About Me

I'm musician, producer & DJ. I began music with piano when I was 5. Now, I play Double Bass & electric bass with UHT°. We've just released the second album, called Ghost Forest. Check it, and don't forget : Keep the groove. Peace to James Brown and all other genius.
About UHT° :
UHT°, fiery trio of the French electro-jazz scene !
UHT° (Ultra High Temperature) combines the universes of crashing vinyl and electronics with the power of acoustic instruments and constructed a UFO : Jazz with dance floor pulsations of ultra sophistication.
Second album long awaited, “Ghost Forest” is directing its message as with the first album "Peak of Pollution" towards nature, safeguarding the environment and against deforestation much of it illegal on our continents.
There one finds the realizations and programming Dj ClicK, founder of the group and sorcerer of tight rhythms. Still at his side Niño Korta and his blazing scratches which he releases as a multi instrumental soloist: trumpets, trombones, saxophone, piano... Then Lawkyz who makes his fingers dance on the strings of the double bass totally intoxicating and on fire. Accompanied by Crazy Flute for the Funky touch. Famous Portuguese and American featurings have add their voice and lyrics heated to 140° : Allonymous, Blu Rum 13 and Mr Tos.
Beside the festive and jazzy environment, the trio beyond all categories is proud to be eco-citizen-musicians ! This will is expressed through the tracks Ibama em Ação, Bluenvironment, Dersou Ouzala, Tchernobyl Lies, 1979 Ixtoc 1… The cover is also made on recycle paper.
After having traveled during the last 3 years throughout France, England, Canada, and the countries of Eastern Europe, and energized by their many experiences on the scene, they are again taking on tour a new very visual show (disguises, masks, dance, decorations...).
A live performance where wood, the wind of instruments, and the fire of turntables collide and combust with each other.
