And since he'll be playing at l'Alimentation Générale with French electro-acoustic band M.A Beat! on june 12th, we're happy to invite him for for this eclectic guest mix on Paris DJs!...

20 January 2015, 17:19

So, what's the best way to start a mix or a compilation? A Brownout tune, of course! We've found a rare Rock-Funk-Latin-Psych cover of The Beatles by our friends from...

Grant Phabao and Djouls - 21st Century Afro Spectacular Vol.3
25 May 2012, 16:40 1
When I was younger you couldn't find funky, soulful or psychedelic Afro music at all in France. Then I stumbled upon a used Fela CD and with the arrival of the 21st century I discovered Antibalas. Both rocked my musical world and changed my life forever. Flash forward to 2012 and I now run the Paris DJs music agency, producing with label partner Grant Phabao the same kind of Afro music I fell in...
