DJ MEHDI Vinyl & CDs

Review: If this heavy-hitting collection of previously unreleased cuts was meant as a kind of Ed Banger relaunch, it more than achieves its stated aim. Curated and mixed together by label bosses Busy P and DJ Mehdi, Let The Children Techno! is a joyous romp through rainbow-coloured dancefloor pastures. From start to finish, it exudes a smiley confidence that's truly infectious. With established names queuing up to offer bold, brash and occasionally brilliant contributions, it's packed with quality gear. From the disco-flecked dubstep-pop of Skream's "Boat Party" and hip-hop bounce of Busy P's "Procrastinator" to the shimmering beauty of Flying Lotus, bowel-bothering thump of Riton and tongue-in-cheek electro-funk of Breakbot, it oozes fun from start to finish.
