French Invasion, wir stellen den ersten DJ vor. Fred Adélic aus Nizza in seinen eigenen Worten: "It was Jamaican music that brought the sunshine I was missing during my teenage years in northern France. Beyond that warmth, ska, rocksteady, and early reggae opened the door to an incredibly rich world: the universe of soul music. Today, my musical influences are diverse, though I have a strong preference for 1960s music, particularly its vocals and authentic instrumentation. For over 20 years, I have been collecting original records across genres such as rare soul, Northern soul, funk soul, jazz, R&B, popcorn oldies, ska, rocksteady, early reggae, garage, and more.
In 2014, my partner in crime Eric Djiane and I launched a monthly all-nighter event series called “Soul Invictus Nights.” The goal was to share our music and invite a different DJ each month from France and across Europe. It ran successfully for 11 years. While no longer a monthly event, it continues occasionally — for example, New Year’s Eve parties. Together with the Green Hornet Association, we also organized several memorable Mod Weekenders under the name “The Riviera Affair.”
I am pleased that Eric and I will play for audiences in Berlin and Leipzig. Many thanks to Jörg and Bodo for the invitation."
