Sexuality Remixed
Back in April, Sebastien Tellier dropped a remix album of his acclaimed Sexuality album. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a good quality of penguin prison‘s remix of fingers of steel for a while now. Unfortunately it has only been available in Europe up until now. I’m a big fan of the original album and there have been some amazing remixes the likes of Boys Noize, Floating Points, Breakbot, Aeroplane, A-Trak, Moullinex, Danger, etc. etc. They’re all collected here. Universe recently dropped a nice remix of Kilometer, though I still think the Moulinex remix is my favorite. The floating points remix is an epic journey though the grey undefinable area of UK Funky/Garage. Floating Points has some big songs this year. It sounds like Tellier will be dropping a new album later on this year. I’m interested to see where he takes it, and how its received. Sexuality was a huge hit in his home country of France and produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (half of Daft Punk). There’s something about the pop sensibilty of Divine that still makes me smile.
L’Amour et La Violence (Floating Points Remix)
Sebastien Tellier – Fingers of Steel (Penguin Prison)
Sebastien Tellier – La Ritournelle
Some Current favorites. Memory Tapes has really been surprising me lately, and going in a very different but intriguing direction. Seems like some of the time his spent in Europe and the UK may have rubbed off a little, check his remix off the new Boy 8 Bit ep., and the Chapel Club remix. I’m really enjoying the percussion and tone changes he’s made. He’s always done a good job of working in his different interests and incorporating previous styles.
