Today is the day! Legendary Dimitri from Paris is back with an own E.P. Not disco, not house, but a late 80ies/ early 90ies inspired sound that combines boogie, hip house and NY dance pop. Featuring another legend on the mic: Italohouse crooner Fred Ventura.

Dimitri is the man who pioneered house music in France, who influenced all the big names of the French scene from the 90ies and from today. From Daft Punk to Justice. He is the man who released crazy compilations on BBE, Defected etc. The man who always has been ahead of it’s time. He teamed up with Italian producer DJ Rocca and created an E.P. for Gomma. A record that shows how the sound of 2012 could be. . This EP is released today on Gomma on Vinyl and digitally. And has a huge buzz already.

Danny Krivit: “I like it”
Tommie Sunshine: “Your Gomma release is bananas!!!”
Soul Clap: “This is amazing, total 90’s revival.. Can’t wait to play”
Mike Monday: “LOVE THIS!!!! Red hot…”

Everybody has been talking about the new wave of french sound. But nobody has been mentioning that there is one guy who was the pioneer of electronic dance music in France and influenced all of France’s dance stars. From Cassius to Justice, from Daft Punk to Gilbert. This man is Dimitri From Paris. The guy who brought house music to France in the late 80ies. He later became world-famous for his crate digger compilations on BBE, Defected and other labels.

Now, after many years Dimitri is back. He recorded some ultra fresh music with Italian producer DJ Rocca. For Gomma. We’re not talking about another boring house record. And no noise-techno of course. Dimitri comes back with an late 80ies / early 90ies Boogie/ Hip House record that will blow your mind. To be released on Gomma on 15.April. Here is a little teaser…

Here comes maybe the hottest video Gomma ever had: Munk “Rue de Rome”.
A sex & crime short movie by upcoming french directors Doublezero.
(Part of Partyzan Crew from Paris – the production company of Michel Gondry, Mr.Oizo and Gaspar Noé)

The song (and video) is a tribute to Marseille. The dirty south french Port city where Mathias from Munk lives part time. The actors are 2 french professional actors, but in the end… surprise… But see for yourself..

The single Rue de Rome has been released on 1st April 2011 including remixes by Black Strobe, Mickey Moonlight, Cécile, etc.

Taken from the single “Hellabuster / Choco Pudding”.
