Sami Dee Live @ The New Week After Hours Club, Pt. Two, 7am-8am.

August 1995, Paris, France.

In 1995, thanks to my Friend Ron-X aka Rony, I worked for a year in an Underground After Hours Club in Paris.

7 days a week, from 5 am until my Boss, a Fierce Lady, would say it's over.

The New Week was nearby Place de Clichy. I had such a great time playing this club. Not the best sound system in town but that room was just feeling right and I was very free to play & experiment whatever I was feeling like as long as The Boyz & Girlz were having it on the dancefloor! There were some very epic moments...

I wish I could go back in time...House Music was very creative back then. The dancefloor was very receptive and open minded. I did have material to play all morning long without getting my audience bored. I could play Hard, Dark and very Girly. I was in My Own Zone. Last week, as I was going through my DAT collection, I've found one DAT where it was written "Sami, Live @ New Week, 5-8 am, Paris, August 1995". It's the only Live digital recording I have from my year at The New Week.

3 hours Live, vinyls only, three Technics SL1200 MKII, one CS Signature mixer and my Dj booth always in the dark.

No computer, no sync mode, no fx toys, no bullshit! RAW! FIERCE! SHARP! & TIGHT! like it should always be. I can still feel the energy of that morning from this Live recording 20 years later.

I have no picture of those mornings. You were not allowed to take pictures in a club back then... We were fully living the nightlife, we didnt' need smartphones. No time for pictures & texting anyway.

Close your eyes, It's like a time machine! It's one warm & early morning in August '95, it's between 5 am & 8 am and the Crowd is feeling the Vibe. This was House Music and the way I used to play & party in '95. And yes, it was in Paris...

I was not a Flamingo yet. But that's another story...

Always In Stereo,

Sami Dee.

My Boyz & Girlz,

I have just recovered this Old Guest Mix of Mine via a Facebook friend.

This is a live recording I've made in 1993 for Dimitri's ( not yet from Paris ) Show on NRJ Radio which was already the Number One Radio in France.

The playlist is awesome and The Mix just Perfect. No editing, just Live. It was hard to beat me in the '90's with those Fierce 1200 MKII's in the Mix. I was already in Protools Mode back then...

Ain't no lie! Check This Out! This Rocks The House, Big Time! Enjoy The Ride!

Sami Dee's Lessons In Love: The Rose

September 7, 2014, Paris, France.

Here is a new episod of my " Lessons In Love " series started over a decade ago.

I haven't played some of those Fierce Songs for quite a very very long time. I nearly waited for that special moment to come. I missed them. I lived so many epic times with those Songs from NYC to Paris. It was always very emotionally intense.

Those songs are remembering me one very important thing:

Always Believe In The Magic Of Your Dreams.... It sometimes just a Matter of Time. Keep moving forward!

Be Fierce, Be Sharp, Be You!

Always In Stereo,

Sami

PS: If you're into Def Mix Music, this one is for you.

Enjoy The Ride!

This Mix is Lovingly dedicated to Frankie Knuckles, a Beloved Friend, who touched my Soul & my Heart in magical ways. 
His Sensuality, his Sensibility, his Elegance, his Soul, his Beauty, his Sweetness, his Smartness, his Brightness, his Kindness, his Sense of Humour, his Love for Life, his Passion were in every single note of his Magnificent Music. Frankie was such a Gentleman. Moments with him were always priceless. I am so lucky to have met such a Wonderful & Dazzling Person in my life. Things won't be the same anymore... 


His influence on House Music and people was profound all around the world. I have been playing his Music for 25 years, The Def Mix Sound, and I shall never, ever stop playing it. It's our duty to Frankie to support and preserve his Legacy. 


Good Bye My Sweet Frankie! Keep On Rocking The House in Paradise! I shall see you there one day. I shall be missing you. I Love You beyond Time & Space! Kisses & Hugs huge like the Univers, My Dearest Frankie!!!! Maximum Love, Forever!


Now, It's tIme to Be Fierce again & Celebrate your Music like you always did!

Sami Dee.

'If I could change the way I live my life today, 
I wouldn't change a single thing, 
Cause if I changed my world into another place, 
I wouldn't see your smiling face".

Yo! My Boyz & Girlz!!!!!

This Saturday, October 26th, 2013, Better Days, the Only True House Music Radio Show in France hosted by Bibi on NRJ Radio, was celebrating its 16th Anniversary!

Bibi and I created this show back in early 1997. We teamed up Live for 4 years and had some Epic Times together! In '99 Better Days had a monthly Residency at the best venue in Paris " Les Bains-Douches" fully broadcasted Live on NRJ! Those nights we're just Crazy & Mind Blowing! The Crowd on that dancefloor was so open-minded back then!

So Bibi sweetly invited me to play Live on Better Day again to celabrate this 16th Anniversary of The Show and pay a slammin' tribute to those Golden Years! I felt like E.T. finally coming back home! That Studio is full of Positive Waves!

The Vibe was simply amazing! It felt great to be back again with my Old Times Partenar & True Friend Bibi!

Enjoy The Vibe! Close Your Eyes! You're back in 1999, You're Listening to Better Days and we're playing live at les Bains-Douches! It's Better Days, Liiiiiiive!

The Essence Of A True Flamingo Pt. Three

Music Selected, Edited & Mixed By Sami Dee aka The Flamingo aka DripMaster Jr.

Recorded @ The Litehaus, Paris. August 2012

Yo! my Boyz & Girlz!

Here is my Series Finale. Hope you enjoyed those 3 DripMaster Mixes as much as enjoyed making them. Without all these songs produced by the Cream of the Cream in NYC back in the mid-eighties, I would not be the Flamingo I am today. What a Ride!

Music is such a Faithfull & Magnificent Lover! I hold the Lock and She holds the Key!

More Music, Less Talk!

Sami Dee
