In November Sébastien Léger is going to showcase what his label – Mistakes Music – is all about. He’s going to do it with a digital only album consisting of 11 tracks. Each tune - except 'Sun' - has been named after a planet in our solar system.
Mistakes Music acts as an outlet for Sébastien’s own music. The label itself is named after Sébastien's "ad lib" approach to producing records, whereby the final mix down and arrangement on each track has in fact been achieved by a happy accident or "mistake" as he modestly puts it. Launching earlier this year with ‘Pluto’ & ‘Saturn’ and following in quick succession with ‘Mercury’ & ‘Mars’, it was easy to see from the amazing reactions and excellent sales that this label had been eagerly awaited by music fans across the world. With its wide ranging and genre defying grooves, crossing between house, electro, techno and progressive, it is fast becoming something of a respected imprint.
But lets be clear about one thing – This is not an artist album says Sébastien. This is a club oriented album. It is fun, groovy, melodic, spacey, punchy, emotional, crazy and lovely (like me). He offers with a smirk.
A breath of fresh air perhaps in this era when genres no longer apply to DJ sets, there are many facets to Sébastien Léger which are apparent in this album, and the one thing that is evident is his unquestionable passion for house music, in all its glorious forms. Billed as the new Jacques Lu Cont (except that he is a real Frenchman) you can expect to hear Seb’s tracks everywhere… from Pete Tong to Mark Knight to Eddie Halliwell to D Ramirez. As a remixer Sébastien is equally prolific with remixes for Justin Timberlake, Groove Armada and Ali Love.
In 1998 Sébastien published his first EPs under the alias Deaf'n'Dumb Crew. In the years that followed Sébastien released more than 50 records on many international labels, building his reputation as a key player within the new blood of talented producers.
