DJ MEHDI (Electro/House - FR)
Famous in recent years for his frenzied DJ sets with his Ed Banger sidekicks, DJ Mehdi was originally active within the hip-hop movement, DJ for Ideal J and producer for Assassin, MC Solaar and the 113. After meeting the future Cassius, he discovered house and the family tie that unites electronic music and hip-hop. Since then, DJ Mehdi has endeavoured to bring these two musical trends closer together. With one project after another, he released his first album Espion in 2002, made a notable appearance in 2004 on the compilation Superdiscount 2 alongside Etienne de Crécy and was back in 2005 with the record Des Friandises Pour Ta Bouche. One year later and after joining Pedro Winter and his crew, DJ Mehdi delivered Lucky Boy, a record with a funky electro feeling aimed at making people dance with hits like Signatune, Pony Rocking and I am somebody.
