Badjoke

HipHop, Ragga, Electro / France

Ähnlich wie Alif Sound System werfen BADJOKE diverse Stilrichtungen zusammen und bringen eine sehr druckvolle Melange aus Reggae, Ragga, HipHop, Rock und Drum'n Bass auf die Bühne. Die fünf Musiker (Schlagzeug, Bass, Gitarre, Programming + 2x Gesang) aus Rouen an der Westküste Frankreichs werden gerne mit Asian Dub Foundation, Missy Elliot oder Prodigy verglichen. Am besten ließe sich aber ihr Stil als Electro-HipHop mit Reggae-Flavour beschreiben.

The French stage has always gathered a great collection of exceptional artists, either in the music mould or not. The French band BAD JOKE belongs to those who have chosen to stray off the beaten tracks. For more than ten years now, they have kept stewing their magic recipe of energetic, eclectic and innovative hybrid music that turns heads and gets the fans going. They have managed to reconcile different genres. Their latest album called “Alchimie” is indeed the alchemy of a wide range of musical influences. The “bad jokers”’ music is hybrid music. Ingredients: their distinctive sound is a mix of hip hop, ragga, rock, dub, techno, drum’n’bass and electro. Their music is therefore a perfect concentrate of energy and musical open-mindedness, an effective musical salad bowl difficult to concoct. But they did it! Bad Joke’s second album confirms the band’s identity and difference on the new French stage.
