France's Francois K serves up silky, supple, and deep house rhythms that will raise your body temperature while keeping you laid back and cool.
By the mid-'80s, K was a popular remixer and producer, working with such acts as U2, Kraftwerk, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Eurythmics, and Diana Ross.
K blends just the right amount of gooey disco with tingly funk and bumping R&B to create a pleasurable vibe that culminates in a state of pelvis-pumping hedonistic fervor.

 FRANCOIS K @ Plaza - Review
Francois was born in France in 1954 (which makes him older than my Dad), and picked up drumming and his first primitive DJing gigs by age twenty in Strasbourg.
Francois’ drumming knowledge allowed him to assimilate quickly the new sounds and the mixing techniques he was being exposed to, and before long he was producing acetate plates with loops and samples spliced together from analog tapes.
The cigarette girls, the go-go dancers, and the funky organic lamps that hung from the ceiling were the perfect accompaniment to every rocking track that Francois K laid down.

 François K: Deep and Sexy - PopMatters Music Review
K hasn't really spent much of that time chasing the latest trends -- to a degree, he's still making disco records, and true to form, there are sassy divas and snappy high-hats aplenty to be found on Deep and Sexy, his latest DJ mix compilation.
Like many DJ mix compilations, it's a bit inconsistent, and François K's emphasis is clearly more on cramming as many good songs on to one disc as possible, rather than creating a seamless mix -- his segues are pretty perfunctory at times.
Wisely, François K saves his best segueway for last, moving seemlessly from "Sweeter Love"'s bouncy rhythm into the smoother vibe of "Love Is", which has one of those blissed-out grooves that old school househeads never get tired of.
