Bloom with Sebastien Leger

  • Bloom with International Hero Sébastien Léger! Honestly, Sébastien Léger, Enough Said Sébastien Léger is a true WORLD CLASS HEAVYWEIGHT, he is one of the best musicians out there PERIOD. Portland WILL be truly honored to host him. He will play an exclusive 2 hours set for a sonic experience like never experienced before! Sébastien Léger - (France) Mistakes Music www.sebastienleger.net/ www.soundcloud.com/sebastienleger Léger has been at the top of his game for a decade now. His label, Mistakes, has further strengthened his role as one of the world's leading proponents of contemporary underground techno. His much lauded musical ability stems from a classical background, but formal training is but one half of the story; having served his 'apprenticeship’ in clubs around France in his teens, drawing inspiration from heroes such as Laurent Garnier, Daft Punk, and Etienne De Crecy. Leger is thoroughly 21st century in his delivery and execution, packing a punch that has seen Mistakes become a best-seller on Beatport, and an imprint that is defining a new sound away from the soulless beats and clicks of minimal. Despite his more cerebral sound of late, he brings to proceedings a dance floor sensibility that is all about the ‘funk’, injected with a heart and soul attitude that means his music is never clinical. In addition to his studio exploits, a busy DJ diary means gigs across the planet, from Germany to Japan, the UK to Ibiza, and the US to Asia. It’s a schedule that means Sebastien remains at the forefront of modern EDM, taking his music to wherever dance culture shines brightest.

Apolinario Ancheta (Portland, OR) Click Track Lab www.soundcloud.com/apolinario Apolinario employs a specific range of music from House to Techno that he pulsates into the deep seas to lure the creatures so he can study their behavior and ultimately understand what makes them so fucking creepy to most people. The secret to his success can be attributed to the specific style of music that he selects, “I theorized long ago that since these animals live so far deep in the ocean, I must find the deepest tracks available to be able to reach them”. Whether it’s deep house, deep techno, or anywhere in between, the giant squid can’t resist these specific sounds “it just stuns them”. Earlier in his career, Apolinario experimented with different types of music “It just didn’t work the same; hip hop, electro house, drum and bass –no response”. Looking back, he attributes this to the lack of experience, “especially the electro house , I thought it was cutting edge at the time, but it just turned out to be a bunch of crap –a complete waste of time”. Looking at the future, his work will take him to new regions with expected research in Panama, Seattle, and Vancouver BC where he will continue to hunt giant squid using the theory of deep track selection and funky grooves.
