A unifying album in the image of Ed Banger Records productions and its weasel-headed creator Pedro Winter, Lucky Boy was born to break down the barriers between rap and electro and succeed in merging the visceral and the cerebral. What sounds on paper like an impossible challenge turns into a high-class wedding with this second album by DJ Mehdi - with the exception of the collaboration with Kourtrajmé (Des Friandises Pour Ta Bouche). It is this crossbreeding that shapes his music. The audience of the different musical genres he blends comes together in this explosive mix. Tracks like "I Am Somebody" or "Signature" allow DJ Mehdi to emerge from the Ed Banger stable and establish himself as a full-fledged DJ, turning his background (his training as a rapper) into a driving force. An international success that allows him to spin records on turntables around the world, from London to Melbourne, via Tokyo and Los Angeles. Aware of his good fortune, DJ Mehdi now collaborates with the biggest names such as Daft Punk or Asian Dub Foundation. A sure sign: he opened for DJ Shadow at the Elysée-Montmartre. Classy.
