Radio Citizen - Express Brassmania
Monday 12 December 2011, 01:16 2
From electro-organic funktronica to jazz, soul & afro, Niko Schabel and friends a.k.a. Radio Citizen have already amazed us twice, in 2006 with Berlin Serengeti, and in 2010 with Hope and Despair (both on Ubiquity Records). Niko has been playing a lot live and improvising, with Radio Citizen, the Niko Schabel Quartet, the Express Brass Band and other bands from Germany. He cooked for Paris DJs this very nice brass band mix, with mostly live, unpublished recordings!...
Nostalgia 77 - Relics Three
Tuesday 29 November 2011, 14:33 1
Between his releases under the Nostalgia 77 name (with a fourth album released earlier this year on Tru Thoughts Recordings, The Sleepwalking Society), collaborative projects such as the afro-jazz of Skeletons, the Afro-Latin of The Rhythmagic Orchestra, or the Funk-Rock of The Broken Keys, producing music for Alice Russell, Lizzy Parks, his own UK jazz label Impossible Ark Records… and a plethora of remixes, Benedic Lamdin just seems unstoppable. He's at the forefront of today's Jazz musicians in the UK while always exploring new styles. His new album is empowered with overtones of blues and...
Down By The River Side - Hard 2 Find Vol.2 Mixtape
Thursday 27 October 2011, 17:10
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....

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.2 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-27 We've introduced our listeners to Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging skills last month, with a 40mn eclectic jazz mix. We've also published an interview (in english or french) and went to see him play his Sly Stone tribute show in Paris on sept 11, opening for Medeski, Martin and Wood; it was really amazing, the best double-bill of the year in the French capital so far!! His new album MTO plays Sly is out today and here's the second part of our A...
Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1
Wednesday 31 August 2011, 12:04
Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-31 I distinctly remember discovering Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging through one of his bands, Sex Mob and their album Din of Inequity, which included some John Medeski featurings and hard-to-believe covers of Prince, John Barry, Paul McCartney and a few others. It was the end of the 90s and France was as lost musically as it is today, with musical ignorance reigning supreme. Things have been slowly evolving thanks to independent medias such as Paris...
Mike Rivard (Club d'Elf) - The Trance Mix
Sunday 21 August 2011, 08:31 1
Mike Rivard (Club d'Elf) - The Trance Mix (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-21 "The crux of Moroccan music is trance. Trance as a quality in music has always attracted me, whether it's an extended James Brown cut, or something by Fela or Steve Reich. I've always sought out music that allows you to forget where and who you are and to break free from the mind's constant chatter", bassist and Club d'Elf founder Mike Rivard said once. Club d'Elf has just released a new and stunning double-album, Electric Moroccoland/So Below (Face Pelt), where jazz, freeform improvisation, rock...
Le Mellotron - From Jazz To Hip Hop
Tuesday 16 August 2011, 01:45 1
Le Mellotron - From Jazz to Hip-Hop (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-16 It's not news and even less an insult to say that hip-hop drew from the jazz catalog to build its empire. Le Mellotron picks in the hidden side of its Original Samples to deliver to their friends of Paris DJs a mix made up essentially of jazz tracks, dust-cleaned by the hip-hop movement, and quite often magnificiently emphasized. Will you be able to find which fantastic diggers went on a quest for the perfect sample that led them to the tracks played in this mix? We're letting you wonder… Answers are be published...

Hidden Orchestra - Outlook Festival Mixtape (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Tru Thoughts, 2011-07-20 This new and third incredible Hidden Orchestra mix doesn't fit in the same bag as the Footsteps or Night Walks On Vinyl mixtapes previously offered on Paris DJs.

Having shared stages with names like Bonobo, Aim, The Bays and Gilles Peterson it's about time Outlook...
