Sun-drenched vintage soul and high-stepping funk that feels like a lost 1970s master tape. Warm, organic, and built for the dance floor.
Mr President delivers a sound that is unapologetically celebratory, channeling the golden era of soul and funk with such precision you would swear it was recorded in 1974. The music is defined by its impeccable groove, featuring tight rhythm sections, punchy brass arrangements, and a warmth that only comes from deep analog obsession. It is the sound of a perpetual summer afternoon where the energy is high and the style is effortless.
What makes this project distinctive is the craftsmanship of multi-instrumentalist Bruno Patchworks Hovart. Unlike many modern retro-soul acts that rely on irony or lo-fi gimmicks, Mr President focuses on the sheer technical excellence of the era. The bass lines are melodic and driving, the vocal harmonies are stacked with church-trained precision, and the production avoids digital sterility in favor of rich, saturated textures that feel alive and breathing.
Start with the album Hips Shaking to experience the project at its most kinetic. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the sophisticated arrangements of Motown or the raw grit of Stax but wants a contemporary perspective on those classic foundations. It is music that demands movement and rewards close listening to its intricate, hand-played layers.
