DJ Mehdi has tragically died in an accident in Paris at the age of 34. (DJ Mag)
I once watched DJ Mehdi tear up a stage with his dance moves while DJing with A-Trak in Crawdaddy, Dublin a few years ago. I had never seen a DJ so in love with the songs he was playing that it went right into his very being and could not be contained. His eyes lit up, his smile beamed and his body was forced to move in sheer bliss. He was an absolute dude. My thoughts are with his wife and family. Watch him and Busy P whip a 2008 Button Factory crowd up:
