General Elektriks is the brainchild of French keyboardist, composer, and producer Hervé Salters. Having started the project in the early 2000s, Salters, who is also known simply as RV, moved to San Francisco, injecting his music with the diverse influences that such a cultural melting pot could offer. The sound of General Elektriks blends electronic music with funk, jazz, and hip-hop elements, characterized by an innovative use of vintage keyboards and synthesizers. Salters’ fluency in musical technology pairs with a deep-seated groove, giving General Elektriks a distinctively lively and eclectic sound that transcends borders and genres.

Throughout his career with General Elektriks, Salters has produced a steady stream of critically acclaimed albums and EPs, demonstrating his prowess in intertwining catchy melodies with complex musical textures. The releases like "Party Like a Human" and the "Late Delivery - EP" showcase the project's versatility, melding funky beats with a contemporary edge that resonates with fans of electro-funk and experimental pop. As the mastermind behind the project, Salters has collaborated with various artists and toured extensively, bringing the vibrant General Elektriks experience to audiences around the world with his dynamic live performances.
