Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Vito - Selecta 02 - Nothing Rare But Essential (MP3 Podcast) 2020-08-02 About two years ago we've introduced you to the sound of Vito with a first of soulful grooves.

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Lord Echo (MP3 Podcast on ) 2019-02-16 New Zealander Mike August, aka Mike Fabulous, aka Lord Echo (and a few more different pseudonyms), is one of those unique multi-instrumentalists/producers you can't pigeonhole in a specific style, blending reggae, funk, Caribbean disco, house, soul & afrofunk — but who's first and foremost a dub artist, just like our own Grant Phabao on the other side of the world... Between 2010 and 2017, he's put out three times the same album: with nearly the same title, cover artwork & musicians, and roughly the same blend...

Paris DJs Podcast
Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Andrew Ashong (MP3 Podcast on ) 2019-12-29 A South Londoner of Ghanian descent, Andrew Ashong is a singer, guitarist, DJ and producer who's only released two EPs so far. On a house, soul and jazz tip, those gained him comparisons with Marvin Gaye, Roy Ayers, Bill Withers or Lewis Taylor — which should intrigue already enough for you to be eager to give this mix a listen. He's been heard collaborating with various musicians such as Tony Allen, Auntie Flo, DJ Yoda, Nightmares On Wax, Theo Parrish, Hector Plimmmer, Sbtrkt, Submotion Orchestra or Swindle… So if...

Paris DJs Podcast
Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Vito - Selecta 01 - Soulful Grooves (Wearplay T-shirt/MP3 Podcast on ) 2018-06-04 A long-time activist of the French music scene, Vito has never sold his soul to the music industry. Quite the opposite, he was a member of the Heretik crew, and probably one of the amazing guys who made the legendary rave at the Piscine Molitor in Paris happen, during the spring of 2001 (among other unreal events). A friend of the Paris DJs collective before it even existed, Vito has just always been there, with a deep and constructive sharing spirit. He recently decided to start...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Dont Sell Your Soul 45s A selection of soulful 7s from the Paris DJs private record store (MP3 Podcast on ) 2017-09-26 In the back of my mind I had this idea for quite some time, of a selection of vinyl we have in stock at the .

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1985, 1986 and 1987 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.26 (MP3 Podcast on ) 2017-06-13 We've reached 1985 and most of music is in a really bad shape. Music marketing is starting to morph thanks to the Grateful Dead who re-invented the direct-to-fan business the previous year, but music production is still hitting an unsurpassed low, almost everywhere. It might come as a surprise to everyone following this series of mixes of cover songs all recorded or released the same year, but there's no much sense in keeping on digging for many more months through...
