Dimitri From Paris

“6 Mix celebrates the bank holiday weekend by inviting legendary purveyor of house and disco, Dimitri from Paris, onto the decks. The man behind the first ever house music show on French radio, Dimitri was actually born in Istanbul before moving to France as a child. During the 1980s he produced soundtracks for fashion houses such as Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier, and remixed the likes of Bjork, James Brown and New Order, before making his own grooves. He released his first solo album – ‘Sacrebleu’ – in 1996 and, since then, has gone on to compile albums of Philly funk and disco as well as re-edit artists including the Temptations and Steve Winwood. For his first 6 Mix in three years, Dimitri steps up to the decks to play a party set of 1970s disco nuggets and classic 1980s house tunes, alongside a selection of contemporary favourites from the likes of Tensnake and Hercules And Love Affair. There’s also the chance to hear some of the inspirations behind his latest ‘Knights of the Playboy Manson’ mix album.”

“When the name Dimitri From Paris comes up, the mind inevitably drifts to disco. But while that genre is undoubtedly his first love, Dimitri’s status in France was long attributed to his pioneering radio show in which he helped introduce house music to the country. Since then, he’s carved a fascinating artistic path, crafting red-hot house remixes, kitsch-laden artist albums and Playboy-approved mix compilations. The guiding principle—whether it’s remixing Chic or expressing wonderment at Tensnake’s recent output—has always been melody. As Dimitri prepares to helm his fourth Playboy mix, this time alongside old friend Bob Sinclar, we caught up with him in France to talk about all of the above and more.”
