———————————————————-
Smokey Joe & The Kid :
C’est l’association d’un ponte de la mafia musicale bordelaise avec le parisien The Kid (aka Senbeï), gamin insolent passé maître dans l’art du turntablism.
Un concept basé sur l’esthetique gangsters des années 30, entrainé par des remixes et des compositions originales dans la veine Electro/HipHop/Swing.
Dire que leurs représentations sont énergiques et délurées serait un euphémisme.

Alors autant ne pas contrarier le duo car c’est Smokey Joe qui le dit « Le premier qui moufte j’lui colle un remix dans l’buffet ! ». Vous ne direz pas qu’on ne vous a pas prévenu…
Individuellement ou ensemble, Smokey Joe et The Kid ont déjà partagé l’affiche avec : Chinese Man, Caravan Palace, Dj Krush, Wax Tailor, Dub Pistols, Peuple de l’Herbe, Dj Vadim, Bonobo, Foreign Beggars, 16 Bit, The Correspondents.

Qu’est ce que l’Électro Swing ?
Alors que notre économie paraît replonger dans le même marasme que celui des années 30, pourquoi ne pas plutôt se souvenir de la folie de cette période et oublier notre quotidien.
Il est temps pour vous de découvrir le son unique de l’Électro swing qui à embrasé les foules à travers toute l’Europe depuis les deux dernières années.
Ce style musical s’est répandu à travers les compilations de Wagram en France et celle de White mink/Black cotton au Royaume-Uni.
Alors que l’Électro swing est à l’honneur dans plusieurs festivals et club européens, (Londres, Paris, Zurich,Turin, Berlin) ce n’est qu’une question de temps avant que la vague nu-swing déferle sur l’Amérique du Nord.
Une soirée Électro swing vous transporte dans une ambiance de bar clandestin de la prohibition avec costumes et accessoires sur un fond sonore mixant le swing, le hiphop, la house, le breakbeat et la drum and bass.

The Speakeasy ElectroSwing crew in Montreal has evolved from a Prohibition style loft party with an old claw foot bathtub full of booze in 2010, to its current home at Sala Rossa. We have hosted such Electro Swing luminaries as Dunkelbunt (both for a DJ set in 2010, and a year later with his Secret Swing Society live band), DJ Delay, Max Pashm, Al Lindrum, the Jazz Street Boys, along with your resident merry makers of Khalil, Don Mescal, and Eliazar. As Montreal is good at setting the pace for music in North America, we started the first regular nights bringing the Electro Swing sound to your ears on this side of the pond, and continue to bring these new sounds that have been blanketing the EU for the last few years. For our 12th event we are bringing you Smokey Joe and the Kid, our first foray into bringing you live acts from the new school of Swing Hop.

We are also playing at Igloofest this year the night before this event on the 20th of January in the big while dome… info below, if you want 2 nights of saucy electro swing to keep your feet a taipan.. Friday night in full snow gear, and Saturday night in your own swinging styles in the warmer climate of Sala Rossa

Smokey Joe & The Kid(France)
Electro/Hip-Hop/Swing
In this project, Smokey Joe, Bordeaux’s main musical mafia head, and The Kid
aka “Senbeï,” cheeky Parisian master of Turntablism, transport us back in time to the gangster run streets of 1930’s Chicago. With an original mix of Hip Hop, Electro and Swing, there’s no doubt that Smokey Joe & The Kid know how to make a dancefloor go wild!! If you see them hanging around in a club you’d better keep it low, because as Smokey Joe says: “The first one who protests, I shoot him with a remix on the chest!”. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you….
Live or in studio, Smokey Joe & The Kid collaborate with MC’s such as YOUTHSTAR (UK), ANIMAL NATION (CA), ART
MELODY (Burkina Faso)… Giving to their productions an international Hip-Hop dimension.
Individually, together or with other bands, Smokey Joe & The Kid have already shared the stage with Chinese Man,
Tricky, Caravan Palace, Dj Krush, Wax Tailor, Dub Pistols, Peuple de l’Herbe, Dj Vadim, Bonobo, Foreign Beggars…

Welcome to the retro-future. As our economy revisits the depression era, it is time for our culture to revel in the glory of those days. It is time to get snazzed up, and get down to the sounds of Electro Swing that have been taking over the UK and the rest of Europe in the last few years. We are bringing you the first monthly event to focus on these sounds of now on this continent where the music began. As we scour the crates of dusty old record stores and remake these songs into club tunes of today, updating the swing sounds with electro, hip hop, house, bass, and dub. The sounds have been spreading through the Electro Swing compilations on Wagram music out of France, and the White Mink/Black Cotton albums from the UK in the past few years. With Electro Swing coming to every major festival in the EU this summer, we know it will only take a moment for folks on this side of the sea to find out why we are all working up a sweat about the sound.
With packed monthlies in London, Berlin, Torino, Paris, Antwerp and beyond, we will be bringing you both the sounds of tradition, and the sound of the future.

There will be a contest for the best dressed lady and gent at the event , the prize being a pass to every Electro Swing event for the year.

An Interview with Dunkelbunt
Last September, one of my favorite producers, Dunkelbunt was in town with his band, The Secret Swing Society.
Montreal was the first step in his north America Tour. I was so excited to see him play live with his band, and DJ at The Speakeasy Electro Swing at Sala Rossa in Montreal, 29 September 2011.
I had the chance to meet the man himself in Parc Lafontaine and got to spend a while with him chatting at the lakeside.

Can you talk to us about your musical background ?
You know we are sitting here in the park in front of this beautiful lake.
So just the sound of a nature is a source of inspiration for me, not only the music.
This is all music for me. I started to play piano when I was 6.
My sister played piano too. My mother sang a lot. I was raised in a musical atmosphere.

When did you decide to make music ?
At first when I was young, I liked to play something, try some improvisation and play with the sound. Later, when I was fifteen, I started to make music with my computer.
I was introduced to the music of ” The Prodigy “, the first album with all this drum and bass, and hip-hop stuff. I started to analyse a lot of music. I was really curious about how they produced it, and it sounded so far away . It was so intense.
I like to fuse the electronic sound with the organic sound.

You are a really versatile producer : Balkan , electro swing, dancehall, dub …
What do you prefer the most ?
I don’t think I prefer anything the most. What is touching me a lot is oriental music today.
Just the last days or weeks I have been listening to a lot of Turkish music and Arabic music. I always feel it touches me. I feel I need to go to Istanbul.

What do you think about the new scene of electro swing ?

One of your song hit is Cinnamon girl is a big hit in The Electro Swing scene.
For my point of view it is nice to see how it developed. I put my attention to this music a long time ago. I could see maybe about 10 years ago people started to dj swing, but not only swing. When we played Balkan stuff we also played swing and manouche swing.
I think the growth of the Balkan music helped to build the swing revival.
People who make electronic music starts to sample everything : swing, Balkan…
What do you think about your first live tour in North America ?
It is really new for me and really exciting . I really enjoy the company of the band members and the feeling of the vibe on the tour. Bringing this music to the people is fun.

What is your next project ?

My next project is to make a cd for children with kids songs, but in a Dunkelbunt style with a lot of electronic and dubby stuff. This has been on my mind for a couple of months.
I don’t think too much about my next album, I just give one minute everyday to think about it. I like to grow very slowly and very deeply. For the next album, I want to do something completely different from what I have already produced.
I don’t want to repeat myself. When I m in the studio I always want to have be challenged.
I have to learn something new. Singing a new way, playing a new instrument.
Can you explain to us your process of creating a song ?
Sometimes it is the duck. (laugh) like he is doing right now. I feel it is when I want to produce, using the sounds of the duck, and adding some effects to it can work.
When I have a melody in my mind I can start from there, or I take samples from somewhere and I built an another picture around it. So every time it is different.
Sometimes it begins from the beat, sometimes it starts from a melody.
Sometimes, I think about the fusion of the two, as I like to put a lot of different things together.
I have a big relationship with sounds that have a picture, a color, a texture.
For me every song and very key has a different color.

Did you listen a lot of music. Or dig a lot of music ?

From 2001 I remember I downloaded my first mp3.
I like to cook. I always joking about it. I would love to upload some samples of food to the people. I am a kid of the wild generation.
I have access to music from all over the world with mp3s.
I’m searching for music from many different countries : Turkey, Arabia, Serbia
I have built up a large knowledge of music. I think this is really important for music to travel.
Ok there is a part of it that is not legal, and the artist is losing a lot of money.
You don’t have to spent money on producing music, you can just send it to your mailing list and hit the button and you know in 5 minutes 1000 people have this song.
Everywhere in the planet from Australia to Canada. I also support the music when I am djing and I play wav. I don’t like to play mp3 because you the quality of the sound is not good.
I want to support the people so I only use the wav.

Attention, l’album SOUL de l’année est dans les Bacs.
On peut remercier Pierre Chrétien, leader du Souljazz Orchestra, pour nous offert cette pépite soul-funk.
Son association avec le chanteur Gary Slim Moore fonctionne à merveille sur ce disque.
La formation d’Ottawa en profite pour créer le label Marlow Records, la version canadienne de Daptone Records.
Pierre chrétien A.K.A. Thibeaux Toussaint, comme tous les autres membres du groupe a pris un pseudo pour ce nouveau projet.
Ils sont accompagnés sur disque par le One Faith Gospel pour les chœurs.
L’album à été enregistré au Metropolitan Studios sur une console huit pistes afin de donner une vraie couleur black à cette galette fantastique.
A noter la très belle reprise du légendaire Because I’m black de Syl Johnson.
