In 1997 i went together with Adam Beyer and Cari Lekebusch to play at the legendary Twilo club in New York. It was a hot summer and i was playing at the beginning of the night. This special techno party was going on until late in the morning and the techno hungry people was crowding together with the gay regulars. 
The DJ booth was nicely set up but not perfect for a techno DJ. The 1200 was sitting on soft springs making it very difficoult to cue and pitch the records without having the needle skipping. There was a UREI rotary mixer with only volume knobs, quiet different from the early techno mixers we used in europe, like the mighty Rodec. Instead, there was a large isolator with bass, mids and highs on the master channel. The sound guy caught me using it and he immediatly told me to stop using it "don't touch that, it's only for Danny [Tenaglia] !". 
I was happy to receive the first 30 min recorded to a cassette tape by a kind soul on Soundcloud. Twilo closed in may 2001 after problems with the authorities who cited expired certificates as a reason for closure.

Have Faith.

From burning CDs as a teenager to captivating dancefloors with his dj sets , Mehdi’s musical journey has been shaped by sonic curiosity and a love of analogue aesthetics. Born in Constantine, raised in Cairo, and later settling in Paris, his sound carries the imprint of cross-continental underground scenes.

Drawn to French Touch at the age of 13, he quickly became fascinated by how tracks were made, first asking his mother, then his teachers, before diving into production courses. This early passion led him to study Music Technology and earn a Master’s in Audio Engineering, all while cutting his teeth as a DJ with CDJ-1000s. The evolution to vinyl mixing soon followed and is now central to his craft.

His music defies rigid definitions but leans into machine-driven topography, built through live jams on hardware sequencers and groove boxes. Every track is different, shaped by instinct rather than formula.

Mehdi’s studio is a playground for hardware lovers, with the Sequentix Cirklon orchestrating a setup that includes the Waldorf Microwave, SH-101, Moog Minitaur, Yamaha RS700. In 2022, he launched his label, Sonic Expression, followed by a year-long collaboration with Ryan Elliott to craft an EP designed for big stages. Now, his journey has reached a new peak— with his Live debut at the seminal venue, Panorama Bar.
