Half a dozen releases later, the Turkish-French DJ and producer has enough material for Le Box Set, which consists of the label’s first five LPs.

Le Box Set originally came out in November, and after selling out it’s getting a February 26th rerelease. Edits of songs by Phyllis HymanKeni BurkeAshford & SimpsonJamiroquai and Chaka Khan are included in the release. Each unit’s package is individually printed with the records comprising it arriving in nostalgic tip-on sleeves courtesy of Timmion Records in Helsinki, all of which is accompanied by a screen-printed tote bag.

Dimitri From Paris (real name Dimitrios Yerasimos) is often credited as having introduced the first-ever house music radio show broadcast in France via Radio NJR in 1986. He released his debut album, Sacrebleu, in 1996 on Yellow Productions. More recently, he was enlisted to remix “She Drives Me Crazy” by Fine Young Cannibals alongside Derrick Carter and Seth Troxler for December’s Fine Young Cannibals Remix EP.

Derrick Carter, Dimitri from Paris and Seth Troxler Remix Fine Young Cannibals https://selector.news/2020/11/19/derrick-carter-dimitri-paris-seth-troxler-remix-fine-young-cannibals/ https://selector.news/2020/11/19/derrick-carter-dimitri-paris-seth-troxler-remix-fine-young-cannibals/#respond Thu, 19 Nov 2020 20:24:26 +0000 https://selector.news/?p=5469 Fine Young Cannibals‘ style of new wave exhibited a distinct danceability that translates well into electronic music. Derrick CarterSeth Troxler and Dimitri from Paris have been enlisted for an EP comprised of remixes of two of the now-defunct band’s hit singles. The Fine Young Cannibals Remix EP arrives by way of London Recordings on December 2nd.

The effort will include a remix by Carter of “Johnny Come Home” from Fine Young Cannibals’ self-titled debut 1985 album. “She Drives Me Crazy” from the band’s 1989 follow-up effort Raw & the Cooked has been reimagined by Troxler and Dimitri from Paris (real name Dimitrios Yerasimos), meanwhile. The former artist has offered up two separate mixes, and the latter three.

Carter needs no introduction among house music enthusiasts; his career launched during the genre’s ’80s heyday in Chicago with songs like “Love Me Right” and “Mood” (alongside Mark Farina and Chris Nazuka as Symbols & Instruments). Yerasimos (who is from Istanbul, contrary to his stage name) introduced the first-ever house music show to be broadcast in France via Radio NJR in 1986. By comparison, Troxler is a newcomer – although his psychedelic style of techno has been steeped in the musical identity of Detroit since he moved there with his family in the ’90s.

The Fine Young Cannibals Remix EP will accompany a reissue of Fine Young Cannibals’ two aforementioned albums commemorating the first one’s 35-year anniversary. It will include remastered vinyl as well as an expanded 2CD and digital versions.
