Cinq albums existent à ce jour (Stardown en 2005, Hopeful en 2007,Play en 2010, live in Paris en 2012 et Home en 2013), chacun ayant accueilli de nombreux invités parmi lesquels Christophe Panzani et Philippe Sellam (saxophones), Guillaume Poncelet, Flavio Boltro et Jean-François Baud (trompette), Didier Lockwood (violon), Cynthia Saint-Ville, IMO, Crystal et HKB FiNN (chant), Julien Birot (guitare), Ben l'Oncle Soul (chant)...
Voilà quinze ans qu’Electro Deluxe prouve que le funk made in France n’est ni une aberration, ni une vague copie de celui des maîtres d’outre-Atlantique… Sans chercher à réinventer la roue et en gardant l’essence et l’ADN du genre, ce gang bouillant aligne des compositions imparables et un savoir-faire dont l’unique objectif est d’enflammer les corps. Porté par la voix du charismatique James Copley, Circle fait un peu plus grandir l’art de ces ambassadeurs du groove. Un art interprété avec une vraie perfection par Arnaud Renaville à la batterie, Jérémie Coke à la basse, Thomas Faure au sax, Gael Cadoux aux claviers, Vincent Payen à la trompette et Bertrand Luzignant au trombone.
A wolf in sheep's clothing. Six of the most sought-after musicians on the french musical scene. Since 2001, Electro Deluxe have evolved from their early electro-jazz sound to a energetic cocktail of dirty soul & funk with a touch of class.
After ten years of criss-crossing the globe (China, India, Canada, Mexico, Europe) and performing at some of the most prestigious festivals (Montréal Jazz Festival, Jazz à Vienne, Cervantino, Solidays), Electro Deluxe celebrate their tenth anniversary with the release of the double album Live in Paris, recorded with the full artillery of their Big Band.
A reservoir of musical talent, and inspired by the mythical “Funk Brothers” of Motown lore, Electro Deluxe work as studio musicians for among others, Universal & Motown recording artists, Ben Oncle Soul and Hocus Pocus, who have equally participated on our records.
At the heart of the groove scene and with the ability to cross-over into other genres, Electro Deluxe have enjoyed modest success in their hometown of Paris, France, with each of their last 2 albums topping the jazz charts in France while performing entirely in English.
More Deluxe than Electro, and not bound to any one musical reference, they continue to push the boundaries of their music.
Members of Electro Deluxe include:
Arnaud Renaville: drums
Jérémie Coke: bass
Thomas Faure: saxophone
Vincent Payen: trumpet
James Copley: vocals
Gael Cadoux: keyboards
Keep My Baby Dancing
Electro Deluxe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep my baby dancing
Young blood is warm
It knows not the time
It's a state of mind
On test a whim imagination you will find
The way you walk and talk
I really like your groove
Now my old tune's so old school
Keep my baby dancing
You don't have my hey
You're jamming with met
Keep my baby dancing
With your smile real wide
And you glass of high
Keep my baby dancing
Your dream turns my away
Keep my baby dancing
Your groove will build my love
Keep my baby dancing
You took a chance to step my way
Had to break my game
The day you came into my life
I'll never forget the day
Never forget the day
I was fifteen when I met you, hi
The way you walk and talk
I really like your groove
You took this old crack out of school
Keep my baby dancing
You don't have my hey
You're jamming with me
Keep my baby dancing
With your smile real wide
And you glass of high
Keep my baby dancing
Your dream turns my away
All my life
For the umpteenth time
Your dance is all that I want
Umpteenth time
Your dance is my vow, my vow...
Umpteenth time we dance, yeah
Keep my baby dancing
We're gonna slide it to the left
And slide it to the right
Everybody rocking we're feeling alright
Keep my baby dancing
And if your baby knows just how to groove
Well come on Jimmy gotta bust the groove
Keep my baby dancing
And everybody to the left
A-ha-ha gotta rocking and to keep your body correct
And if we're dancing all night we're feeling alright
You keep your baby dancing until the early morning light
Bring it back! Turn it around! Come on!
Ooh, Haha
Hey,
Gotta, hold on, hold on Julian, don't put in anything
Keep my baby dancing (...)
The song "Keep My Baby Dancing" by Electro Deluxe is a fun and upbeat track that celebrates the joy and excitement of dancing. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for the past (the singer refers to being fifteen when they met their partner) but also focus on the present, with a call to keep the party going all night long. The repeated refrain of "keep my baby dancing" is a reminder to the listener to not take themselves too seriously and just enjoy the moment.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the vocalist describes the state of mind that comes with being young and imaginative. They reminisce about meeting their partner and being drawn to their groove and style. The chorus reinforces the idea that dancing and having fun is what really matters, and that as long as their partner is grooving along, everything else will be alright.
The bridge section shifts the focus to the experience of dancing itself, with the repeated phrase "Umpteenth time" emphasizing the timeless nature of the joy and happiness that comes from moving your body to music. The final section of the song is a call and response between the singer and the listener, urging everyone to join in on the dance floor and keep the energy high.

I saw Electro Deluxe perform at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal in the early 2000s They performed in Place des Arts in a free concert. One of the best performances I have seen at this festival, ever, including the big headliner acts. Electro Deluxe has the WOW factor!

Le soucis avec vous messieurs, c'est que si on voit une seule fois un concert, on ne peut plus s'en passer ensuite ;-)
Musique addictive d'un excellent groupe... à voir, écouter.... sans modération !
