- KARISMA PODCAST 011 : DAVID MENDO -

Né à Genève en 1976 et d’origine espagnole, David Mendo a débuté sa carrier de DJ dès 15 ans. Très inspiré par la culture ibérique, son style musical s’est très vite fait remarqué.

Lorsque le célèbre producteur et DJ George Morel le contacte, Mendo signe sur son label Groove On, basé à Miami, et sort sur ce label les titres ‘Do It’, ‘Everybody I Got Him’. Morel et Mendo deviennent alors associés aussi bien dans la production que sur le label.

Début 2002 son single ‘Tell Me’ avec la participation de la chanteuse Christie K. arrive en tête sur DJ Mag, fameux magazine anglais consacré à la culture électronique, comme sur les charts Suburbia de Radio Italia Networks.

Mendo travaille également avec un ami de longue date, Chab, et a remixé un de ses morceaux sur son label Imago Records.

Il a signé trois morceaux sur Stereo Productions, dont le hit ‘Watermelon’, meilleure vente du label.

Naît ainsi en 2003 Clarisse Records par la collaboration de Chab et Mendo, et le titre ‘Play Me With Your Sound’ est acclamé par les plus grands dont Roger Sanchez qui le fait signer sur son label Stealth Records. Un remix de ce morceau est d’ailleurs produit par le duo Chus & Ceballos.

Dès lors Mendo sort régulièrement des morceaux sur Clarisse Records. Tom Stephan, Kamisshake et Richie Santana ont travaillé à la notoriété du label.

Cadenza Records signe en 2009 “Remember EP”, qui a fait beaucoup d’émules: Luciano le joue souvent, et le public le reconnaît tres vite lors de grosses prestations.
