Paris DJs Playlist - April 2013
08 May 2013, 18:09
April 2013 was not the most active month we've had so far on the CD and vinyl front from other labels and artists. Thankfuly Nik Weston sent us a trilogy of his latest and upcoming releases on Mukatsuku Records, Ping Pong Promotion in France fed us with news from the Ninja Tune and Big Dada labels and the expanded edition of the Pepe Deluxé album, Tru Thoughts Recordings, Tramp Records and Analog...
Paris DJs Playlist - March 2013

March 2013 was an exceptional month, with MANY independant labels and artists keeping on hitting us with download links and promotional records. Here's our selection of the best vinyl and CDs we received, a large one for a change (25 releases reviewed!), including of course the fantastic four Paris DJs releases of each of the four previous week, you know the deal by now! We also received an...
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 who hit us with delicous raw funk, from Mr Bongo Records who's just reissued two Ebo Taylor gems...
Paris DJs Playlist - January 2013
31 January 2013, 16:14
With big outlet FNAC usual wrongdoings, which we warned about 7 years ago now, and Virgin Megastores closing, with some crookery from the distributors hiding their losses and rushing headlong into the wall, record labels are dying in France. Well not many have ever existed over here, but now they're disappearing at an accelerated speed. Warp Records was among the first ones. Numero Group, Daptone,...
Paris DJs Playlist - December 2012
27 December 2012, 16:28
Before the 2 last mixes, the new year's eve craze and the year-end 'Best Of' list, we're not forgetting our regular readers who follow our monthly selection of records and music sent to us by labels, artists & friends... So here's our latest playlist of the year! Some have been released a few months back already, some have just been out in december 2012, and some are promo copies of records to...
Paris DJs Playlist - November 2012
04 December 2012, 17:17
We've reached a point where we're starting to receive each month more links to free downloads (44%) than links to promotional digital downloads (43%). The physical records, vinyl or CD, are far behind, with only 13% of what arrives at the studios. As music pros, you'll understand we keep our focus on artists and labels who are producing and releasing products you can touch and feel. As DJs, we're...
Paris DJs Playlist - October 2012
27 October 2012, 19:38
Woah October was heavy on the release side! As a label Paris DJs delivered new singles from Carlton Livingston and Pompidoo, a new album from Franck Biyong and the first compilation of Afro/Tropical grooves gathered by the Paris DJs Soundsystem… while as a media we received no less than 150 albums on all formats! It's quite hard to digest but we're trying our best, starting with this playlist, a...
Paris DJs Playlist - September 2012
13 October 2012, 19:03
September was like a standard month for us, 50 new releases landed in our hard drives, while nearly as many real life records reached our shores. Out of those we selected 5 new albums worth checking, Criolo's Nó Na Orelha, a superb eclectic set from the 35-year-old São Paolo rapper blending hip hop, brazilian grooves and even afrobeat; Fink's live album and book Wheels Turn Beneath My Feet, a...
Paris DJs Playlist - August 2012
06 September 2012, 16:26
Logically, August is the summer month when not much happens releases-wise. Well we still received a few handfuls of 45s, LPs and CDs, and a few dozens digital downloads. So respect is due this month to all the cool labels out there, starting with Nascente in the UK who does an amazing job on the reissue/compilation tip. They sent us the 4 companion double CDs to Lloyd Bradley's fantastic book...

02 August 2012, 16:34
July 2012 was cooler than the previous month on the releases side, with 25 new physical records reaching our shores (and more than 30 new digital albums). Thankfully some labels are stil putting on vinyl and CD, the kind you can touch, watch, read and cherish… Among them this month we'd like to give praise to Brainfeeder, Comet, Counter, Far Out, GUYNAMUKAT, Kept, Ninja Tune, Square and Tramp...
