Get to know Djebali, one of the new stars of the Paris house scene

“I get so many supportive emails and messages, I just wish I had the time to reply to them all!” says Mehdi Djebali. The 32-year-old Parisian producer has picked up a large and loyal following over the course of his career, particularly over the last couple of years thanks to the steady flow of high quality house productions he’s been behind, largely on his own label. “The new generation from Paris are all so talented and the level of production is so high that I’m honoured to be seen as one of the city’s new ‘stars’,” he says.

As a youngster Djebali was a French hip hop fanatic, and learned to DJ with a friend who was into ultra-fast hardcore music. In order to come to a compromise with the music they practiced with, Djebali and his friend picked up house records to play, and his love affair with the music began. He was soon recording every radio show hosted by his hero (and now friend) Dan Ghenacia, eagerly hunting down the tunes he heard and adding them to his growing collection.
