Dimitri From Paris

Yes, after a week's hiatus the spotlight returns! Oh and this week's artist is sure to satisfy that musical appetite of yours. He was born in Istanbul, Turkey, but would grow up in France (hence the "From Paris"). As a 70s child, he would "cut and paste" samples from disco songs heard on the radio and would create tapes ("Dimitri From Paris: BBE"). A decade later, he'd be the DJ, working for popular radio stations in France. Then, in the 90s he would record soundtracks, remixes, and finally in 1996 his debut album, "Sacrebleu." "Sacrebleu" achieved international success selling several hundred thousand copies and was named "Album of The Year" by UK Magazine, Mixmag. Sacrebleu is actually a french curse by the way. Recalling his childhood, his music caries a strong disco and funk influence, mixed with contemporary electronic styles like downtempo and house, he is sometimes referred to as "The French Ambassador of House Music (Dimitri From Paris Discography)." But, some of his tracks carry a heavy influence from 50s/60s jazz, just listen to the links below...
