D3MOR

Haroun Ben Hamida, also known as D3mor, is a Tunisian DJ and producer based in Paris.

He established Radio Flouka in October 2018 – a web radio platform committed to showcasing emerging talent from the MENA region. His approach to curation is inclusive of both local and international artists. Aside from founding the Parisian station, he's known for his hypnotic and high-energy club sets that see him incorporate hyper-rhythmic selections with ghetto tech, breakbeat, jungle and footwork to create an intoxicating concoction of body-moving music.

As someone who's tapped into the Parisian undergound scene, we trust that he's got an impeccable list of travel tips. Here, he lets us in on his favourite spots in the capital, which range from Tunisian street food stalls to raves in old train stations.

France

Paris might be one of the most misunderstood cities in the world. Yes, it’s a city that wears its history like a Napoleon-era brooch, but it’s also a city in constant experimentation of art, politics, food and wine. It’s full of engaged, passionate people undertaking change of old paradigms and making strides in politics, human rights and ecology.

The sprawling boulevards are lined with cream and beige limestone facades; the deep green kiosks whisper stories of burlesque and museum expositions of the past. The bakery windows flaunt pastries that even Marie Anoinette would drool over. The moment you step out of the metro, you will understand why Paris is the capital of not only France but of the 

 (one who aimlessly strolls, admiring the surroundings).

This is my favourite place to dig new sounds and refresh my ears! A lot of my all-time favourite music comes from this place!

Music 

Vinyl

Record Store

Dizonord

Balades Sonores is an indie record store in the beautiful area of le 18eme next to Le Sacré Coeur monument. I love the small committee concerts they do! Also a lot of my vinyl collection comes from this place!

Balades Sonores

One of the best clubs in Paris. This is where we organise most of our parties. High-quality line-ups and lovely audience!

La Station - Gare des mines

Open all week. Old train station transformed into a concert place hosting free entry jazz concerts and jams from 9pm to midnight. Then club from midnight to 6am. This is your place if you want to party until dawn on Monday night!

La Gare / Le Gore

Old factory renovated to a community art place where you can find exhibitions, concerts and dance classes. There’s also two of my favourite art bookstores: L'Arabesque and Kiblind.

Art Centre

Le Centquatre

Old train station renovated to an urban farm, hosting eco-responsible workshops and music events. Also the best place to have a brunch with local, modern food and beverages.

This is my go-to place to meet friends. BBP is a bar offering over 20 types of craft beers.

Great place to share with friends. [Try a] Chinese dish from the Sichuan region called Málà Xiangguo, which means “spicy fragrant pot that tingles the palate”.

Food

Restaurant

Mala Boom

One of my secret places in Paris. A little Tunisian street food restaurant. I recommend ordering a kafta soufflé. Pure pleasure!

Street Food

Les Délices de Tunisie

At the forefront of the Parisian house scene is the city's very own resident nightbird, Lazare Hoche. Taking his name from a revolutionary leader in 18th century France, his position at the forefront of the scene is not far off to the latter's. You could also say music runs in his blood, with his French-Lebanese clan of composers, harp-players and singer-songwriters all held nearly and dearly. With over a decade experience of producing and DJing internationally and locally, it only seems apt to come to him for the best places to spend your evenings in Paris.

This is the symbol of my current area - the 9th district of Paris. Originally opened in 1879, the biggest renovation took place in 1926; the magnificent gold Art Deco 'bas-relief' reflects the sun on surrounding streets. This theatre also hosted one of my favorite TV Shows from the 90’s called “double jeu”.

Known more as 'Colonnes de Buren'. A highly controversial art installation created by French artist, Daniel Buren in 1985–1986. It’s found in the inner courtyard (Cour d'Honneur) of the Palais Royal in Paris, France. Unusual sight in the city

The Lebanese restaurant of my aunt - featured in the guide michelin - is a family food display, with generous portions, a warm atmosphere and a lot of personality. Located in a very random and residential area, this place is not the usual tourist trap; it's a secret weapon. It's what we love best - Lebanese gastronomy.

Back in the 9th district of Paris, very few people know that there's a Tunisian food scene here. I’m obviously from Lebanon, but Tunisian food is kind of a non-hidden love affair. Some of them, open since the 70’s, are still going and proud. La Boule Rouge has got it all. A true favorite of all the kemia enthusiasts and couscous nerds. The homemade tuna meshouia is the real deal here. No fancy vibes here or “wanna-be hipsters”, but a very comfortable family feeling as soon as you enter the place.

For record shops, it's pretty much around the center-east side of Paris, where you will find all types of stores, with great selections. My favorite one is this one; Melik, the owner, is one of the finest listeners and selectors of the city.

This is a cultural explosion in Paris. It's thrown on a Thursday night in the infamous Pigalle area. It’s an extension of all your fantasies at once; curated by the mighty DJ Dorion. The vibe is mind blowing, the music selection and people are eclectic, the performers and the show are authentic and fine-tuned.

Legend is the party of DJ Deep in Paris since 1997. It's the purest NYC House vibe you can get in Europe. This shot is the infamous, Kerri Chandler, doing what he does best in Rex in August 2019.
