[Sébastien Léger](https://soundcloud.com/sebastienleger) has been one of the most unique and captivating producers the techno scene has brought forward over the past decade. His steadily rising career is proof of where hard graft, dedication, passion, consistency and originality can take a producer to.
His prolific work rate belies the thought and effort that he pours into each production, setting him out as the antithesis to lazy contemporaries who churnout unimaginative production line formulas. Cutting his teeth as a DJ in his native France in the ’90s as the ‘French touch’ movement exploded, he found inspiration from fellow countrymen like Daft Punk and Laurent Garnier, and released his first record in 1999 on Black Jack. A steady stream of releases saw him crop up on ever more prominent labels such as Defected, Ovum, Intec, His filter house‐inspired, funk-‐fuelled sound slowly edging toward squirkier techno stylings.
A period of intense creativity and productivity in the mid-Noughties saw his name breakthrough into the upper echelons of electronic music, each week seemingly yielding a stunning new track in a different style. While his techno style developed, he also released electro bangers, sensual vocal records, peak-time house romps and melody heavy epics that combined his rolling grooves with almost progressive sensibilities. No other producer could match him for vrsatility and consistency
Having achieved so much across his career-‐hundreds of productions, remixes for everyone from Justin Timberlake to Kylie Minogue, DJing at the world’s biggest festivals and clubs-‐you’d be forgiven for thinking he may be one to simply rest on his laurels. He’s still got some big goals in his sights, however. ‘There’s a few people I would like to remix that would be a personal satisfaction for me. People like Laurent Garnier, or Daft Punk-‐that would be an achievement for me, not just because I like their music but also because of what they represent for French music. And I’m always looking for the next thing for my career. It would of course be good to be bigger without compromising my sound. The more people I touch, the better, but without being completely cheesy. ‘
That’s something you can always count on him for; staying true to his sound and principles. And in this day and age of hip-hop artists going trance and house artists going country, that’s something that should be highly revered.
