Intro

Dimitri from Paris creates music that sounds like the most expensive party you have ever been invited to. It is a world of lush string sections, funky basslines, and a deep reverence for the golden age of disco. His sound is undeniably French, carrying a certain 'joie de vivre' that balances club-ready energy with a lounge-inspired sophistication.

What sets him apart is his encyclopedic knowledge of 1970s funk and 1950s cinema. He does not just sample records; he reconstructs the feeling of mid-century glamour. Whether he is remixing a classic Salsoul track or crafting an original downtempo piece, the production is always immaculate, shimmering with high-fidelity clarity and analog warmth.

Start with 'Sacrebleu' for a whimsical introduction to his cinematic sampling style, then move to 'A Night at the Playboy Mansion' to hear how he revolutionized the disco-house mix. It is music for people who believe that dancing should always be an elegant affair.

Dimitrios Yerasimos (Greek: Δημήτριος Γεράσιμος, Dimítrios Yerásimos; born 27 October 1963), better known as Dimitri from Paris, is a French music producer, DJ and composer of Greek descent. His musical influences are rooted in 1970s funk and disco sounds that spawned contemporary house music, as well as original soundtracks from 1950s and 1960s movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, La Dolce Vita and The Party, which were sampled in his album Sacrebleu. Yerasimos fused these sounds with electro and block party hip hop he discovered in the 1980s.
