DJ Dimitri
Handpicked to tour with Madonna by the material girl herself and cool enough to party rock at the fantasy pad belonging to Hugh Hefner, DJ Dimitri from Paris represents the upscale and glamorous side of house music.
In his second Honolulu appearance in less than a year, Dimitri’s sound reveals that although house may be the DJ, remixer and producer’s main ingredient, the energy of the disco era is the marinade, jazzy funk is its spice.
Born in Turkey but raised in The City of Lights, the dapper Frenchman gained worldwide appeal with his 1997 album Sacrebleu, which garnered its place among the top ten Albums of the Year by the dance music magazine Mixmag. More praise would be bestowed on Dimitri with the release of A Night At the Playboy Mansion, which Mixmag named as one of the top dance music compilations of all time. That album’s success led to two more in the series, After the Playboy Mansion and 2008’s Return to the Playboy Mansion.
As the resume reveals, the title of DJ playboy doesn’t come by association, it’s also a fitting one.
