In this show we go to France with the Disco wonder that is Dimitri From Paris.
Containing Dimitri's Reworked tracks by Sister Sledge, Chic, Loleatta Holloway and Inner Life to name but a few plus a bunch of his choice edits you may have not heard before.
Here is an article by Resident Advisor that describes the man perfectly:
"Because of what he describes as a lack of dance remixers in France, his career in radio led to his being asked to rework tracks for various artists, among them Björk, New Order, and the Brand New Heavies. Along the way he was hired by chic fashion designers like Chanel, Gaultier, and Lagerfeld to put together soundtracks for runway shows and boutiques.
'What happened was that I started DJing and then there were more and more tools -- technical tools -- available to us DJs that would allow us to make more creative things and eventually to make our own music without actually knowing how to play a particular instrument. With the advent of samplers and other machines at a budget that made them accessible in the mid '80s, we started making our own tracks. I was also learning the process of how a track is constructed by doing remixes for people. Finally, I was able to produce my own tracks.'"
To showcase this fantastic French talent the special mix covers a number of his finest edits.
Enjoy the Groove folks.
