Looks like the whole Ed Banger/Coolcats/Club75/Carte Blanche community is on a little break right now, so imma try to keep you updated in a concise but effective fashion—

While I’ll be rocking RECLAIM THE DANCEFLOOR with Riton on Wednesday the 28th at EDEN/IBIZA, the big jump-off takes place at SOCIAL SUMMER CLUB (aka Le Plaza) all night long with my comrade Brodinski, watch this:

Word to Lionel Richie—

Apart from that, you may ask, what’s going on?

Well, you guys know there’s always something happening in CARTE BLANCHE world, ie. a few remixes in the oven right now, and this bootleg Gare Du Nord Video, jacked by Wilson and Msa—

Taking Care of Business.

Keeping It Moving.

Pleasure No Limit.

CARTE BLANCHE and CLUB 75 are my 2010 main courses, and boy, hungry I am.

Breaking it down once again:
-CARTE BLANCHE is the House-Music project I’ve been working on with my british pal RITON. Our EP will be out on Ed Banger on MAY 31st. It features Kid Sister on one track, it’s engineered by big bass master Alex Gopher, it’s dope. We’ll be touring worldwide in May, June and July. We jack to the sound of the underground.

-CLUB 75 is the so-called ‘DJ supergroup’ of JUSTICE + CASSIUS + BUSY P + me, DJ MEHDI. We’re deejaying all together, 10 hands on the decks, no order, just disorder. We’re only doing few shows a year, just for fun and the love of techno (seriously!). Our next stop is the COACHELLA FESTIVAL in Califormia, this Sunday in the Sahara Tent. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this.

Soon soon soon,

M.

Peeps,

About to close this bumpy Autumn sequence of Death Suite Edit, to Uniqlo, to Black Black and Black mixtape, to BBC Essential Mix, to Red Black and Blue remix compilation, not to mention the Prince. It’s been an interesting ride, and I want to conclude it with these two bits:

-First, some of you already guessed it, but this XXXX track 4 off of the Black podcast is none other than my remix for UFFIE’s ‘Pop The Glock’. Actually, it was more of an edit than a remix per se, and we couldn’t clear the sample, that’s why we had to block it from release. But, because I like you peeps, and because I’m nice like that, and because who cares?, here it is, uncensored and uncut: UFFIE ‘Pop The Glock’ Mehdi’s Casco Edit

-Second, I am now officially OFF TOURING, and I won’t be playing any gigs until May 2010 – with a few exceptions here and there, one being that amazing lined-up party for New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles with my colleagues A-TRAK and BOYS NOIZE. Yes!

I wish you all more bounce, to the ounce,

Mehdi.

My peoples,

I feel good today, word to James Brown.

This is the 100th post I write for this blog, and for you dear readers. According to the men from G.O.O.G.L.E, you peeps are always more and more to connect to Coolcats, and the numbers are growing. I also take this opportunity to thank all the bloggers who spread the BLACK BLACK AND BLACK mixtape, your support is much appreciated.

Couple of things I want to plug you onto:

First, this new release from our Australian cousins the BANG GANG DEEJAYS:

Second, this funny video of DUCK SAUCE’s hit, ‘aNYway’. When the music is good, I guess the bottle service Ministry Of Sound irony works, right? Right.

Peace to Jamie-Gus-Ajax-and-Danny Dan and to my cousin A-Trak.

Keep it 1 hundred,

Mehdi.

Peeps,

Hope you had a good weekend – not just because I did. I really mean it.

I have a new addition to my ‘Favourite Clubs In The World’ list.

It’s called THE FUSE, it’s in BRUSSELS, and I probably was the latest mofo on earth to get hip to this beautiful place.

I had an amazing gig there on friday night, I want to thank everybody that came down, and the FormaT crew for teaching me about real belgian clubbing since 2006.

Next stop, Thessaloniki, Greece, for:

Oh, and about Jay-Z.

I kinda felt weird today. Watching the Madison Square Garden show, I had goose bumps 14 times, chanted all along and went through pure pride moments when my peeps Santi and Cudi rocked the stage. Also, that ‘Already Home’ track is growing on me, big time. Hell with a new Blueprint, all you need sometimes is to bump a Hova song to feel good great. Now watch this, and salute:

NEW YORK CITY, I LOVE YOU,

MEHDI.
