Un projet excitant et intense, sans temps mort et aussi addictif qu'intrigant - Indiemusic 17 pistes qui sont autant de pépites que l'on redécouvre avec le même émerveillement à chaque nouvelle écoute. Voici un album qui vous nettoie les oreilles sans produit chloré - Djam Les apprentis chimistes de Chlorine Free remettent le couvert avec ' Free Speech ', brillant 3e album au groove complexe. L'album nous entraîne dans une déambulation au travers de paysages sonores protéiformes, contemplatifs et subtilement rythmés. Chlorine Free affirme ici encore plus en profondeur cette alchimie si particulière qui entre electronica, broken beat, jazz-funk avant-gardiste et hip-hop. Le groupe prend pleinement sa place dans ce courant musical refusant toute étiquette rébarbative et en plein essor qui, avec un esprit décloisonné, sait rassembler autour de lui des auditeurs de tous les horizons. Les invités Soweto Kinch et Nya étoffent et enrichissent la palette du groupe. Le groove hip-hop old-school de Chlorine Free porte des textes engagés dans leur troisième opus, entre hymne écolo et appel à prendre en main sa destinée. Recorded on May 11, 2018 at the Grand Auditoire, Like a jazz machine festival, Dudalange, Luxembourg TV Director, Samuel Thiebautt

Con Brio Ziek McCarter, vocal Brendan Liu, trumpet Marcus Stephens, saxopone Benjamin Andrews, guitar Patrick Glynn, keyboard Jonathan Kirchner, bass Andrew Laubacher, percussion Seven musicians formed Con Brio in 2003 with the same passion for the Bay Area's signature funk and psychedelic soul. San Francisco is where Sly and The Family Stone, Tower Of Power, The Headhunters and Darondo flourished. Con Brio produced their first EP, Kiss The Sun, in 2015 and are already famous on the West Coast for their electric concerts and Ziek McCarter's velvety vocals. After touring the US and Europe alongside veterans Galactic and Fishbone, the Californians headed to the studio to put their buzzing live energy on record in 2016. The result is called Paradise, an album in which 'We tried to create a narrative arc in the same way as we link tracks when we play live,' says McCarter. Con Brio has set the stages at the top US festivals Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Summerfest on fire. A good omen. Recorded on 2017, July 13th at the Jazz Festival in Vienne TV Director, Nicolas Micha
