BBE Records proudly presents its 5th and arguably most exciting compilation with the French dj and ambassador of disco, DIMITRI FROM PARIS. This compilation focuses on Dimitri's essential disco era tracks - made in Philadelphia, that feature the core of the rhythm section that created and defined the sound of the genre. Broken over two discs, CD1 presents a selection of tracks by Dimitri, which trace the evolution of the 70s disco groove from the first ever hit record, to the rejuvenation of the Jackson 5's career. CD2 boasts reworkings of classic disco tracks by Dimitri - paying homage to those innovators which pioneered the remix and extended edits.For this compilation Dimitri has exclusively reworked 5 tracks from the original multitrack tapes of GAMBLE AND HUFF with a further 4 being edited from the original 2 track stereo masters. This compilation is the first ever to document the birth of disco in Philadelphia and the work of the unsung musicians from the defining era. The compilation features 9 remixes and re-edits by Dimitri from Paris. The release will be accompanied by extensive liner notes, interviews and anecdotes from the legendary players involved in the music. This is the first time in history that anyone has been allowed acces to the original tapes and includes a remix of THE JACKSONS!
