Free Download: DJ Mehdi & Chromeo "I Am Somebody"

It is Disco Friday, and this Friday couldn't get any better with "I Am Somebody" by DJ Mehdi & Chromeo. This is one helluva funked up, '80s inspired synth jive that was made to pump through the speakers of your local roller disco. The track is taken from Ed Banger's new compilation album "Ed Rec Volume 1."

Since its inception in 2003, Ed Bangers has been on the forefront of the hip and happening French electro scene. The label was founded by Pedro Winter, the long time manager of Daft Punk, to introduce French dance music to a larger audience. Winter hasn't been too picky. His roster ranges from trashy electroclash to glossy pop tunes. Some of you might remember Uffie's "Pop The Glock" that was first released by Ed Banger.

"Ed Rec Volume 1" celebrates some of the best that Ed Banger has put out so far. Tracks included are "Rader Rider" (Mr Flash), "Dolami" (Sebastian), "Waters Of Nazareth" (Justice), "Pop The Glock" (Uffie) and "Bongo Song" (Zongamin). The totally guilt-free MP3 download of DJ Mehdi's "I Am Somebody" is featured on the the record as well. Stream samples of "Ed Rec Volume 1" here. (Thanks to the folks at VICE/Ed Banger for allowing me to post this track.)
