A-Trak & DJ Mehdi talks Turntablism, Hip-hop and Daft Punk | Red Bull Music Academy

In the second half of the 2000s, Canadian turntable wizard A-Trak and the late French DJ and producer Mehdi became one of the best known and loved DJing duo. Riding high on the popularity of electro and the French touch, the pair took everything they’d learnt in the trenches of hip-hop culture - from selecting to scratching, sampling to producing - and applied it to both records and club sets with irresistible flair.
In this lecture at the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy, the duo explained how and why they broke away from the restrictions of hip-hop, how they adapted to the digital age and how to rock a party and still maintain integrity.
