2015 repress. Deluxe gatefold double LP version with a free CD of the entire album. SebastiAn has followed such an impressive path, that it's hard to believe that he's only now releasing his long-awaited debut album. But the facts are clear: here it is, after several EPs (H.A.L, Smoking Kills, Ross Ross Ross, Motor), a record compiling his many remixes for Daft Punk, Kelis and The Kills among others and a co-production of the soundtrack for the film Steak with Sebastien Tellier and Mr. Oizo, in which he also played one of the leading roles. Ever-elusive, he unveiled yet another side of his creativity in composing a philharmonic score for Notre Jour Viendra, Romain Gavras' first film. One of the creators, along with Justice, of the Ed Banger sound, he is without a doubt the label's most unusual figure. An iconoclast maverick, he readily defies the rules to deliver a dirty and violent kind of techno that coughs and spits; music to his image: human and visceral. Super prolific and constantly effervescent, this musician has managed, in the space of a few years, to redefine electronic music and is ready to astound everyone once again with Total, a definitive and meteoric first album. Featuring contributions from M.I.A and Mayer Hawthorne.
