SINCLAR, BOB / SPEKTRUM - [V6] LA MUSIQUE FAIT LA FORCE SAMPLER

Bob Sinclar, born in 1969, real name Christophe Le Friant (French pronunciation : kʁistɔf lə fʁijɑ̃), is a French record producer, DJ, remixer and co-owner (with DJ Yellow) of the label Yellow Productions. Sinclar started DJing in 1986, when he was just 18 years old, specializing in funk and hip-hop music, with the name Chris The French Kiss. His first club hit was Gym & Tonic, a track produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, featuring unauthorized vocals taken from a Jane Fonda fitness tape. The Bob Sinclar persona was based on a character from Philippe de Broca's film Le Magnifique. Sinclar is famous for popularizing the "french touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "Feel For You", a tribute to french musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams. Sinclar has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of latin, jazz, african and tribal flavors. In 2005 he scored a hit with his single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40. The followup hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on August 22, 2006. The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category "Remixed Recording". Also, "World Hold on" was chosen by Billboard Magazine as the number one Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The fourth single of the album 'Western Dream' called 'Tennessee' was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released. That album was Soundz of Freedom. It came out in May 2007. His latest album is Born In 69, released 2 years after the last album, May 2009. The first single of the album was LaLa Song, together with Sugarhill Gang Taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Sinclar) Read more on Last.fm.

There are three bands named Spektrum. The first one is the London-based genre-busting four piece, Spektrum. With one smash debut album Enter The Spektrum released on Germany's acclaimed Playhouse imprint already tucked under their belt - which saw the birth of globally-renowned singles Breaker, Freakbox and Kinda New - Spektrum are back at last. 'Fun at The Gymkhana Club', for UKs Nonstop Recordings, features singles Horny Pony, 'May Day' and latest offering and blistering dance floor wobbler, 'Don't Be Shy. Fun At... exudes the playful elements of Spektrums multifaceted personality. As well as boasting a tongue-in-cheek title - horseplay and cheeky hi-jinks taking place within the confines of the Pony Club establishment - the Gymkhana Club is also a term that refers to world of colonialism. This new album from Spektrum oozes with alternative undercurrents - they have stormed the Club and messed up all the codes. And its up to you to decipher them. 'Fun At... provides an absorbing visual landscape. Opening up with the marching scenes of 'May Day' - all thigh-high leather boots and tight uniforms, we then slip into 'Horny Pony - all galloping fillies, whips and stirrups. Next up is 'Moody Feels Good', a wall-climbing blur of psychedelia. We then get dragged onto the light-up dance floor with Dont Be Shy, and pulled straight off into the darker back room antics of Cedar. Sugar Bowl brings us down a level, lost in clouds and bubbles everywhere. The Bones is a brisk walk into the realities of daylight which soon transforms into a confused stagger into the bloodshot sunset ahead of Cut Me Off. Fit Together take us up into the clouds once more, hovering over the planet in a moment of reflective glory only to be brought down sharply, soles of feet firmly hitting the ground, with Build An Army, which leads us by the hand into The Mirror Man - the albums final march across the Spektrum landscape. Phew. While most live bands of 2006 aim to recreate the post-punk sound of the 'late 70s/early 80s era, Spektrum are set on creating a new, innovative, sound - which 'Fun At...' is overflowing with. Influences from the funk, punk and electro are key, but Spektrum never try to mimic, but rather expand and develop. The styles range from electrofied punk (May Day), rock with an electro-funk edge (Mirror Man), through to the British live band' exploration of post-Timbaland R&B (Cut Me Off, The Bones), through to song-based dance music ('Moody Feels Good', 'Build An Army'). Spektrum are also one of the hottest live acts the UK has to offer. A contemporary fusion of ESG, Grace Jones and the Slits, they perform all over the world from Portugal, Paris, New York and Berlin, through to New Zealand, Australia and, er, Brighton. Spektrum are Lola Olafisoye, Gabriel Olegavich, Isaac Tucker and Teia Williams. __________ The second one is a new prog band consisting of members from GALLEON, CROSS and GRAND STAND as well as the female singer, the extraordinaire Lizette von Panajotte. The name SPEKTRUM not only refers to the optical term, but also to the different musical background of the band members. All the key elements are here: dynamics, intricate playing, great solos and foundation rattling bass pedals. And the result is excellent: melodic with female vocals of a quality rarely heard in the genre and refreshing progressive rock with strong compositions and a spotless production. __________ The third one is a Drum and Bass DJ, originally from NYC but now located in Kalamazoo, MI.
