Some 30 years after they first met in the DJ booth of Tokyo’s Spacelab Yellow nightclub, close friends François Kevorkian 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.

Matt says: You'll have to be quick, but Francois K and Dimitri From Paris may well have conjured up the best dubbed-out disco joint of the last decade! Wearing the Compass Point influence firmly on their sleeve, they pull up to the bumper in special style! Favourite track? "Steppers Revenge".TRACK LISTING
