Giving credit where it’s due, I just heard this on one of my favorite music blogs, Aurgasm.us.
Benjamin Duterde (aka Ben L’Oncle Soul (‘Ben the Soul Uncle’)), is a French nu-soul singer from the town of Tours. His cover of White Stripe’s Seven Nation Army was included in his ep, “Soul Wash” EP, which was released in 2009.
Graffiti6 – Annie You Saved Me

Oddly fun track taken from his 2009 release entitled, “Good City for Dreamers“. A bit of soul, a bit of funk and of course as the name suggests, some solid electronics.
General Elektricks – Little Lady
BIO:
General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters. A French national and keen vintage keyboard player, he initiated GE just before moving to San Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and a SM-57 mike, he started sewing together loops, Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital tweaking. GE became a musical journal that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back down to the Bay Area, Berkeley, where he currently resides. There, he started laying keys down for the Quannum crew. Quannums own Lateef The Truth Speaker and Chief Xcel returned the favor by guesting on GE. Consisting of 12 songs from the journal, Cliquety Kliqk was first released in France by Bleu Electric, then picked up by Compost for Europe and by Quannum for the US.
