DJ Mehdi On The Creators Project

**Click Image To Watch Video**

We have yet another great mini-documentary/interview by the collaboration between Vice Magazine and Intel we all know: The Creators Project. This time they bring you a bit closer to the mind of one Paris most talented DJ/Producer. In this bit DJ Mehdi talks about the evolution of his career (right about the beginning of Carte Blanche), as well as the democratization of music through the existence of more accessible and affordable technology and tools for producers.

Bonus!

Take a second to enjoy a bizarre video made by Romain Gavras for Signatune: produced by DJ Mehdi and edited by no other but Thomas Bangalter. Enjoy:

Carte Blanche's House Party

Yeah, first post on the new blog! Sorry its taken so long to get a post up, starting a new blog during finals is probably not the best idea. Oh well. Hope all you loyal fans out there like the changes we made to our blog. As always any feedback is welcome. To kick off our new blog and summer we have the killer House Party mix from the duo comprised of DJ Mehdi and Riton, otherwise know as Carte Blanche. This mix was released by the group a few weeks ago to promote their new and debut EP Black Billionaires. The EP is the set to be released on Ed Banger records May 31st and is set to ring in the Summer in true Ed Banger form with club crushers like Gare du Nord (check out the new retro-dope video for Gare du Nord here). The EP was mixed by French house and electro legend Alex Gopher and is continuing Ed Bangers' recent string of superb releases. Grab the mix and a few new tracks off the EP and kick off your summer house parties off right!

Carte Blanche - Black Billionaires

Club 75 plays Dubstep!?!?

Let me start by saying how truly epic Coachella 2010 looked. I've been so upset I couldn't make the annual pilgrimage out to Indio, CA for Coachella. And the fact I've missed some of the killer acts that have rolled thru PDX on their way down to the festival (A.K.A. Yeasayer, Miike Snow, The XX) thanks to a little thing called school, drives me fucking insane. So if you are in my boat and all you can do is bitch and moan about missing Proxy slaying it at noon and scour the internet to jack off to Deadmau5 shutting down the Sahara Tent with some of the illist visuals ever, then don't watch these videos of supergroup Club 75. Otherwise, enjoy!

The Ed Banger Crew of Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Gaspard Augé, So Me and legends Cassius drop "Ice Cream" by Borgore and then "Sweet Shop" by Doctor P. My mind is blown!

Doctor P - Sweet Shop

Xavier De Rosnay the other half of Justice, besides Augé, supposedly couldn't make it out of France due to the volcanic activity in Iceland. So, if the first transition between Stress and Aerodynamic is a little awkward forgive Gaspard as I've never seen him on a CDJ before and I think he's more of a producer and musician than a DJ. Whatever, this set is so sick, the Cassius 1999 Remix at the end of the above video is so tight. Club 75 dominates, it's a supergroup of some of Frances most influential producers... who are all friends... partying and playing out their music. Check out part 3 of these videos here, where they throw down We Are Your Friends. And grab the Cassius 1999 Remix and Cassius' new remix for the Booka Shade track Bad Love. Also, more music from Ed Banger friend Jackson and His Computer Band who remix of the ex-Ed Banger, Kavinsky's tune "Pacific Coast Highway".

Kavinsky - Pacific Coast Highway (Jackson Remix)

Cassius - Cassius 1999 (Cassius Remix)

Booka Shade - Bad Love (Cassius Remix)
