What’s on in Melbourne Victoria – Sebastien Leger ‘Mistakes Music’ Tour 2011

Sébastien Léger began 2011 in fine form. His label, Mistakes, has further strengthened his role as one of Europe’s leading proponents of contemporary underground techno. The antithesis of the showman that is fellow countryman, David Guetta, Léger mines a wholly different vein, updating the rich musical histories of Detroit and Chicago with a quiet determination and no-nonsense approach.

Tracks such as ‘Binola’, The White Island’, and ‘The Rhythm’, lie at the funkier end of the techno scale, throbbing and coursing with a proudly European sensibility; but regional influences aside, the reception to Léger’s recorded output ensures his popularity remains truly global.

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 Sébastien remains at the forefront of modern EDM, taking his music to wherever dance culture shines brightest.

Supporting acts: Nick Young, Rowie, Frazer Adnam, Sean Rault, John Doe, Joel Fletcher, Markie Mark, Adrian Cordoma, Jacob Malmo and Oliver James.
