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)!

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."
She added:
"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...
As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
