Rarely does an artist pay homage to the classics like Dimitri From Paris. The Grammy nominated producer, remixer, composer and DJ has made every one of his repertoire of reworks sound effortless; no mean feat when the original tracks are by the likes of Disco’s greatest musicians. He has a long history of remixing classic records, starting in the late 80s and culminating in this achievement of a lifetime, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’.
This 20-track album features three brand new remixes alongside the much-loved essentials all brilliantly remastered for 2018, tracks that have resonated with artists from Frankie Knuckles to Disclosure, Gilles Peterson to Mark Ronson. Alongside the remixes are instrumentals of each (four of which are previously unreleased), for the ultimate bumper pack. For this project Dimitri was entrusted to use the original studio masters from circa 1978 - 1980 that feature all of the individually recorded musical and vocal elements. The songs have been respectfully remastered, unveiling never-before-heard performances, turning the spotlight on the beautiful orchestrations of one the most unique and highly-revered production duos of the Disco era and beyond; Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards, along with their CHIC Organization of musicians.
Kicking off with the unmistakeable CHIC staple ‘Le Freak’, Dimitri’s timeless remix making the exquisite instrumental harmonies shine like only Dimitri can, the album delves next into ‘Lost In Music’ and CHIC’s classic ‘I Want Your Love’. Norma Jean Wright’s life-affirming ‘Saturday’, written by CHIC along with Robert L Cotter in 1978, has been remixed by Dimitri to cinematic proportions, the climax of many of his DJ sets. Sister Sledge’s ‘He’s The Greatest Dancer’ is given the Dimitri treatment with a new extended mix, drawing out the string motifs, showcasing unheard sections from the original master tapes, sounding better than ever. Further exclusives include ‘My Forbidden Lover’ and another Sister Sledge masterpiece, ‘Got To Love Somebody’ with cowbell and horns resplendent. More highlights include a new remaster of Sister Sledge’s evergreen ‘Thinking Of You’ and the final track, an underdog from French chanson singer turned one-time Disco act, Sheila & B. Devotion ‘Your Love Is Good’, a euphoric high to close on and another track using elements from never-heard-before recorded outtakes.
Through Disco grooves and meticulously reverent production, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’ gets to the heart of why CHIC’s music remains so universally relevant, underlining the enduring cultural significance of dance music in its most unabashed form. This album is a demonstration of how captivating the sound of a full orchestra of musicians can be, compared to today’s largely computer generated offerings, celebrating the eternally endearing qualities of some of CHIC’s best-selling productions, not to mention, for over 40 years, the unquestionable power of a great Disco record.
For those who did not like it, let me remind you that this is a re-reading from the vision of an artist who, by the way, is one of the most respectful and talented DJs to deal with the legacy of Disco Music classics. From his work the memory of the good times is still living in dance houses around the world. Nice work, Dimitri!
Amen brother 👌
Fuckin’ Dimitri is a music curator. Listening to his mixes is like going to a museum to appreciate the old masters’ legacy.
@@Vack91 Well said!
@@westminsterwatcher5152 You just reminded me of this album; I’m listening to Le Freak right now. After min 2:54, it turns into ecstasy.
ChiXtrism Vive notre Dimitri from age...
My absolute favourite remix of any song ever
Dmitri sort of takes a perfect 4 minute tune and allows you to be even more immersed deeper into the vibe for just that little bit longer...amazing stuff!!
1:23 when that classic guitar kicks in is giving me life..loving this remix
Bernard Edwards bass lines are what make all Chic songs so great!
SO CHIC!
Superbe remix. Et cette guitare qui groove !!!!! Et le miel qui émerge de la basse !!!!!
One of my favorite songs and this remix absolutely does it justice. I love how Dmitri does this thing where he sorta isolates what one particular instrument is doing for a few measures so you can really hear each part being played and how the entire thing comes together. I think that's a signature of his remixes and I really appreciate that.
A masterpiece I been a Dj and I us e all of these mixes perfect
yes Niles your the man!
1:23 The funky riffs!
Amaizing 1000
100% class
I loved this remix.
If you don't love this you don't know music A remix that only a handful of Djs could do . Soulfulricansoul
Absolutely blows my mind 💯💯❤️❤️
Very talented Dimitri
TOP
The original is simply a bomb of a tune, and this right here is one great remix, giving it legs to continue on being a great tune for years to come.
I totally agree! I wish the disco backlash didn't happen because it forced Chic to change their song arrangements (no string section). Although Chic focused more on the groove, their remaining albums at Altantic went largely unnoticed. I'm hoping some top-notch remixers get inspired to work with their 1980-83 material. There's plenty of hidden gems to be discovered!
Just perfect, can't keep still to this
Sublimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
BLAST , BLAST , BLAST THE CHIC BOMB !!!!! WHAT ELSE ON THIS EARTH WOULD ANYONE ASK FOR IF NOT " MY FORBIDDEN LOVER " CHIC ????
Yes!!!! This is amazingly awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is how talented rooted oldhead REAL DJs remix real instruments real singers real gifted musician's.. Educate our youth next generation! ✌
TROP FORT: LOVE CHIC AND DIMITRI
When first hearing one of his remixes I thought it was a recent remix of someone, than I found out I was taken to school by this man. I think just need to buy this vinyl.
@Andy Griffith strongly disagree, and because this is off the old master tapes, it's also the best quality you'll ever hear.
Uno spettacolare Remix di Dimitri tutto da ascoltare,ma soprattutto da ballare.
Joey Negro is amazing!!👍🏾
@ Harold Dean Butts, Jr. -
Dimitri from Paris also a bit amazing. Not like Dave Lee f.k.a.
JOEY NEGRO, but he did a real good job on this CHIC track !!!
DIMITRI still on his way FROM PARIS. but on a good way i'd say.
brillant !!

Bruh.....SMDH BEAT THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chi Town hears you!!!!

999 Yes
Come on Eric Hernandez, could you please be respectful (at least...) This remix gives to the old-school sound a new breath, the pitch is perfect. Do your own mix, and let's see 😉 The only ruined things we can see here are your comments. Don't like? Don't listen. But let the others enjoy this good work.
excellent mix
Amazing
There is another remix but just with the chorus. It was released in the early 2000's. Can't remember the artist something sounding like House music
There’s like three 😂 Sexual guarantee is one can’t think of the others rn. I’ll edit this reply when I find it again.

@@TheJerbau Oooo hadn't heard that one before. Very cool! Luther Vandross- Shine (Freemason Remix) is another.
Because the guitar is isolated I personally think this is the best way to listen and copy Nile Rodgers guitar playing.
Yeah it is actually really easy to work it out from this track. In those older CHIC records guitar parts tend to bury into the mix more.
........💋🔥
Why does the intro sound different than the one on Spotify?
This is a player song
.......💋🌼
too fast, this is not house, this is funky!
...........💋🏝
)))
Its such a good edit but its tooooo fast
Chic at 78rpm! I prefer the original 45 rpm version
EXACTLY! Dont think Bernard would approve of this tempo. Anybody with Pro-tools can copy and bastardize an original. all it is is digital isolation here there and wherever.
p...…la basse de B. EDWARD et la guitare de N. RODGERS bonifié par le talent de DIMITRI !!!!!! Déjà 40 ans que ce morceau existe cette musique est éternelle
Dont think Bernard would like this sped up version. I know alot of us dont. Its not cool enough like Rodgers and Edwards tempo. This sounds more like a cupcake rave. Nice try, but... NAH.
The Chic Organization was way more than -DISCO-
