Dimitri Tikovoi is a French record producer who recently worked on the Placebo album, Meds.

Earlier in his career he worked on some Placebo remixes and Placebo's cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" (found on the special edition of Placebo's 2003 album Sleeping with Ghosts), and impressed the band so much that they asked him to produce their album.

In 2002, Tikovoi released an album under the name "Trash Palace" (Positions, featuring Brian Molko, John Cale, Asia Argento and others).

He worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on her third album, Trip the Light Fantastic, which was released in 2007.

Dimitri is currently working with up and coming bands The Ghost Frequency, White Rose Movement, Blondelle, Manchester based band, Fear of Music. as well as a Belgium band call Ghinzu. He has also just finished mixing a new album for Lily Electric and wrote the soundtrack for the award winning (sundance 2008) movie by Samuel Benchetrit "I always wanted to be a gangster".
