DJ Mehdi is a Parisian based hip-hop and electro producer of Tunisian descent.
Hailing from a hip-hop background, he helped bring the funk to French dance music, leading to a home on Ed Banger records and remixing the likes of Cassius, Justice ft. Uffie, New Young Pony Club and Sam Sparro.
His ecstasy-and-ivories opus, "Pocket Piano", was featured on this year's Ed Banger compilation
Ed Rec Vol. 3, and this remix by Joakim is currently doing the business in UK clubs and radio.
Hands aloft for the rave-tastic piano breakdown...
And from last year here's "Signature", remixed by Daft Punk's
Thomas Bangalter himself...
