MIX CITY

Spacey and frenzied grooves, born in autumn 2000, MIX CITY has, from the start, aimed at creating a dynamic, generous, extrovert and original sound cape. The idea was to turn an attentive ear to all new forms of music (Drum’N’Bass, Jungle, Hip-Hop, Electro…) while retaining an acoustic feel and the musical abilities of Jazz, Soul and Prog-Rock.

Oceanic, free and wild, MIX CITY’s back with a second album: “A funny style”. This electro-band full of freshness plays with the urban sound’s diversity (Funk, Jungle, Hip Hop…) in a resolutely contemporary production.

A vintage rhythm section (Upright Bass, Drums, Hammond Organ and other electrified keyboards) serving an electro jazz & soul creation with the DJ’s scratches & samples building up a narrative… so high, so funky… In A Funny Style!!

Cheeky melodies, dancing & frenetic grooves combine, the result is underdressed, the music is punchy, outgoing and bighearted, mirror image of a cosmopolitan city where so many accents echo, hypnotic & voodoo… Hey, it’s pure Freak Jazz!

Groovissimo !! "The quartet has the ability to feature seventies-inclined organ moods along with unrelenting experimentation with rock and electronic approaches. The high-energy stage performances are colourful and guaranteed to get your feet moving."

"MIX-CITY's Hammond organ streaks through instrumentals like a red-hot claw. Audiences are plunged into a universe somewhere in between a Jimmy Smith-like tradition and the irreverent and cheerful playfulness of the Beastie Boys. Surrounded by the sound, you find your mind wandering through imaginary films. . Now firmly established, MIX-CITY might very well be the next thing to knock you off your feet."

MIX-CITY has now played numerous shows in clubs, larger venues and festivals.

Jean Patrick COSSET : Hammond organ, electrics keyboard, Clavinet and samples.
Alain BAUDRY : Drums.
Fred CHIFFOLEAU : Double-bass, electric bass.
