Skatton Club “Live”

The Skatton Club is a Ska and Rocksteady Montreal group that was founded in 2010s, following a series of weekly “Dance Hall” shows in Montreal's Ska scene.

Led by veteran sax player, author, composer, performer André Désilets. Dédé as he is often referred to is a professional musician who has worked with just about everyone in the Quebec and International  scenes, from "Daniel Bélanger, Wesli, Mes Aïeux, Éric Lapointe,  Patrice Michaud,  The Wailers...” Dédé as everyone refers to him began his  Songwriter  career  with Malade Mantra who won the prestigious best songwriter prize at the Granby International Songwriters Festival in 2004.

Through the years, he slowly built and developed his solo project "Skatton Club". With the help of his friends who are ‘La crème de la crème’ of the Montreal musicians’ scene, they began performing covers. As the live band established themselves, Dédé was writing his own composition in the style of early Jamaican Ska - Rocksteady music from the sixties, giving new life to the style with French, English and instrumental compositions that keep igniting the Montreal nightclub scene during their frenzied performances. The music is Jazzy, Funky and danceable.

With their two demo recordings "Take one" 2012 and "Flo with the Skatton Club" 2017. They set in place several sync deals for these tracks on several television programs such as " OuiSurf" (2 seasons on Canal Évasion) and " Bouffe MTL " (1 season on Canal Vie). Skatton Club was being built little by little, with a refreshing and original identity, a killer horn section and an exciting solid rhythmic crew. Skatton Club's first official EP “Take One and A Half” was released on May 29th, 2020.

Skatton Club is preparing new material for their next full-length project Skaravan Steady that is set for release in the fall of 2025. They will support the album through extensive touring and showcasing at key industry events.
