On today’s arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Thibaut de Longeville, director of the award-winning documentary series “DJ Mehdi: Made in France”. The French-Tunisian producer was one of the rare musicians to unite the worlds of hip-hop and electro as well as being synonymous with the Ed Banger label – the pioneers of the “French Touch” movement. DJ Mehdi passed away in September 2011 after a tragic accident; he was only 34 years old. The six-part documentary series weaves together archival footage, first-hand accounts from loved ones and musicians to form a rich tapestry that was the life of DJ Mehdi.
