1. The new album Parker Street was released mid October by cuting-edge French label Discograph in Europe and Japan and by Quannum Projects in North America. Parker Street is the most successful and most dense of General Eletriks albums, filled with multiple influences and perfused by the energy and experience of live concerts.

Pigeon John - Dragon Slayer - out on Elektriks Collection

Pigeon John - Dragon Slayer
(CD/Digital) Quannum USA 2010-10-12, Other Tongues Australia 2010-11-19, Elektriks Collection/Discograph France 2011-03-07

Los Angeles-based indie rapper/singer/songwriter/rocker and funny man Pigeon John is back with Dragon Slayer, out in the US via Quannum Projects, and to be released in France through Discograph on march 7th 2011. Dragon Slayer follows up the critically acclaimed Pigeon John…And The Summertime Pool Party and houses the signature Pigeon John humor and witty rhymes, but with more rock and pop sounds. With the aid of keyboard wonder General Elektriks' Hervé Salters, Pigeon John produced the whole record, including, for the first time, recording and chopping up his own instrumentation rather than just flipping samples and banging on an MPC. We'll do a mix about the man in the coming weeks, in order to introduce those who still haven't heard him to the cool sounds of Pigeon John...

Lyrics Born - I Like It, I Love It (Grant Phabao Remix)

Thursday 13 August 2009, 14:19 1

When Berkeley hip hop meets Jamaican reggae... Pressure keeps on rising for the upcoming releases of Grant Phabao's three (!) new albums with The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston and The Jays (on his own label T.I.M.E.C. co-run with Djouls and Captain Detendu)... The french dubmeister offers here a bouncy reggae rework of I Like It, I Love It, taken from last year's hit album Everywhere At Once (released on Quannum/ANTI). It's kind of a cousin of the N.A.S.A. remix he did earlier this year (featuring David Byrne and Chuck D.!) - all party-style with its rolling drum breaks and hookish...

ApSci - Best Crisis Ever

Tuesday 11 August 2009, 04:27

ApSci - Best Crisis Ever
(CD) Quannum Projects, 2009-08-11

Best Crisis Ever, the new album from trans-continental ApSci (pronounced APP-sigh), was begun in a Brooklyn apartment overlooking a coffee factory in 2006, and finished in a Sydney apartment by the beach in 2008. While 2005's Thanks for Asking was a collabo-rich hip-hop-electro diary with guests spanning from indie-rap pinch hitters Mr. Lif and Pigeon John to the bandleaders of TV On The Radio and Antibalas, the new record has been executed almost entirely by the duo, Australian-Filipina Dana Diaz-Tutaan and the Irish-Italian, Bronx-born Raphael LaMotta. It's a louder, catchier and more expansive take on ApSci's unique combination of electro, hip-hop and quirky pop, relying heavier on songwriting and a combination of vintage drum machine sounds, synths and guitars. It's equal parts New York bravado and Australian charm, reflecting the respective hometowns of each, and how the duo, despite the nearly opposite lifestyle and pace of the cities, have managed to comfortably straddle both for nearly a decade.
