SUPA DJ DMITRI
If the last you heard of Dimitry, his seminal dance outfit Deee-Lite was breaking up, it's time you did some updating. The DJ has been busy making tracks and playing for some of the world's top clubs since the trio disbanded.
Dmitry had a trained musical lineage well before forming Deee-Lite. Growing up in the Ukraine, he was taught music by his mother, who is a classical pianist.
After moving stateside to Manhattan in 1981, Dmitry started going to clubs such as the Paradise Garage and living in this new found dance culture. "That really made me want to start DJ'ing. He began to DJ out and worked at NYC hotspots such as Afrosheen, The Red Zone, NASA at The Shelter & The World, one of New York's first house music clubs. And then came the blow up success of Deee-Lite, which brought dance music to a new plateau. Deee-Lite had one of the few crossover sounds on the dance floor, producing four albums and 11 number one chart hits globally, including the club, then radio, then MTV monster "Groove is in the Heart."
When the group disbanded in '95, Dmitry decided to continue on DJ'ing. "It made me want to do music even more, just go back to the underground. It's always been my place. DJ'ing is a great, great gift and a hell of a job.
Scream of Consciousness - Dmitry's last mix and solo debut - is an eclectic & funky techno,house and electro collage that features three of his own tracks and three of his remixes. The cd has received a very strong, positive, critical response.
Meanwhile, Dmitry is touring the world and rocking his audiences with his slamming mix of techno, funk and hardhouse .
This year Dmitry will be spending much more time in the studio, recording and mixing tracks for his solo full length cd. "I'm looking forward," says Dmitry. "I am very proud of the past, but it can be a barrier. People have certain expectations, and when they think Deee-Lite, they think melodic house and vocals. That's not where I am now at all. Music has evolved with time and so have I ."
