Contrées sonores 005 : Pós-festa de Carnaval, Rio de Janeiro, 1973

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. With the 'Shikaago' mix series, @thomas-log DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 pay homage to the classic house sound, which emerged from the Windy City in the early 1980's. Groove conveyed by repertoire old and new.

This one is quite eclectic, with hints of brazil, afro, disco and deep house, while underpinned by that classic Chicago vibe. Enjoy...

DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 : Shikaago 003

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. With the 'Shikaago' mix series, @thomas-log DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 pay homage to the classic house sound, which emerged from the Windy City in the early 1980's. Repertoire old and new.

In this fourth outing, Ami 8 takes the mix series to the Ukrainian coastal city of Odessa. DJ French Thomas and I were supposed to mix this together, but at the last minute, he abandoned me for more pressing engagements in Mykonos. Not only did I have to show the two lovely ladies in the photo around, by myself (and put up with their fighting), I also had to mix this installment solo. Bugger! :) 

Enjoy the classic Chicago sound, which evolves into filthy melodic bigroom house, and resolves with dark driving afterhours prog, reminiscent of Bedrock Records and Global Underground!! Bonne écoute, les ami.e.s.

DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 : Cuite estivale à La Havane, Cuba, 1990

An evening stroll downtown Chicago after a long week at work... Summer breeze flowing and classic, sunsoaked, atmospheric vibes pumping through the headphones. Getting ready for a night at the club with friends... probably at Smartbar. Good vibes only.

@dj-french-thomas DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 present the long lost mix in the Shikaago series, recorded last fall in Ami 8's studio and finally seeing the light of day. There are two versions of this mix, each offering a different groovy variation. Enjoy with a nice breeze, a summer cocktail, among friends, on the way to a party, at a party, afterhours...

Performed b2b to an intimate crowd and recorded live on September 24, 2021 at Riverdale Park in Toronto.

DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 : Balearic Tale at Riverdale, Toronto, 2021

From Toronto with Love... Shikaago 006

Performed b2b and recorded live on 8 October 2021, downtown Toronto, Canada. T'was a windy one, just like the city inspiring the series... This one is classic, deep, soulful, and very expansive/atmospheric.

Performed and recorded live at a private party hosted by @oprimak on 30 October 2021, @thomas-log DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 present a balearic, contemplative, futuristic, at times tribal (and apocalyptic) progressive house voyage... A cautiously optimistic musical take - a yearning of sorts - on the world getting back to normal... See you soon at Bondi Beach...

Released early, for your listening pleasure... Whispers on Rio de la Plata... selected and mixed with love.

Dans un monde où le quotidien se voit précaire et imprévisible, le futur incertain et le moral abattu, les gens recherchent un brin d'espoir et de félicité... Planant sur la crête d'une vague au cœur de l'Atlantique, voguant entre les Baléares et l'estuaire du Rio de la Plata, le cœur ardent, le front emperlé d'embruns et l'esprit plongé dans une douce béatitude, Ami 8 présente ce petit ruissellement de bonheur...

Contrées sonores 004 : Susurros del Río de la Plata, Montevideo, 2002

Après la partie de beach-volley à la Playa de San Juan, nous mangeâmes au port d'Alicante. Au resto, j'enfournais goulûment le poisson et la paella quand on me tapa sur l'épaule : « I'm so sorry, I don't mean to be forward, but our friend would like you to join us... » Elle avait une allure enivrante, et je perçus un léger accent scandinave. L'esprit vif, Thomas me regarda et répondit : « Sure, would be a pleasure. » Nous suivîmes les jambes galbées de l'étrangère jusqu'au box au fond du restaurant : elle nous présenta sa copine, une Norvégienne dont les yeux turquoise me coupèrent le souffle. La pièce de résistance, toutefois, fut notre mystérieux hôte, et là j'avalai ma langue – Eddie Barclay, en chair et en os. « Salut les gars... Ida, Karoline... Écoutez, mes chers, on fait une soirée à Saint-Tropez ce soir... Vous serez des nôtres », dit-il bon vivant. Qu'il ait reconnu Thomas du circuit professionnel de tennis ou moi de mes modiques campagnes mode – ça je l'ignore. Nous acquiesçâmes poliment.

Trois heures plus tard, le jet d'Eddie eut atterri, nous rejoignîmes le port et la soirée commença. Elle dura jusqu'à dix heures du matin. Un jour, j'en raconterai peut-être quelques bribes : pastis, rosé, disco, jazz, de nouveaux amis... et les Norvégiennes.

Collaborations sonores 003

DJ French Thomas & Ami 8 : Bushwick Blues, Brooklyn, 2018

Flânerie sur Madison Avenue, une chocolatine à La Colombe, quelques pirouettes à la patinoire… Emmitouflés dans un plaid en cachemire, les amoureux partagent un lait de poule, se chuchotent des tendresses… La bougie exhale des rumeurs de benjoin, le feu de bois crépite, et les flocons, derrière la buée, planent sereins. 

DJ French Thomas et Ami 8 vous souhaitent une année bien dansante, joyeuse et amoureuse. Peace and enjoy...

This one progresses from classic and soulful to peaktime, ending with depraved, dirty, dingy, dope afterhours house!! Enjoy...
