[2017] Jamiroquai - Automaton (Gilbert Le Funk Rework)

If you want to fly, you need to free your mind first and then your body.

Jam is an eclectic camaraderie of intelligent virtual Samurai Apes who know how to hold down a baseline.

While Hip hop and Reggae were Jams roots, Sporting influences from funky commercial legends including Jamiroquai, Cassius, Fat Boy Slim, Groove Armada, Gorillaz and Daft Punk were all a big part of the Jam’s life. 

Jam's favourite sets regularly include West Coast style American house/techno including but not exclusive to funky festival sounds from “Desert Hearts records” “Mikey Lion” and “Lee Reynolds” that add that underground festival music style to his sound.
 
Uk influences include Latmun and Darius Syrossian, while elements of Berlin and Amsterdam flavouring his tastes from Icons like "Sidney Charles", “Andhim” and  “Dennis Ferrer” for that warm, fuzzy bouncing deep club sound, or  "Township Rebellion" , "Ben Coda"and "Matador" for darker melodic vibes, you can really never tell what Jam will play until he hits the decks!


enjoy! much love! 🤙🏽

Gilbert Le Funk is a DJ, musician and record producer.
 
Starting to compose at the age of 11, he got into music production in the late 90s, greatly influenced by the eurodance and house music of Paul Van Dyk, Bob Sinclar, Armand Van Helden, or ATB. Though later he would spend the day listening to more diverse music, from Stravinsky to Casiopea, Incognito or Frank Zappa, which lead him to learn to play electric bass and trumpet as well as setting up is own studio, where he would first work as a musical arranger for other artists.

In 2005 he was moving away from acid jazz and his label La Musique Fantastique was born, starting his Gilbert Le Funk project by making remixes for labels Delecto (CAN), Catch 22 (NYC) or Transport (SF) as well as playing some of the biggest soulful house music acts all over Spain. In 2006 he produced “Work It Out” for DJ Disciple, a track that would mark a before and after in his career, making him responsible for one of the underground hymns during that year. Later, his remix of "L.A. Girls" was premiered by Dimitri From Paris and used on the MTV series "The Hills". In 2008, "Afrikantastique" got licensed by Defected and Subliminal and it wasn't long until he became a major player in the house scene. 

A solid string of releases have followed since then, topping the charts "All About the 90s", "Something", "New Dawn" or the more recent "Wanna Be Free", taking him to tour the world as a DJ, playing venues from the US to Costa Rica, Russia or UAE.
