Editor's review
Awesome electro synths and French boys have gone together like Oreos and milk for some time, purportedly due to Daft Punk's early influence. That band's manager invented Ed Banger Records in 2003, a perfect outlet for signee DJ Mehdi. He's a Parisian producer whose Lucky Boy longplayer (2006) included such trendsetting guests as Uffie's DJ, Feadz, graf artist Fafi, and Chromeo ("I Am Somebody"). His stuff sounds a lot like Chromeo's campy dance production, but maybe with a little Mirwais or Playgroup in the mix.
Biography
Signed to ED BANGER RECORDS, DJ Mehdi is about to drop album LUCKY BOY in October 2006. His new single 'I AM SOMEBODY' features vocals from Canada's finest CHROMEO and remixes by KENNY DOPE from the mighty MASTERS AT WORK. The album is described as « 21st century Breakdancing music », exploring the widest meanings of Hip-Hop, and featuring FEADZ (of Uffies fame) and graffiti artist FAFI.
Born, and raised in Paris, DJ Mehdi has been producing major french Hip-hop artists since 1995 while making great noise (and platinum albums) with his bands Ideal J and 113, remixing various electronic acts and composing soundtracks for many french and international films. His resumé mentions collabos with the largest scope, from MC SOLAAR to DAFT PUNK, including KOURTRAJME movie-buffs ('Megalopolis' starring Teki Latex), french sweet-talkers like IAM's AKHENATON or BOOBA, club gangstas CASSIUS, VERSATILE, or SUPER DISCOUNT, globe-trotters ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION, K-OS or GROUP HOME plus legends like FUTURA2000, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, and RYAN McGINNESS.
