This week we're bringing, STRAIGHT FROM FRANCE, Ed Banger's DJ MEHDI. Production-wise, he cranks out huge club anthems such as 'Signatune' and that incredible collab with chromeo, 'I am Somebody', but DJ-ing in a club setting is where he really shines. We're also bringing Toronto's Johnny Hockin to spin an opening set. He's an MTV VJ by day and club-destroying DJ by night, so be prepared for a solid night of sweaty dance madness.

-------------------------------------------
Being recognised for his efforts and budding into one of the French underground hip hop music scene’s premier producers, since then he has pushed the boundary’s by mixing hip hop and electronic music. Collaboration with such notable artists of the likes of Daft Punk, Cassius, MC Solaar, Futura 2000, Asian Dub Foundation and Chromeo among others. “Coming from a rap music background, it’s always nice to collaborate within other music genres…Paris is very inspiring because a lot of people are making great stuff, music and in other arts related fields also. My music and philosophies revolve around beats and blues, that’s how I would try to describe it.”

Signing to cross-genre label Ed Banger Records, Mehdi and Pedro Winter (aka Busy P) were working on various disco-hop sounds the two as far back as 1997. Together they hosted a very successful monthly night at former Paris nightspot Pulp. “I like to be the DJ, I love it so much. I love to try new things. You would never get into this business to be bored, or you would hope not.”

Mehdi released his first full-length LP in 2002 (The Story of Espion), and his second successive album, Lucky Boy, in August 2006. With the popularity of cross genre hip hop into such areas as indie and electronic music, popularized by Timbaland and other labels from the United States in more recent years, Lucky Boy assisted to bridge the gap between dance genres.

-------------------------------------------
What can I say, he's torn it up in clubs all over Toronto, co-founded and runs one of the hottest monthliest in Toronto (More Proof), produces his own cutting edge blend of dance music and still has time to live up to the demands of being an MTV VJ. As they say, no rest for the wicked.
