Deep Space: Dimitri from Paris
Back in the 90s, every runway in Paris was obsessed with DJ Dimitri from Paris. YSL, Chanel, Hermès and Jean-Paul Gaultier lived for the disco-house sounds that brought back the hedonism of the 70s, mashed-up with a bit of Dynasty vs Dallas glamour du jour. Tonight, the ex-Madonna boy toy is celebrating recent release Get Down with the Philly Sound compilation- the first ever documentation of the birth of disco in Philadelphia…who knew?
Cielo, 18 Little W 12th St bet Ninth Ave and Washington St, NYC, 212-645-5700, 10pm, $12, www.myspace.com/djdimitrifromparis
