LiveOne
Dubbed 'the little prince of electro', Mehdi Benjelloun is the wonder-kid producer whose blissful, chilled out beats and distinctly French style of dance music have marked him out as one of the most promising young DJs in Europe. Raised in Rouen, Normandy, Benjelloun grew up playing cello and guitar before he began experimenting with synths at 12-years-old after discovering artists like Bonobo, Shlohmo and Flume. The light, floaty feel to his music attracted the attention of Cosmontro Records, which released his early tracks City Lights and Swaying in 2014; he went on to tour with Seattle chillwave duo Odesza and play at festivals across Europe and North America while on his school holidays. Taking the name Petit Biscuit because of its humble, understated sound, Benjelloun was still only 16 when he posted his breakthrough track Sunset Lover onto SoundCloud, which went on to receive over 12 million listens and become an underground club favourite. He released his first official self-titled EP in May 2016 through the Electro Pose label to great acclaim, and alongside his love of electronica he also plays in synth-rock band Mount Dreams with friend Romain Bauthier aka LUUUL.
