About Empire of Sound
EMPIRE OF SOUND was born out of a duo formed by MC MATTIC (USA) and composer/keyboardist JUKE (FR). The two artists discovered they shared similar interests in Black Culture and had the same will to bring hip-hop alive thanks to a real jazz-band. Romain Joutard (Drums), Julien Herné (Bass), Benoît Medrikowsky (Guitar) et Lucas Saint-Cricq (Saxophone, Flute, DJ) rapidly joined the pair in Paris. In line with the US hip-hop jazz scene (with the likes of The Roots, Robert Glasper Experiment or RH Factor), EMPIRE wish to shake the European Rap scene by combining rich harmonies, powerful grooves and impactful lyrics. Their first EP "Dawn Of The Empire" will be set for Spring 2014, with prestigious special guests appearing in a Jessy Nottola music video. ------------------------------ EMPIRE OF SOUND est né d'un tandem formé par le MC MATTIC (USA) et le compositeur et pianiste JUKE (FR), deux artistes s’étant découvert des affinités au travers de leur Black Culture, et partageant la même envie, celle de faire vivre le hip-hop avec un "real jazz-band". Un tandem vite rejoint par Romain Joutard (Batterie), Julien Herné (Basse), Benoît Medrikowsky (Guitare) et Lucas Saint-Cricq (Saxophone, Flûte, DJ). Dans la lignée du hip-hop jazz US et notamment de The Roots, Robert Glasper Experiment ou du RH Factor, EMPIRE entend bien réveiller la scène Rap européenne, en mariant de riches harmonies à un groove puissant, et en assaisonnant le tout de textes savamment construits. Leur premier Ep "Dawn Of The Empire" sortira au printemps 2014, avec la participation de nombreux invités de prestige, le tout mis en image par un clip signé Jessy Nottola... Quality Hiphop
