I did this remix before Michael passed away so I could play it in my sets. Thanks to Frankie Knuckles who heard it and passed it to Motown chief-exec' it came out in fall 2010. Unfortunately it was only available in some countries iTunes stores and on the UK pressing of the MJ remix suite CD

I want you Black-Dimitri From Paris super heavy funk brakes remix

Them - Grolia Dimitri From Paris re-edit

This is my 6th CHIC Organization remix that will be available as a bonus (digital & vinyl) to the upcoming 4 x CD boxset. The original version was part of french iconic pop singer Sheila's King Of The World album that CHIC produced in 1980. It was the follow up to the cult Spacer single. When the original analog tapes were transferred extra unused takes were found. The CHIC band were rehearsing the song and in the process recorded alternate guitar and piano parts that due to the then available technology couldn't be used in the original final mix. Current tools allowed me to sync the unused parts with the rest of the used takes. My remix is quite a "bourgie bourgie" like version in the spirit of the CHIC classic instrumental workouts like Sao Paulo or Savoir Faire.                       

Sheila & B Devotion - Your Love Is Good (Dimitri From Paris Remix) SNIPPET

In 1994 this was one of my first international artist remix. Björk had just left her Sugarcubes band to go solo, and she was only mildly know back then. I was commissioned to remix Human Behaviour by Island France who were releasing it domestically. I did 2 sets of mixes and they were grouped on a single promo 12" that was pressed to only 500 copies making it a pretty rare item today. She apparently didn't like the remix much and it stayed commercially unreleased. Luckily for me, I had a chance meeting with David Morales at the time and gave him 2 copies. Months later I was told he and DEF mix partner Frankie Knuckles were killing it in the NY clubs. Thanks to them my name got out of France and it kickstarted my carreer outside of my country.
