Oui 3



Oui 3
 

Group Members:
Blair Booth, Trevor Mile, Phil Erb


Oui 3 are an English/American/Swiss band who primarily produce dance music. The band is best known for their songs "Break From The Old Routine" (which reached number 17 in the UK singles chart in July 1993) and "The Joy Of Living" as well as their Buffalo Springfield-sampling 1993 hit "For What It's Worth" (which reached number 26 in October 1993).

An amalgamation of three different continents, its amazing this London based threesome ever met up.

Vocalist Blair Booth and technician Philipp Erb fled their home countries America and Switzerland in search of a creative haven in London. Enter Ladbroke Grove based rapper, lyricist and thinker Trevor Miles. The band burst into the charts and the publics hearts with their wonderful debut single, an adaptation of Buffalo Springfield's 'For What Its Worth' which found the original's message of galvanising the forces of political change just as relevant in the new millenium as when Stephen Stills first penned it.

Their debut album, 'Oui Love You', can only be hailed as a feast of melodic beats and sly humour, that gets you to stop, listen and think to the music. It is a striking collection of glorious multi-faceted summer pop moments. Forget that it was recorded in deepest Kensal Rise in mid winter. This is the hazy psychedelic summer sound of the sixties swinging in perfect hip-hop beat with cosmopolitan vibe of London, stopping on the way to pick up textures, moods and modes from funk, dub, soul and, of course, classic pop.

With the assistance of some of the biggest names from all spheres of music - Youth, Jah Wobble, Louie Vega (the hip-hop maestro famed for his work with Naughty by Nature and Queen Latifah), and the rhythm sections of both Galliano and The Brand New Heavies - 'Oui Love You' displays a love of life.

Tops down, shades on, windows open, the first breath of sweet soulful summer. Oui 3 love you, of course. And now its time to return it. With chocolates, bouquets and plaudits.
