Nice is the second record of Micael Ricar. Micheal is taking the listener with his sound into a journey through the French south coast and the Cote d’Azur. Therefore, Nice does adapt the charm and flair of French coast in a lovely but always strongly independent style. The extraordinary mix of the French Chansons with electronic vintage beats and sounds, combined with some jazz elements, characterizes this concept album. Due to the fact that Zofka is very confident in each of those musical jargons, the result is an incredible high level soundmix.
In that constellation, the success was not missing. The first single release of the album Nice, it was “Tu ne I’aimes pas”, got a high reputation in Europe and lots of regular airplays in Switzerland and Germany. Together with the CD-Album and single, a vinyl-single has been produced as well. No one less than the Swiss star producer “Minus 8” did remix “L’automobile” which was released in May `02. As a sign that Zofka is highly to recommend, lots of other Labels used different songs for their Compilations. Here are just a few examples:
French Connection 1 & 2, Le noel abstrait, Godivas, A pleasure experience, Chill House, Chill Out Sofabeats, Grooves & Vibes, Flooristik...
