This morning, we learned that French producer Mehdi Faveris-Essadi, otherwise known as DJ Mehdi, passed away at 34-years-old due to an "accident."
DJ Mehdi is a big name in the French electro/house scene, and he's worked with many well-known artists including Chromeo, Miike Snow, and Architecture in Helsinki.
Recently, Mehdi's single Signatune was reworked by Daft Punk'sThomas Bangalter, selling 9,000 downloads in the U.S.
Mehdi leaves behind his wife Fafi, who is a renowned French graffiti artist.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mehdi's wife, and his other loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
And it brings a whole new meaning to our favorite Tracy Jordan quote: "I love it so much I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant!"
LOLz!
Check out the just-released music video for Chromeo's latest single, When The Night Falls, off of the album Business Casual (above)!
The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!
Give it a listen (above)!
Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!
He explains:
“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”
