About Me

"We have been lucky enough to listen to the new album and have been completely blown away by it's beauty. Without giving to much away we will say that "Flower Power" is going to be one of our favourite albums of 2008 and beyond."
Dan Crossley on Fluid Radio

Kick Bong is the ambient project of Franck Jousselin. He met music at the age of 12, with drums. 90 first band with Romy et les gâteaux secs, drums (french pop) album produced by Barclay + lives. In 95, electronic musics are going to enrich his universe. At the same period, he discovers percussions and joins different projects, groups and djs, in clubs, parties and concerts : 98 Serious Bass, drums and percussions (house funk). 99 Tarace Boulba, percussions (fanfare funk). 2000 Yvan Hio, drums (pop electro). 2001 Yop Soma, percussions (acid jazz). 2002 Marabunta, percussions and drums (soul, funk, house). 2003 collective Secret Vibes and LDB system, drums and percussions (ethno, trance).

Since 2001, 14 titles came out on compilations by Spirit Zone, Candyflip, Clima, Peak, Hoots, Cosmicleaf, Chillcode, Ajana records and Ultra vista records.... His titles hold swiftly the attention due to the kinematic dimension emanating. By the way, Confluents Association orders him a music between ambient, dub and jungle for a documentary "Démarches de rues" (Street process ou street steps) that came out at the beginning of 2005. A cup of tea? is his first album. In this first opus, Kick Bong invites us at a "tea time" for a tasting of ten coated dishes and psychedelic cream. Now! Franck compose for film animation and web site and play drums and percussions with Romy (electro song) and LDB system (tribadelic). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Kick Bong est le projet ambient et downbeat de Franck Jousselin.
