L'Entourloop

About

L'Entourloop doesn't just play music; they orchestrate a sonic spectacle, a vintage-tinged time warp fueled by the echoes of Kingston, the grit of Marseille, and the swagger of hip-hop. This mysterious French collective, fronted by the enigmatic Grandmasters Sir James and MC Troy, blends a potent cocktail of reggae, dub, ska, and hip-hop, all stitched together with samples from classic cinema and forgotten corners of pop culture. Emerging from the shadows of Saint-Étienne, France, they exploded onto the scene with their intricate beatmaking and signature vintage aesthetic. Their debut album, "Chickens in Your Town" (2015), announced their arrival, quickly cementing their reputation for infectious grooves and exhilarating live performances. L'Entourloop's sound isn't just nostalgic; it's innovative. They skillfully weave classic riddims with contemporary beats, creating a genre-bending experience that appeals to both old-school reggae heads and modern hip-hop enthusiasts. The collective has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Skarra Mucci, Panda Dub, and Biga Ranx, further expanding their sonic palette. With their signature blend of French flair and Jamaican vibes, L'Entourloop continues to tour extensively, bringing their unique brand of retro-futuristic sound system culture to audiences worldwide. Their recent releases continue to push boundaries, solidifying their place as pioneers in the global reggae-dub scene.
