MOVE

Musicien éclectique à la personnalité chaleureuse, DJ Mehdi a illuminé l’âge d’or du rap français des années 90-2000. Il a donné un « son » aux quartiers populaires avec le tube du groupe 113 « Tonton du bled » et bien d'autres. Mais il a aussi fait des excursions électroniques dans la « french touch » avec Justice ou Daft Punk. Il a donc réconcilié le hip hop et l'électro à une époque où c'était mal vu, voire impossible ! Éditeur du magazine Rockyrama, Johan Chiaramonte s’attache au parcours de Mehdi Faveris Essadi aka DJ Mehdi, trop tôt disparu (à 34 ans !) le 13 septembre 2011. Le podcast va à la rencontre de ceux avec qui il a travaillé, de ses débuts en banlieue à l'âge de 14 ans (Manu Key de Mafia K'1 Fry) à ses complices à Paris : Pedro Winter du label Ed Banger, Romain Gavras de Kourtrajmé, Xavier de Rosnay du groupe Justice, le journaliste rap Arnaud Fraisse, le compositeur et chef d'orchestre Thomas Roussel. Tous participent à remettre son oeuvre en contexte, et surtout donnent à entendre l'originalité du son de DJ Mehdi.

Johan Chiaramonte grandit dans les années 80, ce qui lui permet plus tard, après avoir longuement étudié Pif Gadget et Strange, de créer les revues de cinéma Rockyrama et Otomo. En parallèle il réalise une trentaine de documentaires pour la télévision, toujours sur le cinéma qui semble être son obsession. Amoureux de radio, dès son plus jeune âge il s’endort la radio allumée, de préférence avec des gens qui parlent doucement, et se lance pour la première fois dans le documentaire audio.

L'épilogue est extrait d'un entretien avec DJ Mehdi par Silvain Gire en octobre 2002.

HEY TODAY! "Talk To Me" BUSY P remix

All hail MVSEVM! The next release from MVSEVM comes armed to the teeth with transcendent big room vibes. 

Take the astoundingly punchy "Expectations", which sets things off to an immediate sizzle. Bleeding out with infectious vocals from a world famous singer, it's always teetering on the edge of overheating and causing a dub-techno-meets-throbbing-indie-house-anthem meltdown of sorts. Everything careens towards the four minute mark, at which point the gloves come off and things degenerate into what sounds like a futuristic karaoke party taking place with mutated dolphins at the edge of the Pacific Ocean at the beginning of armageddon, the sky coloured a streaky cotton candy pink and blue. 

Pori Jazz comes out the gate with a sizzling electricity simmering in the some deeply satisfying bassy horns and a trifecta of drums fluctuating over a baseline that's sure to cause a few goosebumps on a decent sound system. It's a slice of house maximalism served up perfectly - recommended highly for fans of early Zombie Disco Squad, Round Table Knights, or any kind of stuff that immediately makes you start stomping and clapping uncontrollably on first listen. 

If Bob Ross from The Joy of Painting dropped peyote and went on a three day spirit quest, it’s very likely that he’d hear something like "Calligraphy" at the peak of his hallucination. A true big room anthem that’s simultaneously focused and wild, careening towards a blindingly bright climax, all rainbows, synth stabs, hands raised in the air, like some mp3 based new age religion based around the concept of 'good vibe synthesis'. The dub version is optional for those who care more about dancing than drawing techniques. 

Finally, Obi Blanche pumps some extra muscle onto Calligraphy's already booming breakdown, something reminiscent of the twerky innovation in Renaissance Man's "Spraycan" except with a gymnasium full of chopped accordians instead of an airhorn. Pushing the original into slightly weirder, darker grounds; it's dance music to make your eyes roll into the back of your head. 

MVSEVM has already garnered big support for their releases from Sinden, Fatboy Slim, Laidback Luke, Fake Blood, Crookers, Riva Starr, Feadz and way more! 

Support Discobelle Records and grab it August 1st. 

MVSEVM is pronounced Museum.

CROOKERS "HIP HOP CHANGED" BUSY P remix

FANCY "What's your name again" BUSY P remix

Today hurts and I know it's going to get worse, how could it not when you lose someone so special, so talented, someone you shared the majority of your life with.

Adrian taught me so much. He single handidly taught me to DJ, I actually had lessons at his house every Friday afternoon when I was 17. Every time I got a mix right he would reward me with a 12", always rap records.

He also taught me to be a friend, to be humble, and most importantly to laugh at myself.

I luckily have a brother I love more than anything in the world but unfortunately I lost another one last night. We all did, he touched so many people in the best way possible - in their hearts.

We used to have this joke "If it doesn't sound right, make it sound more black". I made this track quite a while ago and named it after that. 

This is to the memory of a beautiful person who will be missed by everyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting him, even for a fleeting moment. He was always a gentleman, a true legend, and my friend that is how you will be remembered - as a legend, a dance legend.
