Album Review: Dimitri From Paris – Back In The House

“Do trust that I made this for you as I would have for myself”, explains Dimitri From Paris in the sleeve of his latest album, Back In The House. “May it stay by your side for a long time.”

Dimitri has been doing this kind of thing for years. In fact, France in general has been producing great Disco influenced House music since the 90s, and this latest album from the fantastic producer is no exception. It’s a massive collection of 38 tracks taken from two separate mixes.

The first is a live set from The Horse & Groom in London largely compiled of super smooth remixes and tracks that both Dimitri and his friends (Tiger & Woods, Kenny Dope, Maceo Plex etc.) have produced.

The second is a studio session mixed together again with more Disco House remixes, and featuring the likes of Moullinex, Morgan Geist and MAM.

It is undeniable that both CDs on this double compilation are perfectly executed and feature some superb remix versions of genuine classics, which truly shine through. Dimitri’s attention to detail is exquisite and you’ll be able to hear this as you seamlessly pass from one track to the next.
Over the expanse of the record you’ll start to find a few areas where the modern production seems to outweigh the original, but it isn’t long before another mix comes along to perk up your thoughts whilst keeping most of the integrity that is abundantly present.

For a few fans and new comers out there, this album is likely to stay by them for a very long time. Mission accomplished!
