While we celebrate the audacious path of DJ Mehdi, the pioneer of bridging French rap and electronic scenes, it's surprising to think that 20 years ago, it was like a badly coordinated dance move in a nightclub!
Booba, the Maestro of Musical Mutation
It seems that yesterday's reflection is becoming today's outlook. Booba, the rap godfather shaking up streaming charts, is diving into a new project that would make even turntables blush. In a post-performance interview at the Golden Coast festival, he revealed his plan to create a label focused on House Music. Talk about a trailblazer!
“At 47, judging the success of a hit has never been so compelling, especially when Diplo spins your remix!”
Remixes to Groove
Speaking of his recent hit “Dolce Camara”, Booba even got a bit emotional… one wonders if he diced an onion before hitting the stage! With two electro remixes of the song released this year, our friend Booba isn’t letting the passing years get him down. Who would have thought that the Duke, with a rap flow as strong as a tidal wave, would be ready to swap his mic for turntables?
- Brilliant Idea: The notion of launching a House label with a mixed band of French and American X-Men could break the dance floor wide open!
- No Joking: Booba’s energy is still off the charts, and don’t forget — he's been around longer than some vintage vinyl!
- To Sum Up: This isn't just rap; it’s a new era where House and electro collide with the sound of the 92!
“Between house and electro, I don’t choose, I do both!”
The Swan Song of Grime
Not the first to step off the beaten path, Booba isn’t alone in making this leap into the unknown. Take Skepta, for instance, the English rapper who, after shaking up grime, now serves up House sets in Ibiza. We know the dance floor is waiting, just like the entire electro world. What are we waiting for? The album "Dancing with the Stars"?
