I believe there may be a third Dimitri out there as well, but it could be one of the aformentioned two going as "Dimitri". I have seen Super DJ Dimitri spin twice, and I can't recommend it. The mixing is fine but the track selection left something to be desired. When I saw him in Seattle last he was spinning a lot of west coast breaks. Blech! Other than that, I love the music of Dee-Lite. You should have seen the crowd go nuts when Boo Williams dropped "Groove Is In the Heart" in Iowa City. I also love Dimitri from Paris' music, but I've never heard him mix. The one person I know who has was not impressed, but she has strange taste.
Anyway, I belive there to be a third Dimitri, who goes by just "Dimitri". He made an amazing album with Eric Nouhan (sp?) four or five years ago. Some of you may remember one of the songs from that was "Folkloric Acid" as featured on the Carl Craig DJ Kicks Mix CD [313 tie-in achieved!] on !K7. But there are also a few latin house tracks on the album that absolutely blow me away. The production styles are not too-far removed from what either Deee-Lite or Dimitri from Paris produce, but I still suspect it's another Dimitri - I don't know why. It could possibly be Dimtri from Paris before he became Dimitri from Paris??? To stray even further from Deee-Lite, I bought an Eric Nouhan 12" on Outlands (not sure if that's the right name - the label with the cool original art by Dara?) suspecting he might be the brains behind the outfit and was pretty disapointed. The best track was an electro/trancey thing that left me suspecting Dimitri was the brains behind the outfit.
