Paris DJs Soundsystem presents 1973 - Standards, Versions and Revamps Vol.14
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2016-01-02
A new year starts and we can't be thankful enough for everyone who supported us last year. Now 2016 is here, rather exciting for Paris DJs. Many projects are in the vaults, quite ready to be released, including albums from Etienne de la Sayette, RacecaR or the Grant Phabao Afrofunk Arkestra. Also lots of new singles and remixes, of course. Some dub experiments should see the light too. And mixes of course! Your lovely podcast doesn't stop at 10 years of activity and more than… what!?? 5 millions of downloads already!! Once upon a time in october 2015 one of us was saying: "when a new mix reaches 500 downloads I'll pay the champagne". But let's not congratulate ourselves too much, the new goal is to reach the 500 mixes. This one is number 466. Cover songs released or recorded in 1973. Stay connected, we're here. And don't forget our weekly party t Le Pigalle on thursdays for some of our finest selections, in the flesh!
