On the heels of his 2003 album "Cruising Attitude," which featured a collaboration with Los Amigos Invisibles, Dimitri From Paris has been tapped by the latter act to co-produce its next album, a covers collection of Venezuelan funk/disco tracks from the '70s and '80s.

One of the songs, "Mau et Moa," was popularized by Nino Ferrer in France in the '60s. "We all had a good laugh when I told Los Amigos this, because they only knew the version that was big in Venezuela," Dimitri notes.

In addition, Dimitri is confirmed to create the opening theme music to a new Japanese animation TV series, "Moon Face". Recently, he completed remixing Cerrone's "Hooked on You" (with Jocelyn Brown on vocals) for Switzerland's Purple Music. Due later this month, it is the B-side of "You Are the One" (the Jamie Lewis remixes).

Come October, U.K. label BBE will release a two-disc disco compilation, mixed-tag-team style-by Dimitri and Joey Negro. "It will feature lots of special re-edits," Dimitri says of the set. "It will also showcase stuff that we deem totally unknown or unusual -- not the usual suspects."

But there will be one exception: Negro's re-edit of Yaz's "Situation." Dimitri explains, "It's too good not to include."
