Avec une telle pochette sur fond orange, sa chemise seventies et son nom Uptown Funk Empire, on croirait une réédition d'un obscure chanteur funk américain des années 70. Finalement c'est un français basé à Lyon, le prolifique Bruno aka Patchworks. Sa musique transpire le groove comme peu savent le faire en France et quand il tend vers la house comme "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", alors là c'est un pur bonheur. En attendans son album à venir "The Empire Strikes Back".
With such a artwork with orange on bottom, his seventies shirt and his name, Uptown Funk Empire, we would believe a reedition of unknown American funk singer of the 70's. Finally it is a French producer based in Lyon, the prolific Bruno aka Patchworks. His music smells so groovy as few know how to make it in France and when he aims towards house music as on "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", it is a pure pleasure. Just wait now for his album soon out, "The Empire Strikes Back".

Tracklist :
01 - Dusk & Blackdown - Kuri Pataka





It is the D-day for Obama who takes his functions of President. Between justifiable and utopian hopes, deep changes and disillusionment likely to come, Obama has an incredible aura which inspires music producers and DJs of all styles (including me). The last example of the celebration of his election comes from Daft Punk and Adam Freeland. Great track even if I admit I become fed o f of this excessive partisan spirit. No matter!






Je reconnais que je suis drogué au cosmic disco mais on ne se refait pas. Un nouveau morceau pour décoller dans l'espace, "Garoto" de Cusmos avec le fredonnement délicieux et sensuel de Joyce Muniz et surtout remixé par la paire autrichienne Dorfmeister et Moestl. Deep vibes comme on dit anglais !
I admit cosmic disco is a drug for me but what can I do ? Here is a new track to start a trip to space , "Garoto" of Cusmos with the delicious and sensual humming of Joyce Muniz, and remixed par the Austrian guys Dorfmeister and Moestl. Deep vibes just for you!


I can't limit to present you "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" as a pearl of old school soul music which sounds like a classic. Because behind Mayer Hawthorne and The County hides Haircut of NowOn (from US label Stones Throw) who succeeds in persuading us that this song is a reedition of a old track while it is about a real nowadays creation. The illusion works perfectly and you will notice that at the moment the artwork is well developped in many labels which present more and more beautiful pieces (form, pics...) as here with this heart format.











After putting the remix of The Bewitched Hands On The Top Of Our Heads in my compilation "Musically Yours (Modern Pop)", here is the official video of the original version of "Tonight", first EP of the French Producer Yuksek whose new album soon available is gonna be enormous!
