Art-X, four letters for a man and an instrument. And not just any instrument, as it’s melodica. Never out without his fetish toy, Art-X revisits, remixes and composes tracks like the one that could be presented as his spiritual father: Augustus Pablo. With the one difference that Art-X is not limited to the foundations of Jamaican reggae.
Undeniably influenced by Bass Music scene, the melodicist from Tours, France navigates between oldschool remixes and innovative compositions … which results in an energetic and meditative Dub.
10 years after founding, with his brother Olo, the band Ondudground and the weblabel ODGProd, Art-X launched in 2014 his solo project. His constant creativity has led him to release several EPs and noted albums, such as « Toy Story », « Spiritual Father » or recently « Blue Lotus ». Musician since childhood, Art-X plays many French and European scenes but also international. For example, Mexico was able to appreciate his natural talent for melodies.
Sometimes accompanied by a band, often supported by a dub operator, Art-X offers on stage a stonning and stimulating live. A singular and hardly imitatable performance.
10 ans après avoir fondé, avec son frère Olo, le groupe Ondudground et le weblabel ODGProd, Art-X lance en 2014 son projet solo. Sa constante créativité l’amènera à sortir plusieurs EP et albums remarqués, comme « Toy Story », « Spiritual Father » ou dernièrement « Blue Lotus ». Musicien depuis l’enfance, Art-X écume les scènes françaises, européennes mais aussi mondiales. Le Mexique a par exemple pu apprécier son talent naturel pour les mélodies.
Parfois accompagné d’un groupe, souvent épaulé d’un dub opérateur, sur scène Art-X propose un live à la fois planant et stimulant. En somme, une prestation singulière et difficilement imitable.
Art-X è un compositore, suona la tastierista e melodica dall’età di 16.
Ha fondato con il fratello la band Ondubground nel 2007. Dopo l’uscita di 15 album ed EP, e numerose collaborazioni con ad esempio Biga Ranx e Brother Culture, Art-X ha deciso nel 2014 di creare il suo progetto solista, con l’uscita del suo primo album dedicato al suo strumento preferito, la melodica.
Intitolato « Toy Story », l’album è composto da 11 tracce attraverso 9 collaborazioni: Ondubground, Roots Raid, Dawa Hifi, Panda Dub, Manu digitali, Hatman, Lab Frequency, Miniman e Brain Damage.
Nell’ agosto del 2014, Art-X è tornato con il suo secondo album « Cook & Curry ». Quest’ album si ispira al reggae-roots classico. La musica ci porta in un viaggio attraverso la storia della musica reggae, supportato dal tocco magico di X-Art e della sua Melodica.
I due album sono disponibili in download gratuito sulla net-label www.odgprod.com .
Nel 2015, Art-X torna con l’ EP«Melodica Circuit» in collaborazione con Atili Bandalero.
Sul palco, Art-X suona la melodica e mix dal vivo, dalle radici del dub al dub stepper da solo o con l’artista di Flying Fish (batteria, mix).
