DJ Mehdi and Riton are Carte Blanche


The two have been making noise on either side of the English Channel for quite some time. Riton has been pushing his brand of bass heavy house since the days of electroclash in the UK while DJ Mehdi has been pushing his EQ to strange new territories for the French based Ed Banger.

Their new EP, Black Billionaires, is a massive statement with beats to spare. Theres not a second wasted on this lean, mean release - each track was built for the peak-time floor hours.

Title track "Black Billionaires" is a hott mess barreling through a crowd at top speed. Opening with an aggressive four-to-the-floor beat the track skips along with b-boy swagger. Not that its begging for 80s nostalgia either - these guys build modern, efficient club music with attitude. A slap bass riff that sounds like cocaine personified drops before the 30 second mark and doesn't let up for the rest of the track. Turn it up, get crazy
