""Hello There and Welcome to the exciting world of hip thisis a new departure in language instruction for English speaking peoplewho want to talk to... be understood by: jazz musicians, hipsters, beatniks juvenile delinquents and the criminal fringe" so goes the scratchy intro to the ultimate cocktail party soundtrack. Super chic "esquisses" of the Parisian life where mystery adventure and romance await around the corner with the Eiffel Tower looming in the distance. The CD is a bit like listening to a very diverse soundtrack of a fantasy about Paris or the French in general. A virtual "Bou-fait" of hip tunes, trippy disco, spicy congas, and deep house making for a very smooth mix, with the sort of sophistication we have come to expect of the French and especially Monsieur "Dim" himself. Unlike his other works like Mixmag's De-Luxe House Of Funk and his newly released "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" which are both mix albums Sacre Francais' 2 CD set is a cohesive set of songs that flow seamlessly by hilariously cool samples from French Television and/or Films, think Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle with a house soundtrack. On "Nothing To Lose" we get ingenue Atlantique ( Claudette Longet?) from Peter Seller's film "The Party". The CD is loungey and smoky for sure, but it is upbeat funny and clever too! Sampling Audrey Hepburn from "Breakfast At Tiffany's" on Une Stylish Fille, also used by Volvo for a commercial. Dimitri is the supreme mixologist (...)This inventive and original work will stay in your CD player for months and will have your friends smiling and asking "what is this"? 0END"

Absolutely stunning elevator house music

"This record is an absolute masterpiece! An incredible blend of salsa, easy listening, funky house. Dimitri really brings french house music to the top. Forget Daft punk! Dimitri from Paris is the real deal."

"This version of Sacrebleu is the best I have found. There are several different imports from which to choose. If you are looking for a totally funky/dance album then don't buy this one. This album is more along the true Parisian style. There are a lot of slow jazzy tracks which flow like honey over the stereo. If you are interested in music for more than just a fast beat then this is a must have. Plus the case is very cool. Nice art."
