Release Notes:
Recorded / Performed : Winter 2008 (Canal+)
The foundation of the Dynamics' reggae music is profoundly
indebted to '60s/'70s deep soul and funk. Their initial
appeal to club DJs, crate-diggers, and classic reggae
aficionados came from their cover songs, transforming
indie rock, disco, and Northern soul songs into vintage,
analog-induced rocksteady and dub. Originating from
disparate places around the globe such as Cameroon,
Boston, U.S., and Bristol, England, this five-person
outfit -- Mounam (vocalist/songwriter), Mr. Day
(vocalist/songwriter/bassist), Stevie Levi
(vocalist/MC/songwriter), Patchworks
(producer/multi-instrumentalist), and Flab Master Flab
(producer/engineer) -- officially established the
retro-soul, reggae group in late 2003 in the La
Croix-Rousse arrondissement of Lyon, France. Although
their love for reggae has maintained the group's unity,
they each have additional backgrounds, deriving from
various solo and group projects, in African worldbeat,
hip-hop, deep house, dance-pop, gospel, and acid jazz
which all bleed onto the Dynamics' organic recordings and
performances. They debuted with the 7" White Stripes cover
Seven Nation Army, which first appeared in 2006 via Big
Single. Due to the single's favorable response, they
inundated the market with several more 7"s the following
year, including the popular dub/post-disco cover of
Madonna's 2000 number one hit "Music." Striking a deal
with the German-based Groove Attack, at the end of that
year the Dynamics released their debut long-player,
Version Excursions, complete with soul-funk-reggae hybrid
interpretations, like "Fever" (the Bee Gees), "Miss You"
(the Rolling Stones), and "Land of a 1000 Dances" (Chris
Kenner/Fats Domino).
