No 08 DJ Magazine's 'Beats and Breaks' chart
No 17 DMC World Hip Hop chart
Having already been aired on a few Chocolate Fireguard compilations and according to some magazines literally stealing the show, Chocolate Fireguard release the hotly anticipated debut album 'Vu Du Large' from this amazing live seven piece French hip hop unit.
La Cedille (also known as a) 'bring together North African and French influences with hiphop and a brass section to create their very own sound' (Music Week). The album features two outstanding collaborations with The Bluefoot Project's diva Rachel Modest and a vinyl sampler is also available. 'Jazzmatic!' says IDJ magazine. Indeed!
La Cedille hail from Besanon in France. Their sound has been likened in the French media to that of The Roots and Opus Akhoben and have been described as "distinct and remarkable individuals who, in concert, become one innovative and explosive entity."
Despite their energetic stage show they have made a positive effort to distance themselves from the infighting and rivalry that has become part of the French hip-hop scene in recent years. Their message, which is reinforced by their lyrics, promotes unity and cohesion amongst hip-hop lovers, encouraging them to focus on the factors that are common to all in the greater human struggle!
Their songs reflect the African heritage of the band's two front men. The description of the meeting of these two cultures in the bands rapid fire hip-hop style yet smooth tones of the French language makes for a unique experience. The band haven't forgotten either their French heritage, with a distinctly jazzy feel to their songs which incorporate a brass-section featuring trombone and saxophone.
The band first came to the attention of Chocolate Fireguard when they played alongside label mates Kava Kava at a festival in Switzerland. The label arranged a few tours of the UK building up a strong awareness around La Cedille's unique sound. The band continue to play across France and Switzerland including a slot at Montreux Jazz Festival and Jay Dee supports at Le Divan du Monde, Paris. Top tune "Autonome" was featured on Chocolate Fireguard compilation "Taster...Sounds From The Funky Underground 2" ("Best Of British" BPI/Virgin Megastores USA) and
La Cedille finally signed an album deal with Chocolate Fireguard following an amazing performance at 2003's Glastonbury Festival.
In the first half of 2004 (and in association with the Timeless Music Project) La Cedille travelled to Huddersfield in the UK to record their debut album for Chocolate Fireguard.
Top tune 'Sous Titre' has already ended up on Chocolate Fireguard compilation 'Interesting Flavours' (also available here) and a special Music Week magazine CD sampler of French Music! 2005 certainly looks bright for La Cedille!
Tonnes of DJ and radio support including Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Excalibah. Daddy G, Laurent Garnier, LTJ Bukem, Russ Jones, AIM ..... no 8 DJ Mag's Beats and Breaks Chart, no 17 DMC World Hip Hop chart
Loads of press coming in ............
DMC UPDATE "picture the scene of a heist being carried out with Ocean Eleven's stylishness ... suave nonchalance avoiding the hustle and bustle"
BLOWBACK " .... at times it soars, at times it scats but whatever your mood La Cedille will move you and remove those language barriers..."
NOTION "......perfectly captures their own particular blend of jazzmatazz, loaded as it is with coffee shop couture cool, velveteen guitar licks and crisp lyrics..."
DJ MAG "Mingus' band jamming with Marley Marl whilst Vini Reilly can be heard jamming through the wall of the vocal booth. Fantastically heavy beats.... Formidable"
DADDY G ('Massive Attack' - Cannes Film Festival, Profile, Various - Worldwide) Quality - like this a lot. Love to see them live
MR SCRUFF (Keep It Unreal, Ninja Tune, Solid Steel, Various - Worldwide) Very good!
SIDEWINDER (Various, Radiomagnetic - Glasgow) Brilliant! How great that a label from Huddersfield are releasing really exciting French hip hop! Emprientes is brilliant.
