Inspired to enter the field of electronic music by Britain's acid house explosion of the late '80s, Toby Marks took quite a different spin on electronica with his recordings as Banco de Gaia, introducing elements of Eastern and Arabic music, sampling similarly exotic sources, and tying the whole to ambient-dub rhythms.
The Banda Black Rio was formed in 1976 by the late Oberdan (Oberdan Magalhães). Characterized by a sound in which rhythm & blues served as the vehicle for danceable variations incorporating the gafieira style, samba, and jazz.
Beady Belle is a result of collaboration between Beate S. Lech and Marius Reksjø which began at the University of Oslo.
Neo-soul diva Beverley Knight channeled the sound and spirit of classic R&B to emerge as one of Britain's biggest new pop stars of the '90s.
Generally acclaimed as fusion's greatest drummer, Billy Cobham's explosive technique powered some of the genre's most important early recordings before he became an accomplished bandleader in his own right.
Legendary IRMA act Black & Brown, headed by Picchio Bagnoli and Andrea Raffini have been around for nearly 20 years and are known as the most prestigious funk band in Italy.
The music of Blue Knights thrives on rhythms and a very jazz influenced groove-piano. Amazing production, rich sounds and some very tight arranging and playing will capture all fun loving music gourmets.
French electronic music producer and DJ Christophe Le Friant built a career under the Bob Sinclar moniker, spreading the sounds of French house to international ears from the late '90s into the 2000s.
