ABOUT DIMITRI FROM PARIS

Compared to his cohorts in the new wave of French dance music, Dimitri from Paris looks much farther afield for his influences. While both Air and Daft Punk make much of their affection for the music of the 1970s (prog and disco, respectively), Monsieur Dimitri's inspiration comes from the Continental jet-setting faux-jazz of the 1950s and early '60s (exemplified by Dick Hyman, John Barry and Martin Denny), though the whole is updated by his long years of experience as a house DJ.

Based in France though he was born in Turkey, Dimitri entered the dance-music community during the mid-'80s by DJing at the French Radio 7. By 1990, his reputation had allowed him to record soundtracks for fashion barons like Chanel, Lagerfeld and Gaultier. He released two solo EPs during 1993-94, plus the mini-LP Esquisses, and contributed to the Yellow Productions compilation La Yellow 357. He also remixed hundreds of artists, including Björk, the Brand New Heavies, New Order, James Brown and Etienne Daho. Dimitri's debut album, Sacre Bleu, appeared in late 1996, also on Yellow Productions. Named Album of the Year by MixMag, it sold several hundred thousand copies around the world and finally received an American release in early 1998. The 1997 mix album Monsieur Dimitri's De-Luxe House of Funk, however, showed the Frenchman coming back to his house roots. In lieu of a second production album, he mixed several more sets: ICU Session, Vol. 3, A Night at the Playboy Mansion, and the BBE box set Disco Forever. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

ABOUT RACHEL STERLING

Possessing rare and astounding beauty may not get you everything … but sometimes it can get you a skating deal, a job where you jump up and down on a trampoline, and a chance to squeeze Vin Diesel’s muscles. At least that’s what happened to Rachel Sterling.

Rachel Sterling can be seen on the big screen in New Line Cinema’s The Wedding Crasher’s with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, as well as Stacy on NBC’s hit show Las Vegas. 2006 has already become a busy year for this versatile actress with several independents already under way. Rachel will also be launching her own rock & roll caberet act the “Sugar Blush Beauties“ while participating in an untitled special project that is currently being developed.

Interviewer: You’re a Latina with some Apache and Korean blood. How did such an incredible mix come to be?
Rachel Sterling: Lots of liquor.
