Fraîche ist der Sprung in den Rhein an einem heissen Sommertag. Es ist der Drop in deinem Lieblingslied, der dich liebevoll zwingt, den Kopf zum Beat zu bewegen.
Es ist aber auch eine Band: fünf Freunde aus Basel und ihre geteilte Leidenschaft für Grooves, für Funk, Soul und guten Pop. Gemeinsam erschaffen sie Songs, bedienen sich dabei an Methoden der alten und neuen Meister, mischen Mainstream mit Underground, spirituellen Soul mit sündhaftem Rock.
Das Endprodukt klingt ein wenig nach The Meters, nach Justin Timberlake, The Roots, Led Zeppelin, Jamiroquai und doch anders. Fraîche eben.

---------------------------------------------

Fraîche is like jumping into a lake on a hot summer‘s day. It’s the drop in your favourite song that gently forces you to nod your head to the beat.
But it’s also a band: five friends from Basel, Switzerland, that share a passion for grooves, for Funk, Soul and good Pop music. Together they create songs, using the techniques of the old and new masters, mixing underground with mainstream, spiritual Soul with unholy Rock.
The result sounds like The Meters, like Justin Timberlake, The Roots, Led Zeppelin and Jamiroquai, but very different. Let’s just say it sounds pretty Fraîche.

I’ve been making music for almost 30 years now – sometimes more, sometimes less seriously. All self-taught, because lessons are for people with patience. It all started with drums (loud and awesome), then guitar, piano, and bass joined the party – turns out rhythm alone doesn’t cut it.

Back in the day, I played in bands and various projects. These days, I run my own little music empire from home: a cozy studio, a loop station, some fancy plugins – and lots of creative freedom (plus neighbors with solid nerves).

What I haven’t tackled yet: writing lyrics and adding vocals. That’s where my respect kicks in – and my silence begins.
So, if you can write and sing and feel inspired by my instrumental ideas, I’d be thrilled to hear from you. Who knows, maybe something great will come out of it.
