Benjamin Vndredi est un artiste polyvalent ; auteur, interprète et surtout compositeur de musique depuis près de 20 ans. Il pratique le piano depuis son plus jeune âge. Entamant son apprentissage musical à travers le classique et le jazz, il a ensuite délaissé l’approche dite scolaire pour se lancer dans la composition sous le pseudonyme « Dee Eye ».

Soucieux d’offrir aux auditeurs une proposition artistique originale et recherchée, il décide de s’essayer au chant et développe un goût pour l’interprétation. Sa musique est représentée par des mélodies prenantes, presque cinématographiques et accompagnées d'une certaine mélancolie.

L’émergence de cette nouvelle identité a été, pour lui, un moyen de se reconnecter avec l’essence même de son choix professionnel.

After several years in LA fronting bands of his own, and a cliched journey with alcoholism, multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Bates decided to take a break from the industry and started to make music under the name Big Black Delta. This was a time when UFOs were still a stoner campside conversation killer. The black triangles in the sky are the number one reported type of sightings. It also fits with his obsession of sacred geometry. "Making music for people while they figure out their own answers to things. Or not. I'm not your dad."

Between a guitar teacher who went to jail after only four classes and multiple denials from record labels, BLOWSOM had to rely really quickly on his unstoppable drive to write hisv artistic story.

Far from traditional trajectories and music academy’s benches, BLOWSOM took cover behind his computer and it’s with the help of the internet that the young Arnaud learned each instrument, one by one: drums, bass, keyboard and of course guitar, he learned it all. It’s thanks to this musical knowledge, that BLOWSOM is able to share his story with the
world. 

When the labels’ door stayed closed, BLOWSOM naturally decided to create his own label: 1901 Records, to gift his music to anyone who’d like to hear it. Under a year after the release of 1901 - PART I, his first EP completely auto produced, BLOWSOM is back with 1901 - PART II, new chapter set to come out on May 27th. 

Funny and touching at the same time, BLOWSOM’s spontaneity and the awkwardness of his irony (that became his brand on social media), allow the artist to wander all fields of image without ever being off topic. With his sidekick director César Tresca, they created the whole visual aesthetic of a character suited to his music: an ingenious mix of self depreciation and great sensibility, perfectly balanced by his honesty.

All along the tracks, BLOWSOM seduces not only the public opinion (over 10 Million streams on Spotify) but also medias and streaming platforms that never miss an opportunity to support him (Konbini, Jack, Earmilk, Brain, Les Inrockuptibles, playlists: Spotify Indie Pop, Bedroom Pop, Fresh Finds, Today’s Indie Rock and many other). 

With 1901 - PART II, BLOWSOM continues to unveil himself with a growing generosity. If some are still skittish to show their true emotions, BLOWSOM gives us his heart on a silver platter and reveals himself: an ordinary guy that copes with his lack of confidence through his music and keeps believing in the one true love story that will solve everything. From the routine anxiety in Médicament, to the idealization of a hopeless romantic relationship in Rosiana and You & I, unto 306, the last unexpected note of hope, BLOWSOM tells his hardship in finally declaring his love to his long time crush: Rosiana all along the EP. 

Mixing French and English in his lyrics, we find in BLOWSOM a peculiar artistic freedom enabled by his choice of writing his own story and following his heart. If you think it’s not perfect, it’s because it shows the mishaps of a life, similar to ours, that’s in the successes as much as the failures that we find the beauty of it.

Following his graduation from the University of Chicago in 2018, South Florida-raised rapper Blvck Svm found himself struggling to break through as an artist. After losing his job as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, he contemplated quitting music and moving home to find a regular job and apply to grad schools. But ultimately he decided to stay in Chicago and give music one last shot.   Svm decided to release a series of biweekly singles as a last-ditch effort to rejuvenate his career. The first single of that series, “Bleach,” released March 2020, caught fire a few months after its release, and it completely changed Svm’s trajectory. After 2+ years of consistent biweekly/triweekly releases, Svm has propelled himself into the full-time rapper position he has always envisioned.

Bobby Watson: Saxophonist/Composer/Arranger & Educator
   (www.bobbywatson.com)	
A GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist, composer, producer and educator, Bobby Watson trained formally at the University of Miami and then, from 1977-1981, earned his “doctorate” as musical director of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and appeared on 14 of the group’s recordings, more than anyone else in the ensembles 35-year existence. In addition to Blakey, Watson, early on the saxophonist worked with notable jazz icons such as Max Roach, Louis Hayes, George Coleman and Sam Rivers we well as working with peers and colleagues alike including, but certainly not limited to: Branford Marsalis; Wynton Marsalis; and vocalists Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves, Lou Rawls, Betty Carter and Carmen Lundy.

An association with bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Victor Lewis led Watson to launch the first edition of Horizon, the highly acclaimed acoustic quintet. He has also led the High Court of Swing (a tribute to the music of Johnny Hodges), The Tailor Made Big Band and is a founding member of the highly acclaimed 29th Street Saxophone Quartet. Watson also wrote original music for the sound track of Robert DeNiro’s directorial debut, A Bronx Tale. To date, the saxophonist has recorded 38 records as a leader and appears on close to if not an additional 100 recordings.

More than 100 Bobby Watson compositions have been recorded. Second Floor Music, his long-time publisher, makes his original combo and big band arrangements to other performers and educators. After a string of recordings for the Palmetto label, Watson released a pair of self-produced titles. The Gates BBQ Suite (2011), celebrates his hometown’s most famous food product with the music and track titles referencing the one-time family business. At the time of its release Gates became the perfect vehicle for his University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) jazz students, who participate in school’s Watson-directed program. Watson’s most recent release, Check Cashing Day (2013), honors the Civil Rights Movement in general and specifically the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famed “I Have A Dream” speech. His latest release, Made in America (Smoke Sessions, 2017) pays tribute to the lesser-known giants of American Black History. 

In 2000, after three decades in New York where he stood among the world’s most elite jazz musicians, Watson, at UMKC’s administration invitation, returned to Kansas City where he was awarded the first William and Mary Grant/Missouri Professor of Jazz as an endowed chair; part and parcel with the appointment, the saxophonist became UMKC’s Director of Jazz Studies, a position he continues to hold today. 

Watson has received a number of well-deserved awards recognizing his musical contributions during what is now more than a four-decade career. In 2011 the saxophonist was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of fame. In 2013 he received the prestigious Benny Golson Jazz Masters Award from Howard University in Washington, D.C. Simultaneously, Rep. John Conyers honored Watson by officially recognizing his work in the Congressional Record. On August 23, 2014, coincidentally Watson’s 61st birthday, he was selected as one of the first inductees into the then-newly established 18th and Vine “Jazz Walk of Fame.” He joined Pat Metheny as the only other living selection along with four of the city’s jazz icons: Count Basie, Jay McShann, Charlie Parker and Mary Lou Williams. 

While Watson continues to further develop and maintain UMKC’s Jazz Studies Departments, and making it into one of the country’s finest jazz programs, he also maintains an ongoing touring schedule traveling the world over either as a guest educator, band member or leading his own ensembles. In April 2015, he reunited after two decades with two of his longest standings collaborators bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith – as well as working with second generation pianist Keith Brown, son of Donald Brown, receiving across-the-board critical acclaim under the cooperative banner known as the National Pastimes Productions All-Stars.

« Real music by real musicians » avait coutume de dire Prince. Comme lui, le trompettiste Boney Fields appartient à cette génération d’artistes Afro-Américains nés pour dompter la scène.

Aussi n’est-ce pas un hasard si ses partenaires de jeu se nomment Lucky Peterson, Luther Allison, James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Liz Mc Comb, mais aussi George Clinton, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley ou Bootsy Collins.

Le funk et le blues, ces deux versants d’une même Great Black Music, Boney Fields les fusionne fidèlement et avec tout le savoir-faire d’une carrière passée à arpenter les scènes du monde entier.

Quant il débute sa carrière, cet enfant d’une famille nombreuse de Chicago a conscience qu’il aurait pu mal tourner. Mais entre le chant des ghettos et le chant Gospel dont ses parents se font l’écho, Boney Fields choisit une voix singulière, la sienne, qu’il enrichit de la pratique d’un instrument, la trompette. Chanteur et trompettiste, sa double casquette le propulse de sessions en sessions auprès de tous ces monstres sacrés. Il les accompagne en studio ou en tournée, non sans composer à ses heures « perdues » de savants arrangements pour section de cuivres, dans la lignée de Tower of Power ou de Earth Wind & Fire.

"Rien ne surpasse le plaisir du contact avec le public et celui d’être au milieu de ton groupe , de faire de la musique ensemble.”

- Boney Fields -

Loin des paillettes du Show Biz, c’est sur scène que Boney Fields apprend le métier et enrichit son art. Les tournées sont longues, la route pas toujours luxueuse. Peu importe les carences de sommeil ou le nombre de kilomètres parcourus, Boney Fields ne vit que pour la scène.

C’est là qu’il finit par forger son propre style, un métissage rétro futuriste de blues et de funk cuivré. Une esthétique bien à lui qu’il déploie sur disque comme sur scène à la tête de sa propre formation, un septet de choc qui a depuis longtemps percé la formule magique du groove des origines. Boney Fields & son Band, partout où ils passent, laissent derrière eux comme une trainée de poudre hautement énergétique et jubilatoire.

Showman infatigable, Boney Fields fait voyager sa musique aux quatre coins de la planète, invité de prestigieux festivals tels que Jazz à Vienne, Jazz in Marciac, Madajazzcar, Tabarka Jazz Festival… C’est durant ces shows qu’il rôde le vibrant répertoire de son 6ème album, un disque réalisé avec l’aide d’un collectif renouvelé de musiciens.

Et c’est sur ces mêmes scènes qu’il faudra venir le voir jouer sa nouvelle collection de « vraies » chansons, interprétées, comme disait Prince, « par de vrais musiciens »

Heavily influenced by John Coltrane, Kenny Garrett and Frank Ocean, Braxton mixes the improvisatory elements of jazz and the soulful melodies of R&B and deeply emotional songwriting into a fresh sound all his own. His music pulls from his experience as a Millennial Black jazz musician in America and his music aims to speak to the margins in society.
While still a student at The Juilliard School, Braxton began his career touring the world with trumpeter Christian Scott. During this time Braxton recorded and released his first EP
called Sketch (2014), quickly followed by Braxton Cook meets Butcher Brown (2015). Following the release of Somewhere in Between (2017), Braxton toured the album internationally performing in London, Japan and across the United States. The album had 4 tracks that landed on Spotify's Top 50 Viral in the U.S. playlist. Shortly thereafter, multiple tracks from the album were listed on State of Jazz and Alternative R&B playlists and Braxton was later placed on the cover of The Butter Playlist. In Spring of 2018, Braxton worked with a number of West Coast producers (Swarvy, Kiefer, Allmos) to create a collaborative project called Somewhere in Between: Remixes & Outtakes.
Braxton most recently released his sophomore album No Doubt (2018) which debuted at #2 on the iTunes Jazz Charts and amassed over 1M streams in the first few weeks. In addition, as a leader, Braxton now has his first international tour under his belt and plans to continue touring and releasing music to his growing fan base in the coming year.

"bref." est une série humoristique française créée par Kyan Khojandi, Bruno Muschio (Navo) et Harry Tordjman. Diffusée à l'origine entre 2011 et 2012 dans Le Grand Journal sur Canal+, elle raconte à un rythme effréné et avec beaucoup d’autodérision le quotidien d’un trentenaire anonyme en quête de sens, d’amour et de stabilité. 

En 2025, plus de dix ans après la fin de la première saison, une saison 2 est annoncée. Elle reprend les codes qui ont fait le succès de la série tout en explorant les nouveaux défis de l’âge adulte, comme la parentalité, le couple ou encore le rapport au temps et à soi-même.

Bren Joy was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and started writing music at the start of 2018.

Joy takes pride in imperfection, pointing to the raw, organic nature of East Coast artistry as inspiration for his instrumental landscape. He gathers collaborators, namely in the folk, alt and jazz houses, to blend with his Alt-R&B nature. These varying dynamics mimic the different aspects of love Joy explores, each eventually pointing to the importance of self discovery. Love, in any instance––whether a beautiful or difficult experience––ultimately manifests itself as an important learning curve.

“J’ai toujours l’impression d’être en décalage, partout où je vais”. Brö détonne et cultive sa singularité. Sur scène, elle surclasse les rappeurs dans des battles à l’ancienne, verre de chardonnay à la main et manteau cintré sur les épaules. Sur disque, entre chant et rap, elle évoque sans complexe sa sexualité et le désir féminin. Elisa Brolli, de son vrai nom, aime “penser en dehors des cases”.

“Hybride” est certainement le mot qui la définit le mieux. A l’adolescence, le jour, elle chante les poèmes qu’elle écrit, en français et en anglais, sur les compositions du groupe pop-rock dont elle fait partie. Et la nuit, dans sa chambre, elle s’entraîne à kicker les textes les plus techniques des rappeurs américains, Eminem en tête, pour briller en soirée. De la poésie elle gardera le sens de la formule qui percute l’esprit ; de ses karaokés nocturnes, le goût de la performance.

Aujourd’hui la jeune artiste de 25 ans mêle le tout dans une fusion des genres portée par ses deux musiciens, Jules à la guitare et au piano, et Elie à la basse et aux machines notamment. Ensemble, ils mixent leur amour du rap avec des influences soul-funk et RnB, s’essayent au jazz, s’inspirent de musiques brésiliennes, d’électro… Il en ressort un son organique, teinté de groove, sur lequel la voix envoûtante de Brö navigue au gré de ses flows riches en mélodies.

Broken Jaw are a Punk Metal band from Gloucestershire, England who have somehow
managed to splice together two incredibly prestigious and loved genres, in order to create what can 
only be described as "a huge, mosh-inducing, battering, energetic and manic
machine" This all culminates into one hell of a mad and rowdy show and this band knows,
just how to party.
The band boasts two furious guitarists, a booming bassist, who also adds pummelling backing vocals, 
a rabid machine of a drummer and a tenacious, ferocious and venomous frontman.
They are an extremely energetic, aggressive, fun and rowdy band,
who will spark adrenaline and movement into any crowd that they play to!

In 2023 the band travelled up and down the UK playing almost 30 headlining shows.

On vocals - Nutzie Shelley
Guitars - John Virgo & Sam Aston
Bass - Josh Hughes 
Drums - Sean Watkins

Les journalistes doivent parfois redoubler d’imagination pour définir au mieux l’univers de certains artistes, en particulier lorsque ces derniers assument des partis-pris artistiques aussi marqués que ceux de Butter Bullets depuis dix ans. Le groupe a pourtant simplifié la tâche de toute la profession en synthétisant l’essentiel de son esthétique directement dans le titre de son album : Noir Métal. 

Toujours plus profondément sombre et négatif, Sidisid -le rappeur affiche ainsi pendant un peu moins d’une heure une malveillance à la limite du sadisme (“le rap c’est une pute et j’le mène à la baguette”, 45 Scientific), tandis que Dela -le beatmaker s’applique à sublimer la cruauté de son binôme avec des productions aussi oppressantes que précises. Butter Bullets brille dans la noirceur, à l’image de certains trous noirs plus lumineux que des galaxies entières. 

Treize ans après Les Nouveaux Romantiques, Butter Bullets a perdu en cours de route la majorité de ses illusions, ne conservant qu’une exigence artistique démesurée et un amour aussi sincère pour les belles choses que pour les idées malsaines (“tout en noir comme Donatella à l’enterrement de Gianni”). Né au sein d’une scène marginale de la musique française (Crack Bizz, 2007), le groupe s’est inséré dans le monde du rap avec Peplum (2012) et Memento Mori (2015), avant de le rejeter lentement mais sûrement avec Air Mès et Hermax (2018) et donc Noir Métal (2019).

Techno hybride et futuriste, c'est ainsi que l'on peut définir la signature musicale de BXTR. Ce producteur parisien puise ses inspirations dans les modèles cybernétiques et d'intelligences artificielles, qu'il traduit dans ses productions à travers des ambiances aériennes et des textures, agrémentées de grooves modernistes et d'un sound design raffiné. Son univers fantasmé et dystopique promet un voyage avant-gardiste, où des humanoïdes glitchés et des chimères cybernétiques seront vos compagnons de route.

Byr0n, c’est la naissance d’un nouveau courant hybride où le metal croise la techno comme si c’était une évidence. Une énergie brute, métallique, qui pulse sur des rythmes électroniques taillés pour secouer les murs. Au-delà du son, les textes vont droit au cœur : profonds, sincères, parfois crus, toujours vrais. Une fusion atypique qui crée un style en train de naître… et qui n’a pas fini de faire du bruit.
