Biography

Originally concealed in the credits of the record sleeves under the heading "composition and production", Guts secured his renown of beatmaker by trimming the band of Alliance Ethnik, Big Red or Svinkels.

In solo since 2007 and his album "The Wax On Records", he then expanded his musical palette with "Freedom", a darker but also more built record released on his own label Pura Vida. Exiled in Ibiza, it is

from his island of the Balearic Islands that he will publish in 2011 "Paradise For All", on the label that is

still his, Heavenly Sweetness.

And The Living Is Easy, I Want You Tonight,

Brand New Revolution: each album was a classic title.

Since 2013, he has concocted with his accomplice Mambo, the compilations Beach Diggin ', dedicated to the discovery of rare and sunny galettes.

Since hip hop broke into his life, somewhere in the 1980s, Guts has devoted all his time and energy to it. Chasing for him thousands of samples, spending nights in search of the perfect beat or the precisely set melody, the look directed towards the West, towards the Bronx.

So in 2014, after twenty-five years of unfailing devotion, he decided to magnify this music which, by the richness and quality of the sources used, made him the producer he is. This music that made it as curious as demanding and as open as refined. MPC under the arm, Guts went to record in New York Mecca, collaborating with Patrice or Coddy ChesnuTT, with legends Grand Puba or Masta Ace, but also, finding in the blind spots some more confidential artists like soul singer Lorine Chia , The duet of Mc's swift Tanya Morgan or the jazzman Leron Thomas. From these studio sessions was born "Hip Hop After All", album in the form of declaration of love and eternal thanks, stone brought by Guts to this musical cathedral at the same time as a call board to go even further ... For, Sweeping France and part of Europe with a live band to bring on stage his classics but also the shiny titles of Hip Hop After All (Open Wide, Man Funk, Want It Back ...) had consolidated it in an idea More than present in a corner of his head: make an album where the proportions 80% samples and programming / 20% live would be reversed.

An album where he would no longer be a groove-maker who programmed beats and played a scalpel in the grooves of vinyls, but the conductor of a collective where interaction and exchanges between members would become the mode of operation. An album to push even more his musical exploration, go towards the electro-funk, the afro-disco, the space jazz. Add singers here, from the talkbox there, play a monstrous bass line, a flaming sax solo or leave the instruments spinning alone for several minutes: Guts did not forbid anything, opened the studio doors wide, broke the Windows and unblocked the vents so that no inspiration or vibration stays out. Guts has enriched with Tanya Morgan and Lorine Chia his live band on the Hip Hop After All tour (Florian Pellissier on keyboards, Greg F. on guitar, Kenny Ruby on bass, Tibo Brandalise on drums, Leron Thomas, trumpet and vocals), and will reveal, on April 1, 2016, ETERNAL, this new record, partly already roamed on stage. And more than ever carried by the energy of the collective.
