I have been a fan of Sebastien Leger for a while now. I first wrote about his remix of Manson, The People last September.

Even before that I did a quick tech blog post showing him mixing some stuff in Ableton for his live show. In fact it sounds very similar to this song Plik Plok.

I really love the minimal feel of this. It still has very prominent sonic elements; this song fills your speakers out! What’s great about this song is its very DJ friendly. If you love electronic music this is the type of track you could play as a loop in your set and add SO much in terms of effects. Reverbs, Delays and a few glitch and volume modulation effects and you’ve got a banging live remix of this track . . . in the right hands of course!

There is a huge bass line that might get in the way. If you killed the bass all that would be left would be the high pitched pattern, instant DJ TOOL! Also, the did I mention that the percussion sounds really great?

What more can I say, Seb Leger tu l’avez fait trés bien!

Check out the song on YouTube below and support this artist on Beatport, iTunes etc! (and the audiophile in me also screams; BUY THE WAV not the MP3!! but thats a whole other problem)

Updated with YouTube video:

For the past few years I have been having new years parties at my house in Ottawa. This year I had a two hour set planed in Ableton Live with a couple underground remixes I was working on.

The first one is is my LTWB 2010 remix. This song is originally by Laidback Luke, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell and Steve Angello but I felt it needed something more. The was actually sub-ing (pun intended!) in a new bass line and mixing some drums as well as including a chord progression from another remix of the song.

Enjoy

Sebastien Leger brought the house down at this 2008′s Creamfields in the Czech Republic. And I’m not just using a figure of speech.

“The gig was going really well but the weather was terrible,” he recalls. “Suddenly the wind ripped the roof off and then the speakers collapsed almost on top of me. It was a nightmare!” The rest of the event had to be canceled and luckily nobody was injured. Leger and many caught the incident on cameras and the footage is now on YouTube.

You can check out footage of the event below:

Here is a version with better audio from Leger’s own camera:
