Mehdi Faveris-Essadi, better known simply as DJ Mehdi, is a hip-hop electro DJ outta Paris, France. Since getting started in the mid ‘90s, Mehdi has knocked down some collabos with Daft Punk, MC Solaar, Chromeo and Busy P, among others. Signed onto French label Ed Banger Records, Mehdi has brought some of the freshest mixes to all corners of the globe. And despite his current touring schedule, Mehdi recently gave some time to Killahbeez to answer some questions we’d been wondering.
You’re mad touring all over Europe right now. How’s that going?
DJ Mehdi: Going very good, thank you. I love touring here in Europe. It’s my home. I never get tired of it. France, U.K., Germany plus Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, so much things to see, so many good people, and the food is usually great. What more could I ask for?

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to link up for lunch with Dave 1 whom I’m sure many of you know is 1/2 of Chromeo, the beloved and infectiously dope electro-funk duo pictured above.
I ordered the grilled chicken panini and a diet Coke, he ordered the smoked turkey wrap and an orange juice - Then I pressed record and the following conversation spanning everything from the beginnings of the band to the current state of hip-hop is what transpired…

New video from the Converse x N.E.R.D. x Santogold x Julian Casablancas collaboration, which we previously posted about back in June. This was a campaign that was done as part of the Converse’s Century celebration. The song will be promoted, in part through Converse print, outdoor and online advertising tagged Three Artists, One Song. The advertising features the three artists as well as a range of emerging musical talent from across the globe, including MGMT, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound, YACHT, Kid Sister, Eleanor Friedberger of the Fiery Furnaces, Frank Carter of Gallows

A bunch of new songs and a remix or two. Yes by now you’ve already heard Kid Sister’s “Pro Nails”, but this Tepr remix is fuckin’ ill. Oh and Jadakiss is baaaaack! Pretty smokin’ joint, keeps it real gritty. As well we gots a new N.E.R.D. joint called “Anti-Matter’ and I have to say this song is hot, if half the album comes at us like this, well then I’ma definitely have to go out and cop this.

Awwwwwww gyeah. Rock The Bells line-up has been announced for this year. Headlining this year will be A Tribe Called Quest, NAS, Mos Def and a grip of other artists as you can see from the flyer above. I had the pleasure of attending last year’s Rock The Bells in New York with Wu-Tang Clan and Rage Against The Machine being the main headliners and I have to say it was easily one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. Off course alot of it had to do with the fact that it was in New York and a lot of these artists were killing it on stage for fam and friends. I’m hoping for Santogold, Kid Sister and Dead Prez for the leg of the tour that hits my city. For more info visit www.guerillaunion.com.
