After two years of blowing up French, European and American stages, Smokey Joe & The Kid present their first release LP “Nasty Tricks” on French record label Banzaï Lab. A dangerously efficient mix of hip hop, electro and old Swing, that even 2Pac and Al Capone couldn’t say no to…
In this project, Smokey Joe (Bordeaux’s main musical mafia head) and The Kid aka “Senbeï,” (cheeky Parisian master of Turntablism), transport us back in time gangsters run streets of 1930’s Chicago. After a 1st EP released in June 2012 and of which 2 tracks had been on Beatport HipHop Top 100 for several months, the duet comes back in March 2013 to confirm that try with their 1st LP “Nasty Tricks”.
Great collaborations enhance that first opus: Puppetmastaz, R-Wan (Java), Lateef the Truthspeaker, Nomadic Massive, Youthstar (Chinese Man), Random Recipe, Sugaray...
With the help of their accomplices, these two gangsters mix Hip Hop and Electro with the groove and melodies of early 20th century Swing. Percussion solos played with scratches, beats and melodies banged out on the MPC, everything is performed live, there’s no doubt that Smokey Joe & The Kid know how to make a dancefloor go wild!!
Kidnapped, we retrieve consciousness in the middle of a crazy Block Party for a timeless Jam Session where urban poetry melts into the decadent energy of old speakeasies.
Smokey Joe & The Kid’s music spreads like cigar smoke, so if you hear “Nasty Tricks” on your neighbor’s stereo, it’s just a matter of time before the duet knocks at your door… “Nasty Tour” to start in March 2013!

Lead by Laurent Bardainne (Poni Hoax), David Aknin (DPZ, Insult Reason … ), Maxime Delpierre (Viva & the Diva, Paris) and Frédéric Soulard (Maestro), LIMOUSINE composes instrumental music, both pop and jazz.
Contemplative and sensual, LIMOUSINE’s music gracefully undulates to stretch time and admire silences. To the point that the four boys, fascinating and mesmerizing on stage, have been elected France’s musicians with the best hairstyle by the online magazine CrissCross, according to which «kings of the hair waves, Limousine are none the less princes of the sound waves”.
as far remote from virtuosos aspirations as from pure minimalism, LIMOUSINE successfully expresses with a few notes what others would write on several pages, and fully embraces the creation of songs without lyrics yet full of emotions.
Untitled, this is how their first album, released in 2005 on the Chief Inspec- tor label, presented itself. It was testifying, with as much force as delicacy, of the band’s love for soundtracks composed by the likes of angelo Badalamenti for David lynch, neil young’s for Jim Jarmusch’s Deadman or ry Cooder for Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas...
This is also probably why members of the Broadcast Club (autour de Minuit) chose the track Lila, featured on this album, to illustrate their short film of the same name, which went on to win an award at the Clermont-Ferrand Festival (jury’s prize, Télérama 2009 prize) and was nominated for the 2010 Césars (French film awards).
With «II», recorded at the Pigalle studios, LIMOuSInE goes further still by stating that as musicians coming from jazz and activists of the French independent scene, their influences also include the likes of Brian Eno or Air (Cosmos, Goodbye). References to their first album however transpire on titles such as Drianke or The Reindeer, used in the trailer of Bruno Dumont’s new film, Hors Satan, presented this year at the Cannes film festival, as part of the Un Certain Regard selection.
Visionary, this is what eventually should characterize the music of LIMOUSINE: Through nine titles and as many stories, the boys have reached beyond a nostalgia that nevertheless seems to hover above the album.
