SHOWCASE

Riddim Shot est un groupe de reggae formé en juillet 2017, et basé sur Toulouse. Leur nom est un jeu de mot entre “Rim Shot” et “Riddim”, deux termes très connus dans l'industrie du reggae.
Le groupe est composé de Leslie J à la basse et au chant, ainsi que de William à la guitare. Pour nous accompagner nous travaillons avec plusieurs batteurs : Manu Flotem, Frank Céleste, Francis Dagnet, et Noël Halley.
Notre style est un dérivé de nos artistes reggae préférés que sont Steel Pulse, Dezarie, Third World, Toots and the maytals, parmi tant d'autres. La fusion de différents genres nous a permis d'adapter notre style pour apporter un doux mix entre pop, soul, blues, jazz, et funk sur une base de roots reggae avec du one-drop, des lignes de basse roots et du skank.
Leslie J est originaire de l'Ile de la Réunion, et a commencé la basse il y a 8 ans. William a plus de 30 années d'expérience dans la musique antillaise et afro. Le Reggae était pour nous le style de musique avec lequel nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite à l'aise. Leslie J a chanté du gospel chez "Gospel Walk" pendant 2 ans et a joué de la musique latine, Cumbia, Tango avec Alumine Guerrero et a eu l'opportunité d'enregistrer en studio sur une mazurka.
Influences : Abbyssinians, Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse, Dezarie and Bob Marley.
FRANÇAIS
Riddim Shot is a reggae band which formed in July 2017, we are based in Toulouse in France. The name of the band was formed from a word game between the words “Rim Shot” and “Riddim” which as you know is well known within the reggae industry.
The band consists of Leslie J who plays bass and is also the singer, William who plays the guitar. We have a rota of drummers who we perform with Manu Flotem, Frank Celeste, Francis Dagnet, and Noël Halley.
Our style derives from listening to our favourite reggae artists Steel Pulse, Dezarie, Third World, Toots and the maytals, to name a few. With a fusion of different genres we have been able to adapt our styles to bring a gentle mix of pop, soul, blues, jazz, funk on a roots reggae twist, providing "one drop" drumming, roots bass line and skank.
Leslie J originally came from Reunion Island (near Mauritius, and began playing bass 8 years ago). William has 30 years of experience playing west indian and afro music. Reggae seemed to be the style we felt automatically at ease with together. Leslie J sung in a gospel choir "Gospel Walk" for 2 years and also played Latino, Cumbia, Tango with Alumine Guerrero and had the opportunity to perform a mazurka (a music style from the west indies) in studio recording.
Influences : Abbyssinians, Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse, Dezarie and Bob Marley.
