A quick Q&A with Sebastien Leger...
How old are you:
29 and I'm SebastiEn , no 'tian'
Favorite movie:
Blood Diamond - Seven
Favorite band:
Jamiroquai - Michael Jakson (not a band but anyway)
What do you listen to when you are not producing or Djing:
90% of electronic dance music (house-techno), rest might be some more funk music.
What techy gadget can't you live without? Not a big fan of gadget, absolutely useless, but can't leave without my computer... indeed
How did you get started in Djing:
Oh that's a long story ! But the short version is I started at the age of 14 in my bed room and got my first residency in a club at 15 !
Since your parents are both professional musicians, how do they feel about you following a career in Electronic music:
Not sure they really get my music, my mother think I'm doing concert ! My father is very proud, he kinda did the same job as me, but in classical music, doing concert almost every day :
What was your first official gig:
Exepted my residency when I was 15, I would say it was probably a rave party in the middle of nowhere in France, as at that time, that was pretty much it for our music, not much clubs... probably in 1995-1996...
Where did you grow up and where are you living now? What's the best part about where you live:
I grew up in so many different cities, I never had a base longer than 4 years... I even lived 4 years in New Caledonia, that small French island in the pacific ocean, near Australia. But I now I'm living in Amsterdam, its great there, nice city, nice people, very central in Europe so handy for a guy who takes airplanes every weeks.
What can the Chicago fans expect from your gig at Spybar:
As my first music roots come from Chicago, I guess I'll play some of my funkier grooves, but some what I could called 'modern house music'. It also depends on the crowd as usual ! And I will also drop some of my new unreleased stuff too of course :
What are you looking forward to on your N American Tour:
I didn't go in America for about 5 or 6 years !, So its like a new first time for me. I think its gonna be a tour full of surprises, so I prefer not expecting anything !
What track are the crowds going mental over:
So many good records, I tryly believe its not on big hits that people get crazy, its more about the music you play and HOW you play it.. But basically, one of my big bullet that's always work is my remix I did last year for Corst & Doray "apocalypse".
Who have you remixed lately:
Lately... nobody, I stopped remixes for a while now, focusing on my onw music, my priority.
Who would you love to remix:
...but if the Daft Punk or Chemical Brothers guyz come, then I'll break my 'no remix' rule :
If you were lost on an island, what 3 things would you bring:
Well, lets be smart, I'll bring a solar system energy thing to run some power for the laptop (yeah there is no electricity on an island :
- and well its not a thing but a nice pretty woman could be nice as well ahah..
Vinyl, Cd's or laptop:
Vinyl are luxury and beautifull but I'll go for the CD, more handy for traveling.
At the moment, SebastiEn Leger loves....:
The music I'm working on at the moment !
At the moment SebastiEn Leger hates...:
The people who share and download illegally our music, our life.
