About Dimitri From Paris

Dimitri from Paris (born Dimitrios Yerasimos, Greek: Δημήτριος Γεράσιμος; 27 October 1963) is a French music producer and DJ of Greek descent.[1] His musical influences are rooted in 1970s funk and disco sounds that spawned contemporary house music, as well as original soundtracks from 1950s and 1960s movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, La Dolce Vita and The Party,[1] which were sampled in his album Sacrebleu.[2] Dimitri fused these sounds with electro and block party hip hop he discovered in the 1980s. Contrary to his musical pseudonym, Dimitri was born not in Paris but born in Istanbul,[3] Turkey. Dimitri grew up in France where he discovered DJing at home, using whatever he could find to "cut and paste" samples from disco hits or in to montages heard on the radio, blending them together to make tapes. This early experimentation helped him launch his DJ career.[1] D.F.P. Distinction For Pleasure T.S.O.P. The Sound Of Paris, delivered to you for over 30 years.
