Bass Monkeys (Live) – When club sound meets traditional brass music
Bass Monkeys is an eleven-member music project where electronic bass music meets Mediterranean brass traditions.
The band unites two giants of the Italian music scene: The Sweet Life Society, an internationally acclaimed electro-swing collective known for their blend of vintage, hip-hop, Caribbean rhythms, and British bass music, and Ottoni Animati, an energetic brass band from Sicily.
Bass Monkeys represents energy, cultural roots, and the unifying power of music.

Bad Fat hip hop and boiling jazz vibes!
The French have a great tradition when it comes to mixing cultures and revolutionizing the world. So it‘s no surprise that the French Brass and hip hop crew Bad Fat is inspired by the swing of New Orleans Jazz, the musical variety of Don Cherry and the raw energy and political force of Public Enemy alike.
Again in collaboration with our friends from Face B Agency we’re very excited to bring this vibe onto the stages of your clubs and festival.
Boiling brass sounds, excellent flow and a show that combines highly energetic performance with a lot of fun and a scent of irony. If you’re into bands like Meute or the New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Bad Fat will be you new favourite!
Bad Fat are available as a band with six amazing musicians and one or MCs: permanent member MC Jay Ree (Zenzile, City Kay) and/or American rapper / beatboxer / showman Napoleon Maddox.
