Santogold - Lights Out (DJ Mehdi Remix)DJ Mehdi! Man, his mixes just make me walk down the street with a big smile on my face. This mix of Santogold's "Lights Out", mixes some chill guitar licks with some of Mehdi's electronic style. I love Mehdi's work, just because I'm not a huge fan of dubstep and heavily electronic remixes. When Mehdi incorporates an electronic aspect into his music, he kno...
