Has this record been put back? I have a 28th of May date here. I guess there is a lot more buzz about Ed Banger in general then there was 6 months ago. Quick check... ahah this has been released with a 'At Night' Tag on it with a couple more mixes.

 

If my memory serves me correctly we have an quick interview with him here. If you can’t be bothered to read that link: Mehdi is a Paris-based Electro Hip Hop producer. He is the cousin of one of the guys in Justice and likes Prince and is a sucker for Kanye West.

 

Lucky Boy has a mix of tunes that stand by themselves and breaks that need to go in a larger mix of what ever crazy buttons your going to pressing in the club.  Busy Being Born – Odd opener a chillout number very laid back barely noticed it.

 

I Am Somebody. 80’s groove complete with some robot backing vocals and keyboard solo. There is a an Old School remix tagged on the end of the album.

Signatune - Warm up the light rigs… Turn on the smoking screens take out the dayglo sticks as Nu Rave as it gets. I hate that term Nu Rave. As most of it I have heard is French and sounds like it could have been made by Daft Punk. Why not call it French Electro.

 

Lucky Girl A lovely vocal descending in to a big beat. A lot of space for an MC on top of this track.  Lucky Boy the title track is a good stomper of a cycle.

 

After a while you realise that this album as none of them really have anything but incidental vocals and not a great deal of melody. Definitely enough to be worked around.

 

I think the album somehow feels like a blank MunnyReally cool but needs some of your own work to make individual therefore really uber cool and your own work.

 

This can be seen on the remix’s example being Outlines doing a remix of the Lucky girl. Suddenly the track blossoms into a catchy sing along song on a great founding.
