if you had to sum up vikter duplaix in just one word, "presence"
would probably be most fitting. his presence as a producer is
equally matched by his dj
presence, which in turn is just as strong as his presence as a
vocalist and even his physical presence when he enters a room. (he
didn┤t win in last year┤s
philadelphia city paper music awards "most stylish" category for
nothing.)
you can┤t pin him down into one musical genre, but you can pick
out his sonic touch,
whether it┤s on an r&b song he produced or a jazzy dance track
laced with his vocals.
if you talk of the new philly soul movement, with names such as
the roots, ursula rucker, jill scott or bilal, vikter duplaix is
not far. although only 29 years old,
he is considered a veteran in philadelphia.
vikter has worked, in some form or another, on more than 100
different recordings. whether it┤s filtered through deep house or
neo-soul, his sound is simultaneously widely versatile and
distinctly his own. his producer, songwriter, remixer and vocalist
credits appear in the liner notes of albums by erykah badu,
jazzanova, king britt┤s sylk 130, jamiroquai, me┤shell
ndegeocello, incognito, esthero, cherokee,
jaguar, eric benet and uk two-step mc dynamite, to name a few.
along with the aforementioned britt, he is one half of scuba, a
self-described "aqua-house"
endeavor. and his first 12-inch as a soloist ("messages") was
released by no less than new yorks house gods masters at work and
was included on the incredible sound of gilles peterson
compilation.
