Born from a French mother and a Ghanean father, UK-based soul singer Myles Sanko released in 2013 a first, critically acclaimed EP, 'Born In Black & White', before delivering his first full-length album, 'Forever Dreaming', during the autumn of 2014.

Paris DJs presents The 50 Best Albums of 2013
04 January 2014, 11:22
This year's best albums selection was the hardest one to make since we started being active on the musical web in 1996. There's a simple reason for that: we had never been that prolific as a label before. With 52 releases on Paris DJs (singles, albums, compilations or mixes) during the 52 weeks of 2013, most of our time has been spent cooking our own stuff rather than listening to the amazing...

Among the new discoveries, the Hartley & Wolfe album out on BBE is quite a gem, the latest Analog Africa compilation is a new must-have, Kraked Unit featuring one-half of Paris...

Spring is finally upon us in Paris and with it an avalanche of new records reached our decks. From Japan, France, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal… as if every artist in the U.S. had gone digital, or maybe as if the recent rise in international postage costs overseas was ending the American vinyl and CD business here in Europe. Anyway lots of new music to talk...

A full month's worth of promotionnal CDs, vinyl, WAVs and MP3s sent to us at the beginning of this summer 2012 is nearly 200 records. As usual we tried to carefully listen to them all, made a first selection, then chopped it down to… three mixes! So here's the first one, on a Bag Of Goodies eccentric & eclectic tip, soon to be followed by some more soulful house and breakbeat hop menus. Yes...
