Last January, « 2001: A space odyssey » deafening white light, of a moribund « Who’s Next », last day, last hours, not so many people.

I follow the SMDB’s producer Nadine, in different paths of the fair of the youth’s fashion ultimate trends . Most of the stands are kept by « tired » thirties-forties years old, looking like bling bling younger brothers forever. So what about the SMDB ? Now, I still haven’t got any idea. We are walking quickly between colorful trademarks, looking for the dancers (serial shoppers too).

We found the boys and a not quiet spot to start the interview. Three nice teens (18-19 years old) that move a lot their arms on Tektonik… Sacrilege : not Tektonik ! Tektonik is the registered name of a party. I’m learning. So three young people that convulse on a techno dance floor : nothing really new say older brothers ! Ok Ok, could you imagine their little U Tube video was watched by more than four millions people : it’s worth an interview, isn’t it ? A slap to the older brothers !

During Bayonnes celebrations, Jack Herror, Spoke et Maestro discover « the electro music, for fun ». They enjoy « the music first » and in club : « they free arms and invent steps ». Then they create the « Milky Way » : each one invents his own choreography, according to his own personality. Free style. I add : according to his stamina and suppleness ! Because our three « wanna be stars» dancers are sportsmen first :  an acrobat and a football and a skater. And after taking dance courses, they make the choreography of the last Lorie’s video (a successful singer for chidren and early teenagers). Don’t laugh, kids love it . And I inform me and master few arms movements. I apply their « we don’t dance, we are the dance » motto. Respect ! But this is my absolutely exclusive privacy between my mirror and I !

Many events : right now in Japan they are shooting their music promo, then a European tour, a DVD and a mini album produced by musicians. Where they do voices and bring their different music influences : Rock sixties-seventies for Maestro, minimalist Jazz electro for Jack Herror and « Moon Walk » Hip Hop for Spoke. Fine: I said all ! A planning full of dance, sweat, improbable T-shirts trademarks (I’ll make you discover), girly fans and fluorescent techno kids ! And do you think they realize their success ? « We don’t realize. That’s weird ». Please don’t change boys !
