Where does JESTOFUNK come from :
Since the beginning, the project Jestofunk started with an International view. The first single, "I'm gonna love you" (1992) received great feedback from the Dj's, especially in the UK and US. The originality of the sound immediately became the trade mark of the band. With the second single, "Say it again" (1993), starts the collaboration with Ce Ce Rogers, one of the most prestigious voices of the House scene in the US, the single was licensed in different countries in Europe, and specially in France became a great hit climbing the top of the charts. The following year (1994), the third single, was released featuring once again the powerful voice of Ce Ce Rogers, followed few months later by the release of their first album "Love in a Black Dimention". In 1999 CeCe Rogers decided to leave Jestofunk and start his own project called CeCe Roger's Nuphunk.

The Music of JESTOFUNK :
The Groove is a perfect example of a fusion between the DJ style and the live instrumentation, connected with the Afroamerican side of contemporary music. Jestofunk arrives to this second album after a six years itinerary through Jazz, Funk, Soul and the most experimental sounds generated for the Dancefloor. Their music theorizes a Universal language without boundaries, going back and forth from the most hypnotic atmospheres to the contemporary sound.

"Love In A Black Dimention"
An irresistible mix of Funk, Soul, R&B and House music. Very special guests are featured on the album : Fred Wesley, from the JB's, James Brown sidekicks and Ce Ce Rogers.
