About General Elektriks

General Elektriks is the musical alter ego of Hervé Salters, a Paris-born multi-instrumentalist renowned for his distinctive fusion of electro, jazz, and funk. Beginning his musical journey at just 14, Salters honed his skills playing keyboards and synthesizers with bands across London and Paris. His mastery of vintage keyboard instruments—such as the Clavinet, Wurlitzer, Hammond B-3, and notably the Fender Rhodes—became a hallmark of his sound, blending warm analog tones with modern production techniques.

Between 2000 and 2003, General Elektriks crafted his debut album, "Cliquety Kliqk" (2003), recording in diverse locales including Seattle, Paris, and Berkeley. The album features collaborations with underground hip-hop and funk artists like the Maroons and Lateef the Truth Speaker, with mixing handled by Chief Xcel of Blackalicious, which helped propel Salters into international recognition. Prior to this, his keyboard work contributed to Femi Kuti’s influential Afrobeat album "Shoki Shoki" (1999) and projects with Quannum Records affiliates such as Lyrics Born and the Lifesavas, cementing his ties to both the European and American music scenes.

General Elektriks continues to carve out a unique niche by seamlessly integrating vintage keyboard textures with contemporary beats. His inventive sound merges eclectic influences, securing his place as a fresh voice within the electronic jazz-funk landscape and earning widespread acclaim for his innovative collaborations and genre-blurring artistry.
