    "It's the real deal, an original album full of heavyweight grooves and
    instant down tempo classics." - URB MAGAZINE

    "Doubts and Convictions" is a gorgeous montage of cocksure electronica,
    elegant funk licks and John Barry strings. Deftly flowing
    cuts like "Too Old to Die" and "Black City" are everything the last
    St.Germain album promised and more." - MUZIK MAGAZINE

    The Troublemakers Bio

    Guidance Recordings in association with the Hi-Fidelity Lounge series
    proudly present the release of "Doubts and Convictions" the
    groundbreaking debut album from the Troublemakers. The Marseille
    based trio consisting of Fred Berthet, Arnaud Taillefer and DJ Oil
    are the latest in the long line of talented and genre defying bands
    to emerge from the ever fertile French electronic scene. Brought
    together by their shared appreciation of 60's and 70's jazz, funk and
    film soundtracks, the Troublemakers spent nearly two years in the
    studio translating the vibes, energy and attitude of this era into a
    modern musical context. The fruits of their labor are manifested on
    this stunning long player for Guidance. "Doubts and Convictions" is
    a thought provoking montage of soulful electronic rhythms brought to
    life by funky jazz horns, exquisite guitar arrangements, warm fender
    rhodes vibes, vibrant percussion splashes and colorful cinematic
    interludes. The result is a captivating concept album that infuses
    trip hop, house, jazz, funk, soul, bossa and afro beats with a
    healthy dose of French film noir attitude. Imagine what what would
    happen if Air went into the recording studio with the Thievery
    Corporation after injesting a few too many martinis and you get the
    picture!
