Monsieur Dimitri's De-Luxe House of Funk

Amazon.com
It's hard to argue with super-stylin' French DJ Dimitri from Paris. Between selling a couple hundred thousand of his debut, Sacrebleu, and then scoring hot and heavy with 2000's A Night at the Playboy Mansion and the three-disc workout Disco Forever, Turkish-born Dimitri seems to only spin gold, and House of Funk is no exception. Recorded originally in 1997 as a compilation for Mixmag magazine, the CD does have its rough spots, but even as a colorless house beat pile-drives the party right up to Mondo Grosso's "Vibe PM," Dimitri's skill in weaving disco strings and horny vocals together with unique tracks makes it all work like a charm. Per usual for him, Dimitri goes further than the average ignorant and insular DJ in finding his mix material. Forget spinning another house track from another unknown "producer," Dimitri blends '80s funk, Latin rhythms, Algerian Rai, new disco, and electro-pop under his beat-heavy banner. Bob Sinclar, Björk, Brand New Heavies, and Cheb Khaled (as well as unknowns Teddy G and Switchblade Sisters) all receive the Dimitri treatment, losing their identity to his in the process. Equal parts sentimental disco cheesemeister and crafty beat-matching style explorer, Dimitri from Paris invites you to shake it under his world-class mirror ball. --Ken Micallef

For anyone who loves.......2007-04-10

The feeling of Ecstacy




This is better

A Staple for anyones house collection.......2002-12-30

Anyone in the market for music to make people get up and dance, needs to purchase this. Undoubtedly a leading source of influence in the ever evolving developments of house music, DJ Dimitris album is a necessity for anyone who is a fan of house music or those who just love to boogie!

Not very impressed.......2002-01-23

I own most of Dim's stuff, this is definately "NOT" one of his artistic highpoints. Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining if you want to hear some middle of the road house music but it's not a must have. In case you are looking to purchase some dimitiri, try the playboy mansion, disco forever or his more loungy album sacre(sorry for the messed up spelling)bluuuuuu

Stoked.......2001-12-28

Okay, shoot me, I didnt buy this CD from Amazon.com, but hey, I still own the CD...

Although Dimitri keeps a somewhat low profile, he mixes some awesome music! Im still very happy that I bought this.

It doesn't matter what type of music you like, Dimitri will put a smile on your face! Every song has a catchy beat and easy rhythm. Another unique thing, unlike most music CD's this one does not use track gaps meaning there are no song conclusions/intros... each song rolls smoothly to the next one without the annoying silence in between your music.

All in all, this album fits in the "New age/Funk/Electronica/Trip hop/Dance house" genre. It would be difficult to classify this CD as one particular type of music as each song is slightly different.

Its almost a sure bet you will enjoy Dimitri, so I recommend it strongly.

I would give it 4.5 actually.........2001-10-20

its pretty good. Better than most of the cds i have. I especially like that the tracks are pretty varied.. The best track is the last one because its a bjork remix.. and bjork is magical.

Average customer rating: i love this album It must be a French thing... Try not moving to this one! Its cool; Sacrebleu is now available in US Get it Amazon! Sweeet.

i love this album.......2001-12-24

I bought this cd a few years ag- when it came out. Unfortunately I lost it, but I quickly bought it the next day. I put this on when i am getting ready to go out, clean my apartment, chill, talk on the phone, go running- I guess I listen to it a lot. I just love it. I love house music anyway, and this album is a bit disco- but not too much. If you like daft punk, air, modjo, mark farina, armand van helden or peter heller- you definately like this!!

It must be a French thing..........1999-12-07

The mixing is tight and most of the tracks keep a feel of rolling deep. This is a late night groove that kicks off house touched with jazz. Eventually the groove turns to those housey breaks under jazz for a track or so. My only problems were that no matter how I tried, I couldn't kick enough bass under the tracks. Also I question a few of the track selections. I realize the 'Sometimes' track is his mix, but better mixes are out. The Bjork rant boarders on annoying at certian hours and mindframes. In American terms, this tape could be mistaken for San Fransico house. However, I suspect Monsieur Dimitri hasn't really spent quality time in Chicago. That said, this is the best house mix by a non-American I've heard in 7 years of house devotion.

Try not moving to this one!.......1999-12-06

No matter what type of musical backgroud your friends have, they will be dying to find out where you got this CD; it's awsome! Ultra-funky beats and basslines compiled with enriching, melodious samples make this CD above all others. The transitions are perfectly timed, leaving a style long enough to completely enjoy but without getting repetitive. It's electronic, but not enough to turn people off. I've haven't heard any other cd that comes close to it. But be careful... This CD will make you MOVE, whether you wanted to or not!

Its cool; Sacrebleu is now available in US Get it Amazon!.......1999-11-25

This is a funky cool cd. Good to move around to. Solves your problem if you need to figure out what to play at a party that will keep the club kids happy but won't offend others. Even better in this regard is Dimitri's Sacrebleu now available in the US as a domestic! Amazon, get it on your site, kids.

Sweeet........1999-11-17

Groovy. Thats the only word to describe this fantastique record. Go and buy it. You wont be disapponted.
