When it comes to disco, Dimitri From Paris @dfp is somewhat of an authority. An expert selector and connoisseur, the ‘gentleman DJ’ understands the history of the music that he plays and that he’s playing it for a new generation altogether. He’s been instrumental in the establishment of popular disco nights such as his own XOYO in London, while his remixes of disco classics have been burning up dancefloors across the world. About to headline a show for Mark Knight’s Toolroom at Studio 338 this week, we sat down to chat with the dance music icon about his history, his work, and about why disco will always endure.

For Dutch producer and DJ @deeparturenl, music is all about feeling. His often cinematic and sweeping takes on the textures of melodic techno and house have made his sound distinctive. His current ascent through the ranks of a genre saturated by much of the same can be credited to this commitment to emotion - particularly those uplifting ones - with Deeparture tapping in to an energy that uniquely and unmistakably his own. As he continues to push the boundaries of his own creativity, Deeparture has begun to discover the multitude of nuances that lurk beneath the surface of his work and him himself, and having taken the time to hone in on these, is ready to set flight. We chatted to him after the release of his EP Electric Light and ahead of his set for Mystic Garden at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event.

@anishkumarmusic quite literally has dance music pumping through his veins. He’s been a student of crafting dance floor filling electronic music since childhood, picking up production has a hobby at just 11 years old and since, growing it into a flourishing music career. His boundary-pushing sound has caught the attention of artists like Four Tet and Annie Mac - modern tapestries of house and UK electronica steeped in a rich personal and cultural history. A master of the art of sampling, Kumar approaches his references more like an archivist - piecing together sounds like fragments of memories, stitching his soulful and propulsive cuts together with threads of meaning and intention. His calm demeanour might seem surprising for someone whose high energy tracks have been setting dance floors alight over the past few years, but it reveals the truth of just who Anish Kumar is - a storyteller. Ahead of the release of his debut mixtape, simply titled ‘A Mixtape,’ we spoke with him about his journey so far.

In the ever-evolving realm of electronic dance music, @gregortresher stands as a beacon of innovation, focusing unwaveringly on the core elements of melody and timbre, often overlooked by his peers. His music reveals hidden depths upon contemplation, beckons listeners into an organic universe of shifting sound.

Embracing a unique approach, he crafts musical narratives that eschew predictable earworms, opting instead for intricate lines that weave and repeat, unveiling their secrets with each attentive ear. Tresher’s latest EP for Cocoon, Black Halo, and its mesmerizing B-side Phantom Dancer, epitomise his fascination with contrast. Within these tracks, the onset of bliss gracefully dances between melancholy and hope, a reflection of Tresher’s nuanced perspective on club music.

With over two decades of experience in the industry, award winning producer and live electronic musician @rodriguezjrmusic is something of a pioneering force in the melodic techno spectrum, though you don’t get the sense that the years have weighed him down in any way. The calm, meditative quality of his voice does little to hide the ecstatic way music makes him feel - Having recently launched his own label Feathers & Bones, after all this time, he’s as excited and inspired as ever. Ahead of his set at Timeless Festival in Cape Town, a city he has somewhat of an ongoing affair with, we caught up with the visionary artist to learn more about his recent work, including a delicious remix of Darque's 'Yonke' for Kunye Records.

Rinse FM Podcast - Artwork w/ Dimitri From Paris LIVE from XOYO - 23rd February 2015

Initially this was supposed to come out on the HOUSE MASTERS FRANKIE KNUCKLES Compilation on Defected.
To make a long story short... it never did, I was given the blessing from Judy Weinstein (Def Mix Productions Founder) along with Hector Romero to do as I please with this version.
I did this with my keyboardist Erik Deutsch the day after I attended Frankie Knuckles funeral because I felt like I needed to do something not just in his honor but to continue to raise awareness of who this ICON is and undoubtedly none of us house heads should ever forget.
The whistle song is what introduced me to his music so it was only right that I created a version that captured the soul & beauty of the original BUT I wanted to give it more of a BALLAD feel, a version WE CAN ALL USE to close out a great party in his honor when we have them or simply to just hear at your restaurant, lounge, chill/comfort zone.

So ENJOY THIS FREE DOWNLOAD and please play it when and where ever you can no matter where you are.

Frankie Knuckles - "The Whistle Song" (Mr. V's FK FOREVER Jazz Version)

Keyboards & Bass by Erik Deutsch.
Mixed by Alberto Vaccarino @ Daddy's House, NYC.
Mastered by Mr. V @ Sole Channel Studios NYC.

Whistle Song (Mr. V's FK Forever Jazz Version)

Andrew Weatherall's first official posthumous mix. The only b2b DJ Harvey ever agreed to. Six hours at Trouw. Full send — this one's special.

Gabriel Szatan, Editor (RA): When mulling which direction to go in for RA's 1000th mix celebrations, many options came to mind. Some shadowy character 2-stepping around the fringe of our collective consciousness? An impossible-level IDM icon?

All tempting. But, ultimately, we are a DJ-forward publication and this is a DJ mix series. It felt truer to the history of the RA Podcast to release deep vault material from a time when the world of niche records felt different, tighter, more discrete.

The fourth-longest mix in the series' history is an unrepeatable marathon set recorded in 2012 at a superclub that no longer exists. 2012, incidentally, is farther away from 2025 than 2012 was from 2000... if we have to clock it, so do you.

It's the coming together of one British icon who passed away in 2020, and another whose time on the road has scaled back considerably as of late. DJ Harvey agreed to exactly one b2b set in his life: this one, with Andrew Weatherall.

The night took place at Trouw, an Amsterdam club already considered legendary before it shuttered its doors in the opening hours of 2015, as part of an RA series anchored around start-to-close combinations. Harvey was at the peak of an irresistible career second act, which dovetailed with a disco revival that dominated clubs for years. Weatherall, with infinite brownie points stockpiled from the '90s, remained everyone's favourite debonair psychonaut. 

What follows is 385 scintillating minutes of arpeggiated chug and slow-cresting climaxes, chronicling a moment when the resting heart rate of dance floors plunged lower than potentially any comparable point in the 21st century. A masterclass, and entirely self-contained in audio form.

If you've got time to spare, a fun side game is sussing out who plays what. A disco-dub cover of Echo & the Bunnymen? Smart money's on Weatherall. Exuberant EQ'ing of The Isley Brothers? Gotta be Harvey. As for the low 'n slow, lightly spangled house that was all the rage in the early 2010s (think Maxxi Soundsystem, Disco Bloodbath, Rub & Tug, C.O.M.B.I. and Full Pupp), it's anyone's guess. 127 BPM feels practically like a racecar.

When we kicked off our RA.1000 campaign, we outlined a few goals: tick off a handful of long-awaited dream guests, honour architects who shaped the world around us and deliver recordings you truly can't hear anywhere else. We sought to render an accurate picture of DJ culture in 2025 for the longhaul.

DJing and the mythmaking around it has undergone a quantum leap since 2012, let alone 2006, 1996 or 1989. For those of us who were kicking around in the former, there's a creeping melancholy that our prime is fast becoming a matter of historical record. The killing moon really did come too soon. 

Where will electronic music, DJ sets or any of this be in 2044? Hard to say. Best not to overthink that one. Instead, we want to say thanks to all contributors on the series so far. Now enjoy luxuriating in the company of two of the greatest to ever do it, together, for the first and last time.⁠

TROPICAL VELVET PODCAST EP86 MIXED BY FULL INTENTION

Recorded in 1978 and never remixed since, this is the first excerpt from the CHIC Anthology Box Set due out in October, I've been given the extreme honor to pick 5 songs to remix from the Nile Rodgers-Bernard Edwards CHIC organization vault. A one in a lifetime opportunity to work on the music from 2 persons who indefinitely changed the sound of Dance music !

Norma Jean Wright - Saturday Dimitri From Paris Remix (Teaser)

From the much talked about Chic Org boxset, due on October 18th. Also remixed by myself will be Chic "I want your love" & "I feel your love coming on",  Sister Sledge "Lost In Music" , Sheila & SB Devotion "Your love Is good" and Norma Jean Wright "Saturday" more info day by day here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rhino-France/336906391097?ref=ts and here http://twitter.com/dimitriparis


Sister Sledge - Thinking Of You  (Dimitri From Paris Remix) (Snippet)

Here comes another snippet from a Chic song I remixed for the CHIC Org Box Set. From the 1982 Tongue In Chic LP this song wasn't widely released as a single. I chose it because it featured all of the CHIC V. 2.0 sound that would then form the basis of the soon to come Nile and Bernard productions for artists like David Bowie or Duran Duran. The NYC Dubby feel was already there in the recording, I just emphasized it with only extra effects and no added production.

Chic - I Feel Your Love Comin On (Dimitri From Paris remix) (snippet)

In the week we asked our community what record lifts their spirits and we focussed this week's, extended 2 hour special, around the responses we had.

Glitterbox Radio Show 156: The House Of Loleatta Holloway

Vince Montana Jr left us on April 13, he was 85 years. 

He spent most of them writing, playing and arranging beautiful music. You can hear playing vibraphone (or vibes for short) on pretty much EVERY recording that came out of Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studio from the late 60s to the mid 80's.

He was playing the vibes with MFSB, composers Gamble & Huff's studio supergroup, the core of what is known as the Philly Sound. He conducted the same musicians as his own Salsoul Orchestra giving them many classic Disco songs, amongst them the infamous Runaway with Loleatta Holloway on vocals on which you can clearly hear Vince's trademark vibes licks. 

In the 90's newer school House producers got him back in the studio and he arranged strings for Mousse T, DJ Meme and most notably for MAW collaborating on the Braxton's cover of the Boss and remaking his own classic Runaway.  

When I first heard "The Way U Love Me" I immediately asked to remix it and a budget to be able to get Vince to score the strings and vibes in Philadelphia. I was certain the song could be turned into a Philly Sound classic. Despite suffering with major illness at the time Vince enthusiastically accepted and made my dream come true.

The T.S.O.P. version of "The Way U Love Me" is the remix I'm the most proud of. It features a cast of more than 30 people, each one of them putting a part of their soul in the recording.
The mix you can hear on this page is an unreleased instrumental edit where the forefront is taken by the string orchestra and vibraphone solos.

As India was saying in the NuYorican Soul remake of Runaway:
"Vince, play them vibes for us just one more time"
