The Dreadless Soldier - Mixtape Vol.1

The times they are a-changing A LOT these days. People everywhere around the globe are facing new threats. Propaganda formerly qualified as information or entertainment has been debunked by whistleblowers and you now have to do your own research to understand what's going on. We felt in those hard...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Vito - Selecta 02 - Nothing Rare But Essential

About two years ago we've introduced you to the sound of Vito with a first selection of soulful grooves. It was high time we came back to publishing mixes more regularly, starting with a new & tasty bouquet of grooves of his, 'nothing rare but essential' all along, as the man said himself......

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Lord Echo

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...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Andrew Ashong

A South Londoner of Ghanian descent, Andrew Ashong is a singer, guitarist, DJ & producer who's only released two EPs so far. On a house, soul & jazz tip, those gained him comparisons with Marvin Gaye, Roy Ayers, Bill Withers or Lewis Taylor — which should intrigue already enough for you to...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Magic Kingdom

Poster artist Ben Hito was the catalyst to this mix, coming up...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Slow Riders Vol.2

Following up on our previous volume, here's a new selection from this new musical movement happening worldwide, this revival of the "Lowrider Soul" scene from the 60's with many new, young bands putting out fantastic tunes in that sweet, soulful, Californian vibe. It all started thanks to...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Slow Riders Vol.1

It's been a while since we've posted a mix on our podcast series. Nowdays everyone's posting his own mix somewhere. But most of the time those are just VERY far from Paris DJs' quality standards. Where's the original artwork? Detailed tracklisting & links? Intention note? Track-by-track review?...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Vito - Selecta 01 - Soulful Grooves

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 Hérétik 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...

Paris DJs Soul System - Wearplay LP#29 - Live Dub Session 2018 (T-shirt/Mix bundle, Paris DJs/Le T-shirt Français, 2018)

Back from their gig at the Glastonbury Festival in 2013, the Paris DJs collective decided to up the game with a brand new stage concept called the Paris DJs Soul System, an innovative show blending deejaying and old school dub session, all with original tunes and remixes, taken from nearly two...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Wearplay LP#20 - Don't Sell Your Soul 45s (T-shirt/Mix bundle, Paris DJs/Le T-shirt Français, 2017)

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 Record Store. In between other projects I finally managed to make it a reality, thanks to Erik Rug and Loik Dury who helped me pick the best tunes from our 45s stocks, thanks to...

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Wearplay LP#16 - The Highlife Express - Deep & Funky Africa 80's (T-shirt/Mix bundle, Paris DJs/Le T-shirt Français, 2017)

Hot on the heels of the first season of 15 episodes of Paris DJs & Le T-shirt Français "Wearplay" series, combining clothing, music and graphic design, we're already back with the first episode of the second season! While we won't be able to release a new episode every day of the week...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1985, 1986 & 1987 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.26

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...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1984 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.25

1984 is the tipping point, the limit before things start to go really sideways for a few years in music… Out of the 12 tracks we picked here, two were already released in 1982 on small labels or pressings, and one was recorded live in Japan in 1983, so we're cheating a little bit. But the point is...

Cultures Of Soul - African Music of All Diasporas - Crate Digging Around The World Vol.5

Following up on their 2015 West Indies Vintage Funk mix, American label Cultures Of Soul are back on our podcast with a new episode in the series, this time expanding its Carribean crate-digging mission with US Jazz and African grooves: African music of all diasporas! Featured in this mix, a track...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Friends & Family Vol.2

Following up where we left off with the first volume, here’s the second part of our "extravaganza" mix digging into the vast selection of current artists, bands and producers from the unique "Paris DJs universe". We’ve left you last week with a 25-tracks selection of American...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Friends & Family Vol.1

For quite some time we wanted to cook a new "extravaganza" mix digging into the vast selection of current artists, bands and producers from the unique "Paris DJs universe". We started gathering recent and upcoming releases from friends, from people we’ve worked with in the past,...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1983 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.24

Things have been jumpy lately. The hard drive where ParisDJs.com was hosted died, we had to move to a new server and re-install all the backup. The website has been unavailable for a couple of weeks but we're back up finally, and it was high time we put up this selection of covers from the year...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1982 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.23

Even though it's a brand new year and we have many projects cooking for Paris DJs in the coming months, let's not forget our fan-favorite ongoing series of mixes of cover songs. We've reached now the year 1982, things aren't getting any easier. Madonna made her debut and so did The Violent Femmes....

Loik - AfroTropik

A one hour-long, vinyl-only selection, with forgotten classics and nuggets to be (re)discovered. The mix starts with some Afrofunk (Antoinette Konan, Pat ‘Ndoye, Jean Guéhi); before diving down into the irresistible Cape Verdian pulse: groovy, psych, roots, pop, even nu disco; and closing in Haiti...

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1981 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.22

From a groovy/tropical point of view, Interesting cover songs from 1981 weren't that easy to find. The sound of Sly & Robbie, present twice in this mix (with productions for The Tamlins or Bits & Pieces), was an obvious choice, but we've also dug up for you some classic soul, early...
