finetune artist: Bob Sinclar

b. Christophe Le Friant, 1967, Paris, France. Le Friant is a pivotal figure on the influential Parisian dance music scene, particularly as head of the noted label, Yellow Productions. Bob Sinclar is Le Friant's recording and production alter-ego but he is also known as Chris The French Kiss (possibly after Lil' Louis' house classic) and has recorded extensively as the Mighty Bop and Rminiscence Quartet. The name Bob Sinclar is taken from a character in the French movie, Le Magnifique. Sinclar is a flare-wearing creation, immersed in late 70s and early 80s disco culture. Le Friant grew up in the vibrant gay area of Paris, Le Marais, and became heavily involved in the club scene during the 80s. In 1993, Le Friant released a white label single, entitled "Mathar", a funky reworking of a 70s track by Dave Pike. Virgin Records in France picked up the track and re-released it as "Indian Vibes". The single was produced by the Young Disciples' Brendan Lynch and featured Paul Weller on guitar and Marco Nelson on bass. It appeared with five mixes and was a huge club hit. Le Friant indulged his interests in Latin jazz music on the vinyl compilations, Quelque Chose De Jazz (Acts 1 + 2) and Bossa Tres Jazz. As Chris The French Kiss, he collaborated with Cutee B on A Finest Fusion Of Black Tempo that featured guest rappers Fabe, East and Cut Killer.
