Solid Gold #176 with Oren Amram - The Hits of 1976 - Radio Plus 10/07/2025

"Follow Me" – Deep House Rework
Amanda Lear’s disco classic returns with hypnotic depth: pulsating progressive house beats, dark synth layers, and a smoky male vocal transform "Follow Me" into a seductive, late-night floor filler. Timeless desire meets underground elegance. Made for strobe-lit moments and eyes-closed surrender.

Solid Gold #177 with Oren Amram - The Hits of 1977 - Radio Plus 17/07/2025 + special bonus

The Weight (Studio Session Mar. 2025) – FACTORY (Mark III)

Registrata in sala prove a marzo 2025, questa versione di The Weight dei FACTORY (Mark III) è un omaggio potente e rispettoso, ma al tempo stesso reinterpretato con una personalità ben marcata. Alla voce solista e chitarra acustica c’è Antonio Miscali, che conduce il brano con un timbro caldo, narrativo, a tratti dolente, perfetto per restituire la tensione e la malinconia che permeano l’originale.
Sergio Virdis lavora di cesello sulla chitarra elettrica, scegliendo timbri sobri ma incisivi, con un tocco che ricorda il periodo più maturo e “roots rock” della Band, ma che ammicca anche al fraseggio liquido di Mike Bloomfield. Il suo dialogo con l’Hammond è uno dei punti forti della traccia.
Silvio Vinci alterna con grande gusto piano e organo Hammond, donando al brano un respiro gospel e soul, in perfetta linea con lo stile di Al Kooper: i suoi interventi non sono mai invadenti, ma sempre determinanti, capaci di colorare ogni passaggio con profondità emotiva.
La sezione ritmica di Chris Pain e Luca Monaco è compatta, calda, dal groove dondolante. Il basso di Chris, rotondo e melodico, tiene insieme i passaggi più dinamici, mentre Luca alla batteria regala un beat rilassato ma deciso, in pieno spirito americana, tra laid-back e driving pulse.

Il risultato finale è una versione di The Weight che mantiene l’anima del brano originale ma si sposta verso territori sonori che richiamano le collaborazioni tra Kooper e Bloomfield e il rock elegante e riflessivo della Band nella seconda metà degli anni ’70. Una ballata epica, sospesa, profondamente umana.

Soulagent79 - Fly (Across the Sky)

[Intro]
Get down, get down, a whole lotta rhythm goin' round
"We want our rights"
Get down, get down, a whole lotta rhythm goin' round
"I run this town"

[Verse 1]
I'm standing proud, and I'm sayin' it loud
Gonna get my rights, even if I have to fight
My mother was from another land, my father an immigrant man
They worked so hard, but the rewards were banned
Now I'm takin' life into my own hands
Gonna make everyone understand
I might be poor, not driving your fancy car
But I'm a proud man, and I've come this far.

[Pre-Chorus]
You can try your best, but you won't shut me down
Started my own thing, and now I own this town
I know the boys in blue don't like my face
But you'll never break me, I'm setting my own pace.
I was born to be free, yeah that's the real me.

[Chorus]
Ow, we want the funk!
So don't give me that junk!
Yeah, we need the funk!
And I ain't no punk!
We're gonna tear the roof off the sucker, now!
We're gonna tear this whole place down!
We're gonna tear the roof off the mothersucker, now!
Let's turn this mother out!

[Verse 2]
Saw you jump when I came around
Shakin' your rump to my funky sound
Used to look down, now you can't get enough
This beat is hypnotic, this rhythm is rough
From the bottom I rose, against all the odds
Now I'm the one callin' all the shots
So pass that good vibe, let the music flow
We got that funk, now watch us glow.

[Pre-Chorus]
You can try your best, but you won't shut me down
Started my own thing, and now I own this town
I know the boys in blue don't like my face
But you'll never break me, I'm setting my own pace.
I was born to be free, yeah that's the real me.

[Chorus]
Ow, we want the funk!
So don't give me that junk!
Yeah, we need the funk!
And I ain't no punk!
We're gonna tear the roof off the sucker, now!
We're gonna tear this whole place down!
We're gonna tear the roof off the mothersucker, now!
Let's turn this mother out!

[Bridge]
"Got my own business... I run this town"
"Shake your rump... we have the funk"
"Born free... and that's me"
"A real type of thing going down... gettin' down"

[Chorus]
Ow, we want the funk!
So don't give me that junk!
Yeah, we need the funk!
And I ain't no punk!
We're gonna tear the roof off the sucker, now!
We're gonna tear this whole place down!
We're gonna tear the roof off the mothersucker, now!
Let's turn this mother out!

[Outro]
We gotta have that funk!
(La la la la la)
Give up the funk!
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!)
We need that funk!
(A whole lot of rhythm going round)
We want that funk!
(We're gonna turn this mother out)

"I run this town..."

The Funk

No compromise. Raw.

I like to capture the most present feeling of the day in a track.

Straight from the heart.

J'étudie la pratique de l'orgue Jazz à l'âge de 14 ans à Paris avec Armand Motta (pianiste de Barbara , Brassens) et j'ai mon premier synthé en 1976. Des études musicales en section T1 Musique au Lycée de Sèvres, avec dans la classe : Louis Winsberg du groupe Sixun et  Ludovic de Preissac. Je fais à l'époque partie de différents groupes pop/rock/funk et fais des rencontres musicales enrichissantes à l'aube des années 80 au Studio Vitamines à Gentilly et au Studio Witas à Chaville. En 1988, je découvre la MAO et je m'enferme alors avec synthés et ordis pendant pas mal de temps pour explorer tout ça et commencer à composer sérieusement. Passionné par le Jazz, l'énergie du Funk, j'aime la fusion des styles (electro/acid jazz/drum & bass/musiques du Monde). Quelque temps en 2006 au sein de Atif and Soul People et de Notsos sur Versailles. Mes claviers préferés sont l'orgue Hammond, le Fender Rhodes, le Wurlitzer et bien sur les synthés analogiques au gros son bien funky. Les rencontres qui m'on marqué : Rhoda Scott en 1974 au Club St Germain, Bertrand Richard (p.) qui m'a montré mes premiers accords de Blues, Philippe Khalifa (gt.), Stephan Gibu (dr. & bs.) des groupes de funk/gospel "Ray Sidney Firm Soundation" et "Soul Activation", Loïc Bordas (sax & bs.), Bernard Le Bellego, Emmanuel Barrache (gt. harmo.) des groupes "Quai Ouest" et "Chicago Line Blues Gang" , Patrice Barreau (dr.), les musiciens de 'Atif and Soul People' et de 'Notsos'...

 'Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.' - Oscar Wilde

"Welcome to my world of music where each song is a mirror of my inner self.

Living with hypersensitivity, my emotions run deep and so do my lyrics. 

Writing music is not just a passion, it's a lifeline. 
It helps me process the chaos, the beauty, the pain and the moments of light.

Each song I create carries the weight of real experiences drawn from struggles, intensity and vulnerability. 

I write to understand myself and hopefully to help others feel understood too.

While studying Songwriting and Sound Engineering I also explore the use of AI music production tools to expand my emotional storytelling with modern and expressive soundscapes.

All lyrics in my original songs are written by me, born from my inner voice and truth.
(With the exception of reworks or covers.)

Thank you very much for listening to my tunes and stories.
If my songs resonate with you, know that you're not alone."

Let´s keep posted ...
