Baleine 3000 is a big sound system, big as a whale. Baleine 3000
is a dangerous crew, a whale that will swallow you. Baleine 3000
has an MC Illreme (Japan, Tokyo), honestly the best japanese MC
of this decade. The only guy who risks a stage dive at a two
persons audience. Baleine 3000 has a DJ, Afrojaws (France), an
awfull DJ who drops and brakes the mix as if he was shoveling a
hand of tricked fake pokemon cards. Baleine 3000 has a music
producer, SUN OK Papi K.O. aka Laurent Baudoux (Fan Club
Orchestra / ex-Scratch Pet Land, Belgium) from the land of New
Beat.
Baleine 3000 started as a project to assure a great European tour
after the CD release of "Orchestre Philharmonok" by Sun OK Papi
K.O. (Sonig 2006). Maybe not the best CD, but it's got some great
tracks, and above all a fresh musical proposition. It was also the
first appearance of Illreme, who was introduced to Sun OK by Ali
Durt Morimoto, Director of the Japanese Guggenheim. Sun OK
simply asked him to find the most ingenious Japanese MC, and
quite immediately he got Illreme's email address. It worked out and
things started happening. DJ Afrojaws is the guy to set the stage on
fire, which is good, 'cause Sun OK Papi K.O. is too shy, his sparks
jump to the three of them and make things happening. It's not like
sticking a 72 oz. whale stake to your throat, it's not evil but
generous.
The music of Baleine 3000 has a southern wind, I mean, you can
feel the influences of Baile Funk, Angola Beat, Miami old school
bass music or even Reggae, 129 BPM or 140 BPM. What makes it
really interesting is the experiments whith those ingredients. It's
about reinventing and creating something unique. Try to picture a
big Wii zapper bazooka with total body vibration. Their closing
concert at the Palais des Beaux Arts / Brussels was great, the
music as well as the show and the guest appearance of the
infamous RBDX spider. The audience is still shocked today. During
their tour, Baleine 3000 spent some time in Normandy, in a small
studio called Chaudelande. Here they recorded Illreme's vocals to
put on the new tracks because it was clear they had more to offer.
Here is the result, the "Tour Manager E.P."
