He started out by DJ'ing at the French station Radio 7, before moving on to Skyrock and finally NRJ, one of the top radio groups in France, in 1986. There, he introduced the first ever house music show to be broadcast in France, while simultaneously producing runway soundtracks for fashion houses such as Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hermès and Yves Saint-Laurent. He also released two solo EPs from 1993 to 1994, and contributed to the Yellow Productions compilation La Yellow 357.
In 1996 Dimitri released his first full album, Sacrebleu. Subtly blending a variety of styles ranging from jazz to samba to house, Sacrebleu sold 300,000 copies worldwide and was named Album of the Year by Mixmag magazine. He followed this up with A Night at the Playboy Mansion and Disco Forever in 2000, My Salsoul in 2001, After the Playboy Mansion in 2002 and most recently Cruising Attitude in 2003.
"Love Love Mode", from Sacrebleu, was the template from which "Neko Mimi Mode" and "Tsuku Yomi Mode", the opening themes to the anime "Tsukuyomi Moonphase", were created from.

The first few notes transported me straight back 24 years…
We’d always play this at the afters .. little groups of party people huddled all over the house, talking complete bollocks…
I don’t remember anyone’s name and they mine but still see some of the guys in town, like shopping or whatever and we greet each other with the biggest knowing smiles and just salute..
We all say it, but those were just the best days of my life.
Cheers for this mate 🙌🕺🏻
@macster112
one of the best house music albums of all time.
@Cereal_kwilla
I remember buying this on CD in Miami Beach around 2000-2001. I hadn’t yet heard of Dimitri, but I bought it solely because of the cover! I ended up playing that CD over and over over… this bring back so many memories of clubbing in NYC and Miami in early 2000’s 🔥🔥🔥😍
@caelointheclouds
I bought it because of the cover too. Then I fell in love with the album!!! I bought mine at the Virgin records store on 14th St. in Manhattan.
@Cereal_kwilla
@@caelointheclouds I remember that Virgin in Union Sq. It was HUGE. I used to go there all the time just to listen to CDS and kill time between meeting up with friends. Those were the days! 😔
@caelointheclouds
@@Cereal_kwilla It was the best the place to be!! I always met friends there. That’s where I first heard of the Disco Kandi series, Mark Farina. I could be there all day! Lol
@Cereal_kwilla
@@caelointheclouds I moved back to nyc in 2022 and walked by that location recently and the old Virgin store is a Whole Foods I believe! 😳
@funnybusiness6491
Same bro. I bought this at Amoeba music off Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. I was headed back home after just watching Paul Van Dyk kill it at Ten 15 Folsom the night before. Still one of my all-time favorites.
@garethwatkins102
