It’s not Paris. This here comes from Marseille. A city that used to be big in Hip Hop – and now has a huge funky house scene. Many people there translated the boom of Hip Hop and Soul into fat, funky, slow house. DJ STEEF is one of the main guys. His releases on Magic Wand, Editorial, ZE, Superbreak and DiscoDat he has been played regularly by DJ’s like James Murphy, Weatherall and Tim Sweeney.
Toy Tonics records is rollin’. Check also the last ones by Moon Runner and Hard Ton. Incl Dimitri from Paris and Daniel Maloso remixes.
