Title: DJ Mehdi reported dead
Post by: bouli77 on September 13, 2011, 06:30:45 AM

Most probably don't know who he is, but those familiar with French rap and European house music are familiar with this legendary producer. Dude was only 34. RIP

"Reports are streaming in across the internet tonight that French DJ, producer and musician DJ Mehdi has died at the unfortunately young age of 34. As difficult as that is to believe, message sent across Twitter from Mehdi’s DJ peers seem to lend credence to the sad news.

While we wait for an official statement from Ed Banger and DJ Mehdi’s management a lone French news outlet has published their own report confirming the DJ’s death, and with the assistance of Google Translate it alleges that the well loved Frenchman died from “an accident”.

At this stage that’s all the information that inthemix has to go upon and we will update this story with any further information that comes to hand confirming or debunking the distressing news of Mehdi’s passing.

Working regularly as a DJ, producer and remixer before finding international acclaim as an integral member of Pedro Winter’s Ed Banger label roster, DJ Mehdi released his Lucky Boy album in 2006 before kicking off the Carte Blanche collaboration with Riton, with which he championed a return to classic house sounds. He was due to play in Australia this summer as a part of the Summadayze and Summafieldayze festival tours"

Ed Banger fan over here.
I can't believe it man. A Trak is torn up about it and so are others like Riton, Kavinsky etc.
Just so sad.
Guy was so cheerful and full of life.
