[Repress now in stock] François Kevorkian + Dimitri From Paris, also featuring DJ Rocca. A tribute to "COMPASS POINT"/"ISLAND DISCO," the Nassau, Bahamas studio that was the epicenter of the '80s US sound revolution where dub from Jamaica crossed over with disco! (Saito)
Some 30 years after they first met in the DJ booth of Tokyo’s Spacelab Yellow nightclub, close friends François K and Dimitri From Paris have finally joined forces in the studio. The result is The Nassau Excursion, a dazzlingly good three-track EP inspired by their joint love of disco and boogie-era dance records made at Island Records’ Compass Point Studio in the Bahamas.
Across three essential tracks, François and Dimitri explore and celebrate this distinctive Caribbean post-disco sound – one where weighty basslines and heavy drum machine beats rub shoulders with early ‘80s synths, dub-style production, heady hand percussion patterns and arrangements drenched in space echo and tape delay.
