Buy the first 7 inch from FATCITY RECORDS
"""Patchworks delivers yet another instant classic! A 2- sided 7 of pure quality! Side A is a slice of pure funk with a wah wah guitar underpinning the rhythm track that is further layered with Juan Rozoff's sublime vocals and some horn stabs - ace! But then side B is even better! a slice of pure 80's boogie! An unbelievable metronomic groove is embellished with a vocoder and some nice keys - dope!""""FATCITY Records (UK)

After Metropolitan Jazz Affair, The Dynamics and Mr President, master of musical ubiquity Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart proudly presents Uptown Funk Empire, a burning tribute to one of his all time greatest loves: Funk.

Bruno “Patchworks” Hovart, as a self-taught musician and typical teenager, started playling guitar, bass and keyboards at age 15, covering James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Cream in his bedroom and, later in college bands. His first releases are in the mid 90s, with deep house and disco live bands and various electronic projects. He quickly develops and shows very special skills for vintage disco/funk productions with a contemporary flavor. This gifted boy's been working with artists such as Amp Fiddler, Archie Shepp, Mr Day, Paul Randolph... and for many recording labels such as I Still Music (usa), Favorite Recordings (france), Infracom (germany), Further Out (uk)...

Uptown Funk Empire is an exciting and ambitious project, worthy of its name. While the first album is simply called "The Empire Strikes back", it's no joke... Forget the whole revival thing, this sounds like an actual rebirth of the real funky stuff.

It's like being back to the better days of Funk without a travel machine... the vibe is vintage but the sound is fresh...That's not funky music, that's FUNKY MUSIC ! This album is huge and it covers all the golden age Groove styles : Boogaloo, Soul, Disco, Boogie, Funk... but the music flows in the hands of a gifted modern producer. Bruno " Patchworks" Hovart plays bass, keyboards, computers... handling with love all composition, programming, arrangements, vocals...

With brilliant vocal featurings by silky Juan Rozoff, Brit-Soul legend Noel Mc Koy at his best, high-voltage divas Ange & Janice... and the funkysoul brother Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart himself on the mic... it's pure funkiness !

Beware, "The Empire Strikes Back" and is kicking... so get up & dance !

Raw Funk From The Barnyard Vaults





Nov 6 2008 8:11 PM

OUT NOW!! Despite loosing all ability to hear bass in my right ear, I have raided the Barnyard vaults to bring forth Mo' Oklahoma Dog BBQ, a collection of raw, fuzzed-up heavy funk. This compilation features a previously unheard version of Damp!, by Huffnall's Snatch and Grab, a real gem from the finest purveyors of Spacechutney, The Children of Tron and why not indulge yourself in Lloyd's Kitchen as he cooks for Hypermanic Relatives. If you like what you hear then feel free to contact me for more information.
