GUTS
What to say, let the Pan-African Music Magazine speak: "Guts has felt many grooves in an almost-30-year career. From his key role as a producer for French hip-hop hitmakers Alliance Ethnik in the ‘90s – Respect! – to his 100% “Pura Vida” compilations mischievously playfully Beach Diggin’, besides many collaborations in the most funky circles of hip-hop (De La Soul, Common, Raggasonic, Svinkels, Les Sages Poètes De La Rue, and even The Roots’ Rahzel), and six albums under his own name including this latest delivery that has just hit the racks. Philantropiques, a pun that contains Guts’ malice, humility and utopia, is a well kept promise: the producer is a true philanthropist when it comes to the tropical regions’ cultures, particularly the Caribbean and Africa.
Fabrice Henri aka Guts is one of those precious light-hearted enlightened spirits. Always on the move, in search of any beat that will make his soul groove, the smiling face admitted in an interview with our colleagues from Brain magazine in 2014: “I want to make music that my children can listen to, or that makes you want to make love, to invite your friends to have a drink, to cook a good dish. In short, music to make people want to do simple things, real stuff.” Simple and funky, in short, to quote the lyrics of one of his earliest hit with Parisian major ’90s hip-hop band, the multicultural Alliance Ethnik."
We are super proud and happy to bring him back for an exlusive DJ Set at BiNuu this Fall to Berlin!
