Singles [Audio CD] DUPLAIX,VIKTER

Vikter Duplaix is a phenomenon. With futuristic visions of sound and a sense for musical traditions, the producer, singer and DJ from Philadelphia is bridging gaps like none other. Duplaix musically blends an optimism for the future with the wisdom of the past. He mixes this together into any kind of groove music, handling his heavy task relaxed, laid back - the easy way. No doubt, the future belongs to Vikter Duplaix. With his new collection Singles - Prelude to the Future, Vikter Duplaix presents obscure b-sides, remixes and rarities that represent a unique sound. Vikter Duplaix strolls between luscious pop, hot R&B, elegant chill out sounds and a never ending groove. His heart beats a breakbeat rhythm: nested, syncopated, complex but with the simplicity of the Afro American tradition, which Duplaix, as a percussionist has inhaled deeply. The sound of Vikter Duplaix is of flesh and blood. "Sensuality" is the magic word: While his rhythmic patterns are abstract, there is no cyborg dancing here as is fashionable amongst the standardised industrially produced R&B. When the future sounds like Vikter Duplaix, there's a reason to dance into the tomorrow.
