Alessandro Calabrese
Also known as “phaze Project,” Alessandro Calabrese is one of the brightest talents in the modern french house music scene. With several releases on Club Coral, Irma Dancefloor and Disco Future Records, it was only a matter of time before the German producer featured on The French Shuffle.
But, what about Calabrese’s sound? The best way to describe it is a smooth blend of summertime disco and relaxed funk.
Our Song Pick: Alessandro Calabrese – Sunshine
Butyreux
French house act, Butyreux, is no stranger to The French Shuffle, having featured for Everybody (Camaro Kids Remix) and Jaguar in the past. More recently, the producer released new music via So French Records, continuing with a soulful swing of disco energy and bright sounds.
Trust us, you won’t be disappointed, especially if you listen to any artists from So French Records, Yunizon or Roulé.
Our Song Pick: Butyreux – Este
Ev.exi
After hearing an ev.exi single, you’ll probably put it on repeat for weeks to come. So, we’ve decided to dub him “the sultan of sampling” – would you agree? If you like The Phantom’s Revenge, DJ Falcon or Fibre, you definitely have to tune in here.
Our Song Pick: ev.exi – Transition
Go Go Bizkitt!
This list wouldn’t be complete without an appearance from UK-based DJ/producer, Go Go Bizkitt!. You can usually find the prolific act creating soothing disco, upbeat french house or synthwave. And, with such a versatile style, it’s no wonder he has over 17,000 followers on Soundcloud. Maybe, you’ll be his next fan?
Our Song Pick: Le Babar & Silver Disco – Get Down (Go Go Bizkitt! Remix)
Le Phunk
We first found out about Le Phunk after hearing Naroni’s Soulmates remix. At the time, we didn’t know what to expect, but Naroni’s presence on the track made quite the impression. From there, it was history. Le Phunk has released some of the most thrilling, vintage-inspired sounds we’ve heard in awhile and we can’t get enough of him.
Our Song Pick: Le Phunk – Beach Hut

LemKuuja
“Every track you produce is beyond great,” said Servoz, a Soundcloud user, when speaking about one of LemKuuja’s songs. Well Servoz, we’d have to agree with you. There’s something truly special about LemKuuja and he manages to set himself apart from other producers with every new release.
Our Song Pick: LemKuuja – Let’s Go Out Somewhere
Loze
If you haven’t heard of Loze, you’ve really been missing out. Whether he’s writing funky french house rhythms or fierce french electro anthems, you can always expect him to deliver. Just listen to songs, like Good Day, Stress (Loze Remix) or Atlantic Disco. We’re certain you’ll find at least one track to fall in love with.
Our Song Pick: Loze – Winter
Mac Stanton
So French Records frontman, Mac Stanton, has been a trailblazer for the french house genre. On top of starting his pristine record label, Stanton maintains one of the most extensive french house discographies in the game. He’s one musician you have to know.
Our Song Pick: Superfunk – The Young MC (Mac Stanton Remix)

Midnight Club
Another feature for Midnight Club? That’s right. And, we wouldn’t have it any other way. In 2016, the funk-charged DJ/producer jumped on our radar with songs, The Morning and My Mind, and we haven’t looked back since.
Our Song Pick: Midnight Club – Ouh, Ouh, Ouh!
Mr. Fahrenheit
Mr. Fahrenheit’s style falls somewhere between french house and future funk, but we’ll let you be the ultimate judge of that. Regardless, the American musician has some serious skill, taking inspiration from The Fugees, Marvin Gaye and Zapp in his productions. Beerlover fans will feel right at home.
Our Song Pick: Mr. Fahrenheit – One Of A Kind

Naroni
Naroni is easily one of our favorite french house newcomers. His beats are bouncy, his bass lines are lively and his melodies are majestic. What more could you ask for? Really, Naroni’s sounds are the perfect recipe for the french house revival.
Our Song Pick: Thomas Tonfeld & Leaving Atlantis – Paradise (Viciousi &Naroni Remix)

Roisto
Remember Roisto’s remix of Herefore by disco band, Parcels? That was the song that put the Finnish DJ/producer on the map for us. Luckily, the artist hasn’t slowed down at all, having released a number of singles and remixes with Axtone Records. Contemporary disco-funk at its finest? We think so.
Our Song Pick: Spada – With You (Roisto Remix)
Salvator
Get ready to groove because Canadian electronic musician, Salvator, is on the scene. We’ve recently had some time to explore his discography and came across his “not so secret” Soundcloud account, which features a number of extremely dancy french house tracks. Don’t believe us? Find out for yourself.
Our Song Pick: Salvator – Around The Groove

Skibblez
And to round out the list, we have Canadian DJ/producer, Skibblez. If you’re familiar with Australian act, 95 Royale, you’ll have no trouble acclimating to the Forest City artist’s sounds. He produces a smooth fusion of tribal disco, funk and french house that is rare for modern-day music makers.
Our Song Pick: Skibblez – Do With My Lovin’
