Dimitrios Yerasimos (Greek: Δημήτριος Γεράσιμος, Dimítrios Yerásimos; born 27 October 1963), better known as Dimitri from Paris, is a French music producer, DJ and composer of Greek descent. His musical influences are rooted in 1970s funk and disco sounds that spawned contemporary house music, as well as original soundtracks from 1950s and 1960s movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, La Dolce Vita and The Party, which were sampled in his album Sacrebleu. Yerasimos fused these sounds with electro and block party hip hop he discovered in the 1980s.
