Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Paris Is Sleeping, Respect Is Burning Vol. 2

The legendary Parisian dance club shares a killer playlist to get you on the floor.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Daft Punk, Dmitri From Paris, Air — these days, if the house music ain’t from France, it ain’t worth getting on the floor.

This compilation goes right to the source of this French revolution: Respect nightclub in Paris, where most of these hits first took off. And speaking of hits, you get enough of them here to start your own club: Stardust’s Music Sounds Better With You, DJ Punk-Roc’s My Beatbox and Norma Jean Bell’s I’m The Baddest Bitch, along with tracks from We In Music, Chezere, Clement and more. C’est chic.
