Paris DJs is media expanding into a very unusual kind of record company.

It is unusual because its principal characteristic is an uneasy marriage between business and "music you dont hear on the radio". It is unusual because there has been a remarkable consistency in its taste and devotion, for nearly 10 years already, to create an international a network of music lovers, spinning its web outside of the traditional "old school" music industry.

This year Paris DJs started moving in new directions, with vinyl pressings, t-shirts and posters. After a successful crowdfunding campaign named "Vinyl Is Good For You", mainly the feedback has been "when is the next one?". Overwhelmed by the response, we've decided to keep on.

We'll need more time to produce a new astonishing boxset of 45s, so right now the focus is on a selection of nine, as we called them, "Massive Hits From The Grant Phabao Factory", with :

- a VINYL LP pressed at 500 ex.

- a POSTER printed at 500 ex.

- a limited edition T-SHIRT / SWEATSHIRT

Grant Phabao is no doubt familiar to you as France's premier reggae lord. Over nearly two decades of superb music-making, he grew to be a prime purveyor of Jamaican Soul, wether labeled "ska", "rocksteady", "reggae", etc. With the Paris DJs label, he managed to cross the rigid boundaries of music categorization with an astonishing quantity of high-quality productions and remixes in many styles, achieving a high-order mastery in reggae, ska and afrofunk.

Ben Hito is one hell of a graphic designer, fitting marvelously Paris DJs' "international music" approach. We really want to spread his work, and notably, make a vast and eclectic collection of vinyl with him. With your help, we'll be able to produce those beauties.

Shipping costs & T-shirt size !!

Don't forget to add the shipping costs to your contribution. We tried to calculate them fair.

We'll also need you address to send your package once we get the vinyl pressed, the posters printed and the shirts manufactured.

If in Paris (or planning to be in Paris in the coming months), don't add any shipping costs, instead get in touch and let us know at which record store you'd want us to leave your selection, or come give us a visit.

If you've picked a t-shirt or a sweatshirt, we'll need your size (S, M, L, XL, XXL), model and color. Tshirts are Sol's IMPERIAL. More info here. Sweatshirts are Stanley & Stella STANLEY KNOWS. More info here.

The t-shirts are not particularly large, think European sizes, not American sizes. Sweats are rather "slim", rather close-fitting. Choose one size over your t-shirt size for the sweatshirts.
