Mezzanine De L’Alcazar
Volume 8
Defected

Parisian restaurant Mezzanine De L’Alcazar serves up its recommended accompaniment which as this is number eight in the series suggests is surely saying much more than its just a dining experience. Split into two parts with side A looking after the scene setting aspects of the evening with a smooth mix of suitably cool jazz/funk sounds, which while they don’t raise the temperature too much are definitely the appropriate moves from resident dj’s Omar and Mourad. The second ‘Dance’ disc is compiled by Michael Canitrot who ups the tempo with an exciting blend of South Street Players, ATFC and Gilbert Le Funk’s infectious Afrikantastique. The words, quality and cosmopolitan spring to mind.
