After Metropolitan Jazz Affair, The Dynamics and Mr President, master of musical ubiquity Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart proudly presents Uptown Funk Empire, a burning tribute to one of his all time greatest loves : Funk. Bruno Hovart first releases are in the mid 90’s with deep house, disco live bands and various electronic projects. He quickly develops and shows very spezial skills for vintage disco/funk productions with artists such as Amp Fiddler, Archie Shepp, Mr Day, Paul Randolph ... and for many recording labels such as Favorite Recordings (UK), Infracom (Germany), Further Out (UK) ...Uptown Funk Empire is an exciting and ambitious project, worthly of ist name. While the first album is simply named „The Empire Strikes Back“, it’s not a joke ... Forget the whole revival thing, this sounds like an actual rebirth of the real funky stuff. It’s like being back to the better days of Funk without a travel machine ! The vibe is vintage but the sound is fresh ... That’s not funky music, that’s FUNKY MUSIC ! This album is huge and it covers all the golden age Groove styles : Boogaloo, Soul, Disco, Boogie, Funk ... but the music flows in the handsof a gifted modern producer. Bruno „Patchwork“ Hovart plays bass, keyborads, computers ... handling with love all composition, programming, arrangements, vocals. With brillant vocal featurings by silky Juan Rozoff, Brit-Soul legend Noel Mc Koy at his best, high voltage divas Ange & Janice ... and the funky soul brother Bruno Hovart himself on the mic ... it’s pure funkiness ! Beware, The Empite Strikes Back and his kicking ... so get up and dance !
