Grant Phabao & Djouls - 21st Century Blaxploitation
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-02-06

Info :
From oldschool wah-wah rides to psychedelic soul, from deep funk to b-boy partying, from soul rock to electronic grooves, from pop to disco, here's the first volume of a new series of mixes, covering the '21st Century Blaxploitation' genre. This is an imaginary soundtrack to a smashing flick yet to be filmed, starring vintage shots of Pam Grier in her prime, animation fused with real-time shooting, uncanny 3D special effects and even more amazing stuff we can't divulge yet!

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Funk With Kids
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-01-19

Info :
A mix that's been nearly a year in preparation, a mix that started with the best 'Funk For Kids' dispositions, but ended in a 'Funk WITH Kids' way all grown-ups should enjoy too. We've been digging for months for those kiddie funk tracks, and thanks to the "ABC's of Kid Soul" compilation recently released by the Numero Group (ditributed by the friendly Differ-Ant people over here in France), we've finally managed to round up quite a surprising soundtrack of electic grooves with kids (or choirs of kids) singing...

Also a special big-up to Medeski Martin & Wood's new album of music for kids on Little Monster Records, 'Let's Go Everywhere', which showcases the versatility of our favorite jazz band out there. You'll aslo find John Medeski playing keyboards along with Steven Bernstein (from Sex Mob) on trumpet and Sharon Jones on vocals (with a few others...) on the 'Baby Loves Jazz' album - one that all parents should get when they get tired of FM Radio and other kinds of debilitating kids music, one that will ravish the youngsters in the backseat!

Finally, everybody must know the Justice 'D.A.N.C.E.' track by now, but we've taken the liberty of playing just before this one a bit of the track that must have inspired such a worldwide single, the MASSIVE hit from Erik Rug and MC Dynamax, remixed by L'Aroye & Kÿ, 'Tribute To My People'. If you don't own this 12 inch yet, find yourself a new record supplier cos' this was THE track of 2006. Nuff' said.

Lanu - This Is My House Vol.1
(MP3 podcast on www.parisdjs.com) Tru Thoughts, 2007-03-01

Info :
After a couple of tasty soviet selections mixed from Russia (with love) ((and happiness)) by Ivan Tchizhevsky, we're now visiting another continent with our new guest from Australia: Lanu.

Born in New Zealand, Lanu's from Melbourne and mostly known for his guitarist in the famous deep-funk band The Bamboos (on Tru Thoughts Recordings).

He's also quite a producer, for his solo Lanu projects, as half of production team No Comply and in the Local People collective... Add to that deejaying and remixing skills, co-founding Melbourne's Local People and Equatorial labels and running the Bamboo Shack Records label, and you'll understand why we're proud to have him invited on board of the Paris DJs podcast.

Lanu's just released a new 12 inch single ("Dis-Information/Mother Earth") on leading UK label Tru Thoughts, and his first solo album "This Is My Home" should be out on March, 5th. It's a grower of electronic-soul-funk original blending.
Don't say we didn't warn ya.
