Paris DJs Soundsystem - African Mashed Potato Popcorn Vol.10 - When Afrobeat Meets Jazz

This mix was cooked with only one person in mind: Collen Chandler, from Liverpool, who supported our 15 CDs anthology crowdfunding campaign and asked us to try on a "when afrobeat meets jazz" theme, mixing the modern & old with an emphasis on the modern. While preparing the selection,...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Some Of The Best Things In Life Are Free Vol.8

Renegades Of Jazz- Paradise Lost (CD/2LP, Agogo, 2015)

Renegades Of Jazz a.k.a. David Hanke has been into trip hop & downbeat in the late 90s, then began to fall for soul & funk. In the 2000s he told us he was an avid follower of our various music websites from the era (Ninja Obsession, Tru-Thoughts.net, Djouls.com, etc.) and in 2009 he started...

Renegades Of Jazz - Fire EP (12", Agogo Records, 2014)

We had the chance to get the visit of Renegades Of Jazz last week at Paris DJs. A long afternoon of sharing memories, vinyl obsessions and of course the now world-famous Djouls' salad (a quick one, though, there's been better ones in the past). The man brought copies of his latest EP on glorious 12...

Paris DJs Playlist - May/June/July/August 2014

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Bajka Vol.2

In January 2009, we posted a first mix focusing on the amazing voice of Bajka, a jazz/funk/soul/reggae singer from Germany who worked with many friends of ours and released music on many different labels.

Paris DJs presents The 50 Best Albums of 2013

This year's best albums selection was the hardest one to make since we started being active on the musical web in 1996.

DustyTape - Go Slow

'Go Slow' is a traditional shout from the Caribbean islands. You hear it on the sea side as an echo of your quick footsteps if you are one of those urban weary beasts. The locals, not only the rastas, makes fun of you, there is no way to hurry up after all… At some point that's what we want to...

Paris DJs Playlist - February 2013

February 2013 was a short month, as every year, but that didn't stop independant labels and artists to overwhelm us with download links and promotional records. As usual, we've focused on the vinyl, the glorious vinyl that some inflexible producers keep on putting out, from the Mocambo Records camp...
