The Best of 2014
02 February 2015, 17:30
It's already february 2015 and this article comes late - which always better than never! Digital sales have now become a thing of the past for many, since a bit of notoriety gets your music available for free in just a few hours after release, and since the taxation has now changed in Europe for exporting digital products (that's a 20% downfall for us in France on digital exports).

Henri-Pierre Noel - One More Step (CD/LP, Wah Wah 45s, 2014)
06 November 2014, 11:37
Haitian-born pianist, composer & arranger Henri Pierre Noël privately released two album recorded in Montreal, 'Piano' from 1979 and this 'One More Step' from 1980.

Thankfully, because those are essential tropical releases - especially the second one from 1980, blending funk,...
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...
Paris DJs presents The 20 Best Singles of 2013
01 January 2014, 10:51
This year's been a special trip for us and a special treat for our listeners, since we've managed to put out 29 digital singles in the last months! Of course that burned a lot of our time and the rest of our focus singles-wise has been mostly consumed by vinyl releases, 7 inches or 12 inches. So you won't find in there many digital singles from other labels, sorry about the self-centrism. Sorry...
