On s'attend donc a un superbe show samedi au Cabaret Aléatoire . Le hip hop devient pop, le funk glisse vers le rock, la soul se fait électronique… Un son est né, unique : celui de General Elektriks. > GENERAL ELEKTRIKS + d'info : [...]
General Elektriks - Holding Down The Fort General Elektriks - Summer Is Here General Elektriks (aka: French national Hervé Salters) returns with the newish Parker Street full-length, following up on the fantastic Good City For Dreamers - an album which we, of course, were quite taken with upon its release. Same as before, think swanky bass chords, triumphant brass blasts, and booty-shakin' funk beats to accompany some sexy vocals and handclaps galore . [...]
Hervé Salters é o nome por trás da criação do General Elektriks , o projeto francês que mistura funk, hip hop, soul e pop em uma atmosfera oldschool. A idéia surgiu logo após se mudar para os Estados Unidos em 1999, quando começou a fazer colagens do funk com apenas um teclado, computador e um microfone. A partir daí os primeiros traços do General Elektriks foi se moldando conforme a adição de instrumentos. Vale ressaltar que Salters não é nenhum novato na música, apesar de seus três discos lançados e alguns projetos paralelos, o cara tocou [...]
Le sorcier des claviers est de retour. General Elektriks , notre frenchy exilé en Californie, sort aujourd'hui même Parker Street , adresse de sa nouvelle habitation. Un nom de rue dont les voisins pourraient être les Beatles d'un côté et David Bowie de l'autre. Plutôt flatteur n'est-ce pas ? Pourtant, 13 titres à l'image du précédent Good City For Dreamers , encore un poil plus mature mais sans grandes surprises non plus. La seule grosse nouveauté sera aux côtés de la tête pensante RV Salters, la présence d'un nouveau venu, [...]

The trio Fancy resurfaced with a new EP on the label CitizenRecords . Explicitly named All Night Long , the latter consists of two original songs and three remixes , and is characterized by the Electro-rock style of the group. A female voice pitched guitars FM and funky atmosphere and Rock both: No doubt, you are listening to "All Night Long", title track of the max. What one should not fear is that the trio performance is dull and boring: the choirs offer particular a kitsch style to the song that [...]

Il était une fois, il y a bien longtemps, dans un royaume enchantée : une petite ligne de basse bien ronde. Se promenant dans les bois, elle rencontra une grosse méchante boucle, mais la boucle qui n'était pas en appétit décida d'accompagner la basse dans sa promenade. Un peu plus loin, nos deux amis croisèrent le chemin d'un clarinette, il était enjoué et extrêmement funky ! S'enfonçant toujours plus loin dans la forêt nos 3 lirons aperçurent une jolie petite mélodie, elle fut ravie de se joindre à eux. Ensembles, ils vécurent de nombreuses aventures, certaines finirent bien et d'autres [...]

Well, if it isn't some approaching holiday, I usually base it on the first word the person I happen to be talking to at them time says and well this week we have sunglasses. If you have a special request for a future playlist topic go ahead, name anything. I never thought about it before today, but there are actually TONS of songs that involve sunglasses.. 1. [...]
Hervé Salters ? Sounds eerily more like 'haute couture', rather than 'haute musique'. Surprise, surprise... Welcome to the world of French -born, vintage keyboard aficionado who happens to write his own music and lyrics. Damn good at it too! So much so that I can put 'Haute Musique ' on repeat for days, now turned into years, and still call it a favorite. In 2005 , his band General Elektriks songs "Cliquety Kliqk" and "Terms and Conditions Apply" caught my attention with [...]

Using a computer and his oldschool keys, he started sowing together loops, Funky keyboards, light melodies and digital noises. General Elektriks - Take Back The Instant Also part of the band Honeycut, Salters released his sophomore album as General Elektriks last year to wide acclaim. [...]
Oddly fun track taken from his 2009 release entitled, " Good City for Dreamers ". A bit of soul, a bit of funk and of course as the name suggests, some solid electronics. General Elektricks - Little Lady BIO: General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters. A French national and keen vintage keyboard player, he initiated GE just before moving to San Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and a SM-57 mike, he started sewing together loops, Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital tweaking. GE became a musical [...]
In four weeks and four days I will be descending on Austin, TX for my very first SXSW and I am beyond excited (for several reasons, some of which cannot be disclosed on this here blog...yet ;) ). The line-up is absolutely crazy and it'll be a three day extravaganza for me to try and see as many bands as humanly possible while imbibing alcohol - heels may be banned. I'm desperately hoping that the bands I really want to see will wait until Thursday, Friday and Saturday to play instead of Wednesday night (the night I won't be there) [...]
general elektriks - "little lady" (download) When he's not playing in his band Honeycut , or laying down keys for Lyrics Born , Jel , Blackalicious and others, Berkeley, CA's Herve "RV" Salter s is doing his General Elektriks project for the Quannum label. Very similar to the Honeycut stuff, but with a bit more soul. Pick up his excellent Good for City Dreamers record, which came out last year. [...]
Back from my very first RV tradeshow (never thought I'd type those words ever...) and it kicked my ass. BEFORE SHOW: AFTER SHOW: Yeah. Not so much. I have consequently slept over 26 hours this weekend and listened to music (as well as introduce Jiggy to the wonder that is "Labyrinth." How someone can get to the age of 20 and never understand the magic that is David Bowie in tights and yell "LUDOOOOOOOOOOO!" is beyond me...) and tried [...]
