Dimitri from Paris (born Dimitri Yerasimos in October 1963) is a French producer and DJ. Contrary to his musical pseudonym, he was born not in Paris but in Istanbul, Turkey.

He started out by DJ’ing at the French station Radio 7, before moving on to Skyrock and finally NRJ, one of the top radio groups in France, in 1986. There, he introduced the first ever house music show to be broadcast in France, while simultaneously producing runway soundtracks for fashion houses such as Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hermès and Yves Saint-Laurent. He also released two solo EPs from 1993 to 1994, and contributed to the Yellow Productions compilation La Yellow 357.

In 1996 Dimitri released his first full album, Sacrebleu. Subtly blending a variety of styles ranging from jazz to samba to house, Sacrebleu sold 300,000 copies worldwide and was named Album of the Year by Mixmag magazine. He followed this up with A Night at the Playboy Mansion and Disco Forever in 2000, My Salsoul in 2001, After the Playboy Mansion in 2002 and most recently Cruising Attitude in 2003.


“Love Love Mode”, from Sacrebleu, was the template from which “Neko Mimi Mode” and “Tsuku Yomi Mode”, the opening themes to the anime “Tsukuyomi Moonphase”, were created from.

22 May 2010 | from blog.myspace.com/djdimitrifromparis

Disco SucksI used to really hate Disco. In my teenage years in the late '70s I clearly remember how the Disco I could hear in my Paris hometown generally sucked, and big time too. I liked …
