Album Description
Vikter Duplaix is a phenomenon. With futuristic visions of sound and a sense for musical traditions, the producer, singer and DJ from Philadelphia is bridging gaps like none other. Duplaix musically blends an optimism for the future with the wisdom of the past. He mixes this together into any kind of groove music, handling his heavy task relaxed, laid back - the easy way. No doubt, the future belongs to Vikter Duplaix. With his new collection Singles - Prelude to the Future, Vikter Duplaix presents obscure b-sides, remixes and rarities that represent a unique sound. Vikter Duplaix strolls between luscious pop, hot R&B, elegant chill out sounds and a never ending groove. His heart beats a breakbeat rhythm: nested, syncopated, complex but with the simplicity of the Afro American tradition, which Duplaix, as a percussionist has inhaled deeply. The sound of Vikter Duplaix is of flesh and blood. "Sensuality" is the magic word: While his rhythmic patterns are abstract, there is no cyborg dancing here as is fashionable amongst the standardised industrially produced R&B. When the future sounds like Vikter Duplaix, there's a reason to dance into the tomorrow.

 Future Soul Brilliance! January 25, 2007
The other reviewer "startracks" would have you believe my boy Vikter Duplaix can't sing. Um, not the case. The songs are hardly corny. I'm sure there are 800 R&B albums out there which are a million times more cornball this is! This album (of B-Sides, mind you) shatters status quos.
The track "Galaxy" is a canidate for one of the best electronic R&B songs I've ever heard. If you like this album check out Vikter's hard to find single "Paper Chase" with Clara Hill and also the highly underrated A Race of Angels EP for some true future soul. Great stuff from a musical genius!
 Don't Sing Vikter... Please Don't Sing! May 12, 2004

Vikter is an extremly talented producer with an special ear for sounds, drum patterns and harmonics... Only Vikter can't hear himslef sing. To add... the content of his songs are so corny like "Come dance with me and see what it's like on the other side of the universe" and "I wanna know what you look like in the dark" Huh...??? Let's be for real... Vikter's lyrics are supremely corny with a capital "C"... But the beats are hot!

Mr. Duplaix has what you want! As a fan for almost 2 years, this compilation of his best work has temporarily but thoroughly satisfied my need of new material from this genius.
