MINIMATIC-Spaggiari revient-Dark Funky Grooves-new LP
MINIMATIC Spaggiari revient Vadim Music new LP 1. Spaggiari revient 2. Une moto dans la nuit 3. Fin de bal au Negresco 4. La piccola Traccia 5. French Visa This record isn't a fake soundtrack to an existing movie. It's a real soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist at all. To the not so imaginary meeting of Spaggiari and Minimatic in Nice in 1977, between bright nostalgia and shady atmospheres, sunsets at the Paillon tunnel entrance, and flurries of cops in trench coats in front of the Negresco. Minimatic also almost (un)known as Brother Moulinex or Monsieur Sonotone or Raymond Tempi the erotomaniac, or most of the time as a bald guy called Pascal Houpert. Composer, musician, producer, living somewhere in Southwest of France. Born in Nice, 1970. Riviera, seaside, deluxe cars and high boots, eternal sun, "Promenade des Anglais"... Well, everything is said. Black and white. Fatal love for easy tunes, smoothly arrangements, sad pop, punk rock...& passion for the deep soul-funk ghetto sounds, deep grooves from the roots black culture. Between silliness and consciousness. Between kitsch & beauty. Always hesitating. How to precisely define his sound? Retro or modern? Funky or dark? Groovy or gloomy? Cheesy or suicidal? Never choose. Life has to be cinematic. That¿s all. In the real life, he has been seen in various positions: Playing Fender Rhodes live on stage for the UK pop songwriter Bill Pritchard, DJ mixing @ the glamorous Cannes French Film Festival alongside with Jean Croc & Ariel Wizman, composing cinematic soundtracks for serious contemporary theatrical plays, sound designing several TV ads and trendy luxury shops musical ambiances and inaugurating the Boutique-Chic EP series on Stereofiction. Recently fully involved in the production of the forthcoming Albert de Paname album for the French label Pschent. Minimatic appears on several tasty compilations around the world: Champs Elysees Cafe vol3, Erotic Lounge Vol6, La Perla, Music In Style...
