Release Notes:
General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters.
A French national and keen vintage keyboard player,
he initiated GE just before moving to San
Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and
a SM-57 mike, he started sewing together loops,
Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital
tweaking. GE became a musical journal that followed
RV through his move to Seattle, then back down to
the Bay Area, Berkeley, where he currently resides.
There, he started laying keys down for the Quannum
crew. Quannums own Lateef The Truth Speaker and
Chief Xcel returned the favor by guesting on GE.
Consisting of 12 songs from the journal, Cliquety
Kliqk was first released in France by Bleu
Electric, then picked up by Compost for Europe and
by Quannum for the US.
Aesthetically, GE is a project that refuses to land
in a particular bin at the record store. A mix of
vintage sounds, hip hop beats, noir riffs, dreamy
vocals, cinematic arrangements and digital twinkle,
Cliquety Kliqk embraces all of RVs musical
addictions. Radically new yet strangely familiar,
General Elektriks is like a friend that you meet
for the first time but feel like youve known all
your life.
Second album from General Elektriks, enjoy and if
