Biography

Born, raised and based 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 motherfuckers (‘Sheitan’ and ‘Megalopolis’ starring Tekilatex), french sweet-talkers like IAM’s AKHENATON, BOOBA or ROHFF, club gangstas CASSIUS, VERSATILE, or SUPER DISCOUNT, globe-trotters ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION, K-OS or GROUP HOME plus legends like FUTURA2000, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, and CAROLE KING. Signed to Pedro Winter’s ED BANGER RECORDS, he has released his first full-length LP in 2002 (‘The Story of ESPION’ Virgin), and is about to drop LUCKY BOY around April 2006. New single ‘I AM SOMEBODY’ features vocals from Canada’s finest CHROMEO and remixes by KENNY DOPE from the mighty MASTERS AT WORK. Resident DJ at Paris’ legendary PULP club and on Radio FG, he now tours all around with BUSY P and JUSTICE (as CLUB 75).
