General Elektriks
Behind the medals of General Elektriks stands Hervé Salters, an alchemist of sound who challenges the theories of musical relativity while working crowds up, in a paradox this electric storyteller revels in. After working in the 1990s with artists like Mathieu Chedid or Femi Kuti, he left France for San Francisco, then Berlin. General Elektriks turned his geographic and musical wanderings into real explorations. Unwilling to keep ploughing the same furrow, he would rather focus on his protean research, with groove and a clavinet as his only compass. His new album, To Be A Stranger, introduces his unique take on electro-soul and his nuanced world in which it is a pleasure to get lost dancing.
