Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

It's hard to argue with super-stylin' French DJ Dimitri from Paris. Between selling a couple hundred thousand of his debut, Sacrebleu, and then scoring hot and heavy with 2000's A Night at the Playboy Mansion and the three-disc workout Disco Forever, Turkish-born Dimitri seems to only spin gold, and House of Funk is no exception. Recorded originally in 1997 as a compilation for Mixmag magazine, the CD does have its rough spots, but even as a colorless house beat pile-drives the party right up to Mondo Grosso's "Vibe PM," Dimitri's skill in weaving disco strings and horny vocals together with unique tracks makes it all work like a charm. Per usual for him, Dimitri goes further than the average ignorant and insular DJ in finding his mix material. Forget spinning another house track from another unknown "producer," Dimitri blends '80s funk, Latin rhythms, Algerian Rai, new disco, and electro-pop under his beat-heavy banner. Bob Sinclar, Björk, Brand New Heavies, and Cheb Khaled (as well as unknowns Teddy G and Switchblade Sisters) all receive the Dimitri treatment, losing their identity to his in the process. Equal parts sentimental disco cheesemeister and crafty beat-matching style explorer, Dimitri from Paris invites you to shake it under his world-class mirror ball. --Ken Micallef

5.0 out of 5 stars This is too hot, July 17, 2001
By A Customer
There truly exists a lack of words to describe the wickedness of this album. Dimitri does it again mixing afro-cuban drums, thumping bass, and bopping tunes to create sounds that resonate disco, soul jazz, and electro grooves. Once you put this album on you will not take it off, track 6 alone temps you enough with its dance backbeat groove overlapped by a waving hawainian sample from an old 1950's hollywood film. If you like Thievery Corporation, with a little Everything But The Girl, topped with some Jamiroquai then this is the album for you. The album is hot, and the clubs and lounges that play it even hotter.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a re release, July 27, 2001
By A Customer
Imagine my excitement when I saw that there was a new CD from the awesome Dimitri. then imagine my chagrin when I discovered it is a re-release marketing ploy.

Sure this is a great cd, but don't buy it if you already have "Mixmag Presents Monsieur Dimitri's De-Luxe House Of Funk" which sat in my cd player for practically all of 1998 and defined that summer for me.-- it's the same CD repackaged. I almost bought it again since I buy anything and everything from Dimitri.

C'mon Dimitri, put out something new!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very impressed, January 22, 2002
By Gertjan Hofwegen "gertjan_hofwegen" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I own most of Dim's stuff, this is definately "NOT" one of his artistic highpoints. Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining if you want to hear some middle of the road house music but it's not a must have. In case you are looking to purchase some dimitiri, try the playboy mansion, disco forever or his more loungy album sacre(sorry for the messed up spelling)bluuuuuu

The tracks on this record are selected from the mid and late 90's. As I understand it, this CD was released a few years ago under a different package. Read more
