Hey Boppers.

First up, I’d like to post this special mix tape that DJ Mehdi had made a few years ago. It was only available on a limited pressing of promo cds. As a remembrance of DJ Mehdi, Busy P aka Pedro Winter, has now made it available to the world online so everyone can enjoy it.

Mehdi’s own description of this tape, “Based on the DONUTS [by J Dilla] album concept, these are demos, out-takes and unreleased gems from various records I worked on before and during the making of LUCKY BOY, my next album.”

Continuing our Ed Banger theme is a cut by Busy P. The man who’s brought us a lot of great music over the years. Check it out here, its called Rainbow Man.

Also, thanks for the support I’ve received on my EP 1997. Thanks to everyone who’s bought it.

If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out here on Beatport.

‘Til next time!

Word up Boppers.

This week we have one French electro classic and a classic disco house jam.

First up is DJ Mehdi’s first “big” track, I Am Somebody, which was also his first release on Ed Banger Records. Also starring in this great party jam is Chromeo, providing hot vocals and additional production. This post particularly features the “Paris” version which has slightly different instrumentation at the end of the track compared to the “Montreal” version.

Finally, we have this big disco House tune by Room 5 aka Junior Jack. It features 2 samples, one for the vocal and one for the instrumental. This is a nice fun track to drop in a set for that instant “House” feeling. Its nice and accessible.

Room 5 – Think About U

Till next time!

Loud & Quiet’s interview of Erol Alkan

loud quiets interview w erol alkan erolalkan6 Loud & Quiets interview of Erol Alkan

A message to the Producers of today from Erol Alkan:

“The reason Chemical Brothers (and Daft Punk) have had the success they’ve had is through their subtlety, their detail – it’s not mindless. Not to dismiss the current scene, but there is stuff that has got a bit too hard and a bit too mindless – if we’re not careful we’re only a few steps from Hard House or stuff like that. Let’s bring some funk back, let’s not just bang our heads on walls!”- Erol Alkan (An excerpt from an amazing interview found on Loud & Quiet dot com (Loudandquiet.com). [read full interview here].

This interview was full of many great quotes and to say the very least it was informative. Included in the interview is a recap on Erol’s achievements, as well as the moments leading up to and his latest collaboration project with Boys Noize. Which in September we’ve all heard the recent encounter Death Suite/Waves, but in the interview Erol Alkan prepares us for more! ““We’ve [Boys Noize & Erol] got about 10 unfinished tracks that we’re working on together,” confirms Erol.”-Loud & Quiet. The interview also talks about Erol’s first booking of Alex Ridha (Boys Noize) The interview also gives the curious readers an insight of the process that takes place when two great solo artist get in the laboratory together and make music! I definitely give this interview a 5/5 and recommend all Bopper check it out and leave comments on their page!
