Lifelike & A-Trak release ‘Don’t Stop,’ Gigamesh, Mauvais Cliché, The Bloody Sisters hop on remix train
We've come to associate French producer Lifelike with fellow countrymen Alan Braxe, the late DJ Mehdi, Justice, and Daft Punk and known he's been working on his debut artist album, Future Disco, for quite some time now. With Kitsune Maison's release of the first single off the album "Don't Stop" as a remix package we now get our first tasty bits of this disco-techno goodness. A-Trak's ever-skillful turntablism complements Lifelike's on-point French electro-disco production. The remix duties go to Minnesotan Gigamesh (who manages to give the track even more of a vintage feel) as well as Parisians Mauvais Cliche and The Bloody Sisters. If that wasn't enough, the EP release also includes club and extended mixes. Check out a sampling below.
Today we remember DJ Mehdi, January 20th 1977 – September 13th 2011
One year ago today, the dance music community was rocked by the tragic loss of one of its brightest stars and most charismatic personalities. Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, known to most as DJ Mehdi, was an eclectic DJ/Producer with deep roots in house and hip hop culture. A true artist behind the decks, Mehdi's mixing was unique and unpredictable - testament to both his impeccable ear and his tactical finesse.
