After producing albums and hit singles with Studio One's legends The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, The Jays, The Silvertones, Parisian dubmeister Grant Phabao was given the Jamaican stamp of approval of "the producer who brings back the original Lee Perry and King Tubby sounds with a modern twist". Phabao expanded his output with roots jamaican remixes for artists such as Alice Russell, Nostalgia 77 or Quantic (Tru Thoughts), Ty (Big Dada), George Clinton… and spectacular mashups & bootlegs: Cee-Lo, Q-Tip, Roots Manuva, Erykah Badu, Jurassic 5, Marvin Gaye, among others, were...

It's been a very active year on the mixes front on the Paris DJs website, with no less than 20 new mixes from our crew members, and 48 guest mixes, with a unique original artwork (usually by Djouls), something closer to sonic perfection with our own audio mastering when needed (by the only Grant Phabao) and whenever possible, a detailed tracklist info with links and artcovers for each record played. We're trying to raise the standards of music podcasting each year! The Hidden Orchestra mixes are monsters. We haven't heard anything close to this before, mixing cinematic beats, hip hop, psychedelia, Portishead, their own Radiohead remixes and many more surprises. If you haven't checked those, get your ears on asap! Their album Night Walks, released on Tru Thoughts, is a real treat for fans of the jazz/nu jazz/cinematic ever-evolving crowd. Grant Phabao & Djouls' Cosmic Tropical Disco mixes are killer selections of the current disco re-edit craze, and don't worry, we'll keep on diggin' this scene in 2012. You also loved the timeless spiritual jazz offering from Karl Hector who released a stunning afro/psychedelic/jazz/funk EP, Tamanrasset on Now-Again this year. And finally many were touched by Loik's tribute mix of eternal respect to Gil-Scott Heron - may our brother rest in peace.

We know a lot of people enjoyed the Jan Kohlmeyer Yuletide DJ Mix posted early december (very funky!), but that didn't mean we wouldn't also be there for our annual 'Wishing you a stupid Xmas' audio greetings. Every year you know you can count on Captain Détendu (the man from J.E.W.P.O.P.) to spice the Christmas selection with some eccentric carols and Hawaiian jingles. This year's mix is, as usual, full of surprises. We've been digging here, there and everywhere. Hope you'll have as mch fun listening to this one as we had cooking it. Big thanks to the Grant Phabao Express Mix & Mastering...

The iPhone Connection song is a tribute to the co-founder and CEO of Apple who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer this summer. It was recorded at Paris DJs studios just a few days before Steve Jobs passed away. Jamaican DJ The Lone Ranger is on vocal duties with French dubmeister Grant Phabao at the controls & playing all instruments. The Lone Ranger is one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He was twice voted N°1 deejay on the island, in 1979 and 1980. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and...

Down By The River Side's first album on the Colored-Inc. label (colored-inc.com) - launched by Djouls and Doctor L - is what some could call a 'jazz' album. Blending Jamaican harmonies with American Jazz or blaxploitation Funk, European folk & electronics with African percussions, Slam and Jazz with Hip Hop, Afrobeat with Gospel and Poetry, with some hefty doses of Reggae, Psychedelia and Soul in between, this is indeed a kind of a 'New Thing!', entirely produced by Doctor L & Grant Phabao with star guesting Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger and The Jays, Allonymous and Tony Allen....

She was featured on Cee-Lo's latest LP The Lady Killer, and released in march this year her first album, Selah Sue.
