Alex Gopher first came to the attention of the music press with the band Orange, along with a few other gents you may have heard of -
Etienne de Crécy, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel (the latter two you might know as
Air). What can we say - some supergroups are just super from the start. After the band's split, Gopher created the label Solid and released "
You, My Baby & I". The rest is disco-funk history.
Solo's story is one of steady growth: since his acclaimed 2004 debut "Songs 'n' Sounds", he has toured solidly and garnered the support of an ever growing fanbase. His last release "Selection", on
Excelsior, is a departure into melodic acoustica, close-mic poetry and melancholic folk. Tonight, though, expect Solo in his Tech-house DJ guise.
Also present:
Brodinski, wunderkind of the electro scene and guaranteed bringer of heavy minimal breaks.
