On The Floor - Live at Club Bonsoir, Bern
DJ Mehdi
Ed Banger, Paris
Hailing from the northwestern suburbs of Paris, Hauts-de-Seine (literally "Seine Heights") and of a Tunisian background, Mehdi came up in the Parisian hip hop scene. Originally DJ and producer for crews like Different Teep (ex-group of Manu Key & Lil Jahson), Ideal J and the Maffia K' 1 Fry, he's gone on to become a veritable poster boy for the post-minimal generation as one of the Ed Banger posse, a collective of electronic artists and DJs carrying on the legacy of French artists like Daft Punk and Cassius, but mashing it up into something even more fractured and hedonistic. DJ Mehdi's trademark are Ed Banger dubs with more layers of synths than a mille feuille, and bass drums that pack more kick than a mule and a boule. Recheck this remark with Mehdi's blockrocking set at Bern's Club Bonsoir.
