/////KELTON PRIMA (Toulouse - FR)
Originating from Paris, France, Malcolm D. starts making music in the late 80’s as a member of a demo band called Future Minds, using only an Atari ST and later a Commodore Amiga to produce music. He then continues on his musical journey when attending in the early 90’s to the first underground rave parties throughout the French capital. Deeply into house and techno at that time, he is immediately hooked on the raw and fresh music played and decides to take part in the action. In 98’ he gets professionally involved in music distribution and retail, and establishes himself in the South of France, where he will meet and collaborate with several artists, such as French Dj and Producer Pilooski, with whom he will work on various projects during a few years. At that time Malcolm D. also joins the team behind the famous French web radio and online musical magazine called Soundicate. During this period, he produces experimental music under his D_Tekt moniker, influenced by labels such as Chicago IDM label Chocolate Industries and the Miami-based Beta Bodega, and is an active member of the Inkorporation, a French collective of DJ’s and VJ’s performing in Europe, USA, and China. However, 2005 sees the end of Inkorporation, and Malcolm D. decides to take a break from the musical scene, but not completely, as he begins to work on video and multimedia installations with various contemporary artists such as the French photographer Lionel Bayol-Themines or the E/I collective. Now, after a couple of silent years, he returns as Kelton Prima, the almighty funk Pharaoh, and delivers a very promising 12“ on Disco Praline, “The Arrival EP“, showcasing his talent through 4 burning pieces of modernaire funk, specially crafted for the dance floor.
