Just a quick reminder that I’ve got a new mix ready for your listening enjoyment in the post right below!
Inside Me
New mix?
Apparently, yeah!
It came out of nowhere…
I mean, I usually set out and plan to make a new mix, but with this one, I wasn’t planning it — at least not in this style — for yet another little while.
However, some time last week, I just HAD to start tinkering with my decks and, well, it just flowed right out of me.
Guess the right combination of tracks and mindset was there!
So, here it is… Honestly, it’s not a mix for amateurs: the choice of tracks, the mixing style, the very different moods, all require that you, dear listener, be ready to deal with it.
Just before recording it, I set my Facebook status to “New mix coming your way in the next few hours! Just in time for the weekend, too! Lots of weird goodness!” and weird goodness might as well be the title of this mix! 😀
BUT…
As I was chatting with my friend Mélanie D. about this mix just after it was done, she made me realize that this was actually some kind of message to my recently dearly departed friend Marie Lebel, and, in retrospect, I have to admit she was totally right, even though I didn’t realize it at the conception or recording stage.
So here’s to you, one last time, beautiful Marie…

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Giveaways: FREE STUFF! Won’t enlarge your penis. But then again…
Hey y’all! Sorry ’bout the wee hiatus, I was off on a small holiday with my daughter, last weekend, and well… that’s it!
As is customary when I do not post for a few days, I try to come back with music you can keep legally and for free!
Well, I found a few great things for ya!
First, if you remember, a coupla days ago I told you about The Mungolian Jet Set releasing an excellent double compilation of their work. Well, turns out they are giving out one of the tracks on said compilation, and it happens to be the best one of the lot!
Clairevoyage (A Medley Performed By The 16th Rebels Of Mung) – Dominique Leone
As you can see, it is offered by RCRD*LBL, “a network of ad supported online record labels and blogs offering completely free music and multimedia content from emerging and established artists.”
There’s tons of good stuff and there’s a newsletter you can subscribe to that will send a free track to your inbox on a daily basis!
Today’s free track, for instance, made me discover the excellent Memory Tapes.
Bicycle (Horrors Cosmic Dub) – Memory Tapes
I’ve also mentionned FACT Magazine before, they also give out free stuff regularly, and latest on the list is British MC Ms. Dynamite.
Never heard of her? Check out the video for her debut hit from a coupla years back, Dy-Na-Mi-Tee

Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: Thanks, Resident Advisor!
It’s always a pleasure to discover new tracks, as I hope, humbly, I help you do, my dear readers, from time to time.
My latest discovery, then, was suggested by a Tweet from top music site Resident Advisor.
The tweet in question was about a new white label release by dubstep artist Pangaea, who I didn’t know before.
However, said post had no audio link and it raved so ecstatic about a previous release by Pangaea, titled Router, that I just had to go and check it out on Beatport.
Wow! Instantly fell in love with it…
Now, on a more objective angle, it doesn’t reinvent Dubstep like Burial did with his Untrue album a couple of years ago, and it’s a tad more accessible (ie less underground), but it’s a great piece of work, nonetheless!
Hope you dig it, too!
Monsieur Seb’s Daily Musical Suggestion: The Good Life
There are some records one feels lucky and grateful to own.
One such record, for me, is the double vinyl entitled Testament 93 by Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City.
There’s no debate on how influential Kevin Saunderson’s been for House Music and electronic music in general, as much in his solo productions as with Inner City or even as a label owner.
Released (as the title implies) in 1993, this beautifully packaged double 12″ was, at the time, and it sill is, very near a collector’s item.
First because CJ Mackintosh’s remix is absolutely first class, adding just what’s needed to the original production of the “other” Inner City classic, Good Life (Big Fun being THE classic), to make it sound even better on a dancefloor, but without hijacking the track.
Good Life (Cj Mackintosh’s Living Good Club Mix) – Inner City
Good Life
It sounds like it could very well be the orginal, to someone who hasn’t heard it in a while.
Second, the lot of producers invited to remix some of Inner City’s best songs is quite impressive, even now: the aforementionned Mackintosh, Unity, Brothers In Rhythm, Leftfield, Saunderson himself, as well as The Future Sound Of London, doing a 15 minutes-long version of Praise that sounds like a close relative of Papua New Guinea.
Praise (The Future Sound Of London Concept Dub) – Inner City
Praise
Nowadays, Testament 93 is not that hard to find in digital version (download or CD), and I’ve seen a few vinyl copies available from online retailers and eBay. If you go for vinyl, make sure you get a mint copy, because although the pressing was very nice, it was also very fragile.
Monsieur Seb’s Daily Music Suggestion: hot! Hot!! HOT!!!
I’ve just completed a little round of shopping on Beatport and I just HAD to share this bomb with y’all!
Living my Life – Roberto Rodriguez (Plastic City)
Living my Life
Now, Rodriguez, originally from Helsinki (check out his brief bio by clicking this link), is not a newcomer to the scene, and some of his productions have been featured in my mixes before.
He’s one of the producers I’ve favourited in Beatport because his productions are always top quality, but this new track on Plastic City just blew my mind intstantly!
Pay close attention to his subtle use of a TB-303-like sound in there (the low warbly one that comes in before the high squelchy one). Absolutely delightful!
It has all the makings of a classic, it is the kind of track I wish I had composed, and I say that without any trace of jealousy, only with great awe and admiration!
No need to bet your money: this track is obviously gonna be in my next mix AND it will play during my set @ Picnik Electronik, on August 16th, that is for SURE!
Don’t miss this: We Choose the Moon
Great stuff: AMAZING real-time recreation of the Apollo 11 mission, you can even follow the astronauts’ conversations via Twitter!

Monsieur Seb’ Daily Music Suggestion: Fred’s Back!
To celebrate the return of Fred Everything in Montreal today (@Picnik Electronik tonight at 8pm), I’ve decided to share my favourite tracks by my old friend from Quebec City.
I stayed within his album productions because had I decided to choose among his hundreds of productions and remixes, it would’ve been a tad complicated to pick just a few.
Hop to see y’all there today! “Opening” for Fred are Slim Jim, Justin Long and JT Donaldson.
If you can’t make it, there’s always the Lazy Days Recordings podcasts mixed by Fred which you can download.
