DJ Mehdi gets so cosmic with the synths that it's as if you've woken up in an alternative 1983, where Thatcher's rule has been replaced by that of benevolent aliens. DAZED&CONFUSED, July 2006.
Signed to ED BANGER RECORDS, DJ Mehdi is about to drop album LUCKY BOY in October 2006. His new single 'I AM SOMEBODY' features vocals from Canada's finest CHROMEO and remixes by KENNY DOPE from the mighty MASTERS AT WORK. The album is described as '21st century Breakdancing music' », exploring the widest meanings of Hip-Hop, and featuring FEADZ (of Uffie's fame) and graffiti artist FAFI.
