Dimitri from Paris presents Cocktail Disco is not your dad's lounge record. Instead what Cocktail Disco has is an eclectic mix of obscure, funky and some jazzy Disco tracks that you probably haven't heard before. It's really a nice mix of vocal and instrumental material that should help round out your collection of Disco music. Make no mistake, this is not a CD full of slow or romantic songs as the title may suggest. These are original full length groovy and funky tracks that somewhat defy categorizing and are rare one-offs.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy to dig up quality tracks such as these, but the fact is Dimitri from Paris was able to come up with a good number of tracks to make Cocktail Disco a two compact disc set for a superb extended listening session.

Cocktail Disco comes in a gatefold Digipak, which requires careful handling, but gives the set a classy appearance. There is a liner sheet with release info on each track along with some basic background information. Overall, a surprisingly solid compilation that begs repeated listening.
