DIMITRI FROM PARIS and his brother in crime DJ ROCCA come back to Gomma with a new 3 track EP. His fourth release on Gomma. For those who are too young to know: Dimitri is a legend! You can put him in a row with old school wildstyle disco heroes like DJ Harvey, Baldelli or Francois K.

He has been doing consistently good music over the last 20 years. From his „A Night at the Playboy Mansion“ compilations to his own tracks, his always inspiring DJ sets and most of all: his never disappointing edits: his rework of Prince: „I Wanna Be Your Lover“ must be one of the most hammered edits of the last 10 years.

Dimitri comes from the Parisian school of Disco. He first appeared to the bigger public with his debut album „Sacrebleu“ in 1996. Coming along with the first French house wave (St.Germain, Super Discount, Daft Punk…) – he quickly became a worldwide respected DJ with a very own personal touch. He officially remixed artists like Bjork, New Order, Chic and even – officially – Michael Jackson. In 2005 he produced the album “Super Pop Venezuela“ for Los Amigos Invisibles which grabbed a nomination for a Grammy Award.
Let’s put it like this: Probably there is not one DJ with taste that hasn’t got his personal favorite Dimitri From Paris track in his bag.

Some years ago Dimitri teamed up with Italian producer, DJ and man of many talents DJ Rocca. Rocca might be known to many for his work as Ajello and Crimea X. Among the many names he produced music for he also made tracks with cosmic disco innovator DJ Baldelli. When Rocca and Dimitri are in the studio together, they somehow have a magic touch. Simple, yet effective, heavy disco influenced but never retro sounding little pearls they produce.
Glamorous as ever. Nasty as always.

Having just released the “Erodiscotique EP 2″, Dimitri From Paris and his buddy DJ Rocca come back with the second strike: “The Edit Battle”.

They asked some friends to make freestyle edits of their songs. Domenico Torti, Funkafilia, The BladeRunners, and Latin Raz Kaz reworked the track “A Reason For Living” from the first EP “I Love New York” and created some completely new versions. Functionable, funky and fucked up. If you remember Domenico Torti’s well-known edit for Daft Punk’s “Voyager” a few years back, you can imagine what expects you here.

This is a free download for all buyers of the new 12″ “Erodiscotique EP 2″, available now in record stores and digitally on Beatport. Or for sale as a separate digital release.

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.

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…
