Monsieur Seb’s Cosmix vol. 6: Set the Controls for the Heart of the Ultraworld

Leave a comment

Some mixes just beg to be recorded.

Barely two months since the last installment in the series comes a new one.

The pieces just fell into place, or, more appropriately, the sculpture was already in the stone, all I had to do was remove the excess material, to paraphrase what a great sculptor once said.

So, here it is, in all its glorious two hours, fifty-five minutes and 40 seconds, my new 30 tracks-large sound sculpture.

It is all at once very different and totally similar to its predecessors.

It’ll make you groove, move, sway and play, it’ll take you through all kinds of emotions, ideas and dreams.

Or so I humbly hope.

Hey y’all.

I’ve archives all the tracks I’ve produced, co-produced or remixed so far, since 2000.

I’ve included a few details on each track, and I’m presenting them in alphabetical order because, for most of them, I’ve lost the actual date of creation in a hard drive crash.

Indeed, a lot of those tracks only exist in audio format because the Reason master file (.rns) was lost.

In alphabetical order also beacuse I don’t want to put any of them forward, even though I should, but like I said, it’s an archive, not a sales pitch.

To wit, the fact that for the vast majority of them, the title is a working title, and and real title is important to me once a track is finished. I’ll let you guess which ones I think are completed tracks.

They are only available to stream, but I’ll gladly send you a copy should you request one.

Monsieur Seb’s Gift of Music (Free New Composition 4 U)

Leave a comment

fall

When inspiration comes, just go with the flow.

Here’s a very ambient track I recorded almost in one shot this morning and that I’ve titled “Fall”.

Ended up sounding a lot like Stars of the Lid and other ambient drone artists that I really like a lot, so I guess one could consider this new track of mine a form of hommage.

Hope you like it!

Monsieur Seb’s Cosmix, volume IV: Welcome to Planet Khizmyazz

1 Comment

Yes, boys and girls, bipeds, quadrupeds and dodecapeds!

The new installment of the Cosmix series has landed!

It has been gestating since… well, since I released the previous installment!

Get your space helmets on, cadets, because I pulled all the stops on this one: it doesn’t attempt to please anyone or anything but the most weirdly disco neuron hiding in your brain — hence the title, and if you don’t get it right away, just repeat the name of the planet out loud a few times :p

At just under two hours, it’s the shortest mix in the series so far.

Lots of psychedelic fun is included, I strongly suggest… Heck no! I strongly RECOMMEND, that you don’t listen to this while straight.

I sincerely hope you enjoy, and if you don’t, try again: it’ll grow on you!

Oh! And that gorgeous planet that’s the album art? It’s a soap bubble!

Monsieur Seb @ Piknic Électronik, Aug. 16th 2009, a.k.a. Cosmix 3.5

It was hot as hell that Sunday and I was afraid my laptop might overheat from the requirements of running Torq AND recording the set, so I forgot about the idea of recording it live on the spot.

So, I re-recorded the set today in the cool of my basement studio, and here it is for your listening enjoyment.

It is kinda live because I recorded it in one take… 😉

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: a Picnik in the Park

Leave a comment

zoom

Yup, the time has come!

Sunday is the day I spin two cool hours of Cosmic Disco at Picnik Electronik, from 14h to 16h!

Trust me, this set is SO going to fit with the weather and the venue! 😉

BUT REMEMBER!

Sunday’s edition is at JARDIN DES FLORALIES, not at the Calder stabile, as usual!

ATTENTION!

The reason Sunday’s edition is at Jardin des Floralies is because of the Fête des enfants, so it’s likely the parking spaces will be sparse unless you get there really early.

I strongly suggest parking near a metro station and using the tube to get to Parc Jean-Drapeau and then the shuttle to make it to the Jardin.

See you there!

Monsieur Seb’s Cosmix: 3rd Sun From The Rock

Leave a comment

Just a few months after the second iteration came the third of the series, Third Sun from the Rock.

This one’s birth was tougher.

I re-recorded it twice before I was entirely satisfied with it technically, while musically, I stretched out the boudaries of the genre even more, going as far as including tracks that didn’t readily fall within those boudaries.

Let’s put it this way: I was offering people to include them within those boundaries, if they were willing to stretch those boundaries alongside this DJ.

The presence of Swag’s edit of New Jersey Deep by Black Science Orchestra or Lullabies in the Dark’s Iridium are telling examples.

The jury is still out on whether this one or its predecessor is the better mix: they both have their strong points, and they both boogie!

Monsieur Seb’s Cosmix: Second Orbit

Leave a comment

After recording volume one, the urge to make a second iteration of the Cosmix Series (it was clear to me that this was going to be a series) rapidly became intense and Second Orbit was born a mere 6 months after its predecessor.

I find that this mix is more refined and focused, compared to the previous one, but that’s explained by the fact that I was still discovering and exploring the limits of the genre, six months earlier.

Here’ I’ve started to define what my Sound is going to be within this genre, as well as exploring and paying hommage to the roots, as witnessed by the inclusion of tracks by Kano and Alan Hackshaw.

Monsieur Seb’s Cosmix: 3, 2, 1, liftoff!

1 Comment

It’s around 2005 that I discovered this new sound whose name (or names, as the case may be) I was still unaware of and which blew me away.

Slowly, I started researching, digging virtual crates and it took me a good year before I felt confident enough to try my hand at mixing the tenors of the genre.

As it happened, it was the first mix I recorded with my newly acquired Torq Xponent and the mix that made me decide I was doing away with the restriction imposed by the 75 minutes time limitation of the CD, which itself replaced the good old cassette tape, cutting out yet another 15 minutes from what used to be a good DJ mix.

From that point on, I have not recorded a mix shorter than 1h45 minutes, and all three Cosmix iterations are close to 2 hours and 30 minutes.
