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
styleâ€. 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.
