One of the most outstanding producers and DJs of the current electronic scene is about to drop his hotly anticipated album… Sébastien Léger presents `Planets’ which is set for release in November on his own label – Mistakes Music. Featuring 11 tracks written by Sébastien to showcase what his label is all about; `Planet’s has quickly taken on other-worldly status and every track has been named after a Planet in our solar system… we caught up with Seb to chat about the album…

Hi Sebastien, how you doing today?

Great… crazy busy.

It has been a crazy year for you in terms of gigging and productions have any particular moments stood out?

I just come back from a South America tour. It was my first time there and I had a fantastic welcome… my craziest gig ever was in Medellin (Columbia. Production wise, remixing Justin Timberlake was like another new chapter in my career too.

What is your biggest achievement so far?

Doing the music I like to play is actually already a big one…

Tell us about your new music projects? You have a new album out soon? Tell us about it?

It’s a compilation of dancefloor tracks that I’ve done. It includes all my influences: house, techno, and deep, chilled, funky alongside my usual moods of funny or serious.

Why did you call it Planets?

No real reason, pretty random, but it fits well with the tracks. Some planets inspired me like Sun (warm), Earth (nature) or Mars (mad planet). It’s also easy to find some name for the tracks too!

Any stand out tracks?

All of them!

You have released a couple on there, what are you planning to release next?

I have a track called “Terra” that will be released on Eric Prydz’s label Pryda Friends. It will include a remix by Eric himself, so don’t need to tell you how hot this record will be ? This is the only release i will do outside of my own Mistakes label. All my material will be released on Mistakes…

You don’t view this as an artist album eventhough you have written all the tracks, why is that?

A solo artist album is full of different vibes and tempos – with vocals too… this is more of a compilation of tracks i’ve done made for Djs & dance music lovers.

It is out on your own label, how is that going?

All good. Like I said, it will be full of good tracks, with different vibes as I’m an eclectic dj. You can expect some minimal, some techno, some proper house and some Sebastien Leger’s style.

I notice you love your Adidas clothes and your diamond encrusted headphones… are you all about the bling?

Not really ? The headphone are more my jokey attitude. I’m not the kind of person who talks about money and showing my Ferrari (that i dont have)… But i like the hip hop fashion in general, better than the standard electro/rock look.

Any plans for an artist album?

Yes, i will start working on it next year, so i think around end of 2008 or later in 2009… I want to do it right and it’s a lots of work.

Who have you remixed lately?

Justin Timberlake, Duran Duran, Groove Armada, Ali Love and also some great underground track that have been dancefloor hit such as Ida Engberg (Disco Volante) and Julian Jeweil (Air Condition).

Who would you love to remix?

Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Tiga, Royskopp, Muse, Madonna, Pharell, Lenny Kravitz, Jamiroquai etc etc… I just love good music.

When does your album come out?

Late November. Go and buy it!
