BLUE SESSIONS II - VON KRAHL 25 aprill.
The Blue room:
CHATEAU FLIGHT - DJ GILB’R (Versatile Records; Paris)
Gilbert Cohen - aka Dj Gilb’r- started as a Hip-Hop Dj cultivating the raw and infectious sound of Public Enemy as well as the conscious and sophisticated rhyming of The Native Tongue Posse ( Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest). As many other French B-Boys, Gilbert built up his record collection by moving from sampled based Hip Hop to its original sources Funk, Soul and Jazz music.
After receiving several demos, Gilbert launched his Versatile imprint (founded March 1996) with the first release of young Parisian producer Nicolas Chaix. Under the I:Cube moniker, Chaix stroke a massive underground hit with his “Picnic Attack Ep” featuring a notoriously groovy Daft Punk Remix.
In 1997, reacting to the increasingly stale nature of drum & bass, Gilb’r created Versatile subdivision “Future Talk” and launched Bel Air Project’s “Dark Jazzor Ep” which is still hailed today as a Nu-Jazz classic. After a string of classic drum & bass releases ( “One Force”, “I Like / Schema”) Gilbert followed the path of West-London producer Dego of 4-Hero fame by focusing on jazz music and jazz-influenced breakbeat. In 1999, Future Talk released the critically acclaimed Joakim Lone Octet debut (Tiger Sushi) heralding the jazz-tinged productions of the likes of Cinematic Orchestra, Amon Tobin, Freeform Arkestra etc.
Gilbert Cohen. After several remixes (Pierre Henry, Air) and one EP (”Discobole”), I:Cube and Dj Gilb’r have decided to team up once again under the Château-Flight moniker to release their debut LP : “Puzzle”. The pair have come-up with an innovative formula that sounds like Matthew Herbert bouncing into Larry Levan at John Waters’ vintage eighties paraphernalia shop. With much in store for the new millennium , Gilbert Cohen has already left his mark on the nineties as a talented producer that chose to focus on the quality of music instead of chasing the hype most fall for.
