The Swing Phenomenon
Si certains se demandent d’où vient le nom de la chanson, c’est tout simplement le titre d’un classique de la house par Armand Van Helden, The Funk Phenomena. Nous voulions à notre manière reprendre l’idée de ce classique de la house et y mettre notre petite touche. D’ailleurs dans le remix de Dj Mibor on entend clairement Swing Phenomena dans les parties masculines utilisées pour le remix. La chanson décrit plus ou moins notre premier contact avec le swing lors d’une soirée au Divan du Monde. Un souffle de joie et de bonne humeur! Ce fut notre première collaboration avec Nicolle Rochelle que nous avions admirée dans le rôle de Joséphine Baker dans la Comédie Musicale de Jérôme Savary à l’Opéra Comique. Dire que nous lui avions envoyé un petit message de félicitations sur son myspace à l’époque…. Le temps passe si vite !

If you’ve ever wondered where the title of this track comes from, it was a joke we  played fashioned on the Armand Van Helden epic title "The Fink Phenomena". We wanted to pay a tribute to the house culture and keep all this in a swing spirit. The song, in a way, tells of our first contact with the swing community when we attended our first swing party. We were blasted by the energy and the good mood, which just begged to be told in a track. This is also the first track of a long-lasting collaboration with Nicolle Rochelle, who we had seen performing as Josephine Baker in the Jérôme Savary musical that was a triumph on the Parisian stage.

Bart&Baker feat Nicolle Rochelle "The Swing Phenomenon" (Radio edit)

"My voice is my platform and if I don't use it, I don't deserve it."

All my life
Could I spend on this cloud
Never will I have listened
To every sound.

Shufflecopter is taking off on dance floor three.

Sound equals life quality.

PM on telegram @JinCocknito 40/5 (that's not even close to a workweek for me!).
Contacting hours are changing with every new moon cycle.
Show me your hearts, no Wieners.

I fell asleep, edinting in progress...

Every list an alterego
Every word a notion
Probably absurd
Never fear emotion
Because it will be heard.

I am trying to keep all playlists sorted but at the moment I am discovering new, high quality music way faster than I could ever be able to screen properly so don't be surprised about some not having a clear direction yet.
It's called work in progress, not a mess! (:

Bart&Baker are two peas in a pod, blending seamlessly to create a unique musical style and sound.... 
Although they come from different musical backgrounds (Jazz & Classics for Jo Baker, Pop & House Music for Bart Sampson) together they build a bridge between the acoustic tradition of "feel good" tunes, and the constant reinvention of electronic beats.
Bart&Baker are not limited by genre or style: their music can best be described as "House Music with a smile and a style". Whether it's ElectroSwing, Deep & Funky House, or Nudisco, a tune remains a tune.
