A French national and a keen vintage keyboard player, Salters was laying down keyboards for his bands and for various artists in Paris (Femi Kuti, M, etc…) before he moved to San Francisco in 1999. He sarted working on funk collages as he was moving to the US, using his favorite keyboards, a computer and a mic. GE became a musical journey that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back to the Bay Area, in Berkeley, where he currently resides. There, he hooked up with the Quannum crew (Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, DJ Shadow…) and started sessioning for them. He invited Quannum ’s own Lateef The Truthspeaker and Chief Xcel on a few tracks, then completed the 1st GE album, Cliquety Kliqk. Hailed by URB as Ennio Morricone for the 21st century, the album was a far out mix of vintage funk, hip hop beats, noir riffs, cinematic arrangements, pop melodies and digital twinkle. false 0 littlelady 23957 2330 229 5 Fairtilizer 23957 - general elektriks - Little Lady.mp3 true 752 57864 http://www.quannum.com/site/ false 2009-02-24T09:41:34Z 1 1 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z false 2275.12 184 11987106 0 2 89 true 2009-08-18T14:36:54Z http://www.discograph.com Discograph http://vimeo.com/3157838 Watch Video 18428 604 http://www.general-elektriks.com
