DJ Mehdi: Made in France
This remarkable six-episode documentary miniseries brings viewers along for a deep-dive celebration tracing the legacy and enduring influence of DJ Mehdi, a generational talent who successfully bridged the worlds of hip-hop and electronic dance music in his too-brief 34 years.
Q&A with Thibaut de Longeville on March 9
The runtime includes a 15 minute intermission.
A key figure of French music in the last 30 years, DJ Mehdi bridged the worlds of hip-hop and electronic dance music in his too-brief 34 years, mirroring the French music industry’s journey from stagnation to unprecedented heights of international prominence and success. Directed by one of his closest friends, this remarkable six-episode documentary miniseries is a deep-dive treat for music fans and the uninitiated alike. Getting his start as a child prodigy who built his own sampler in early adolescence, Mehdi was launched to prominence as a DJ for the rap group Ideal J when he was just 13—an appropriately meteoric origin story for a generational talent. Bringing viewers along for a detailed celebration of his legacy and his enduring influence on musicians across genres, ranging from foundational hip-hop group 113 to mega dance stars Justice, DJ Mehdi: Made in France also tells a larger story about how rap broke out of the banlieue to reshape the national cultural landscape.
