C'est Dommage

It appears as though our last blog post of two videos (ahem) has put a spell over all of us here at LetThereBeNight. What better way to reinvigorate from a daze than to post new music from Ed Banger?



Monday was a huge day, at least for a particular population: Justice sent out their new remix of DVNO to the blog-world. Many people aren't particularly fond of it, and feel as though the innovative half-life is slipping away from the French boys. As far as our opinion is concerned, we're not concerned. One thing can be noted, though. More and more so, the Justice sound is resembling the always newly acquired electronic mannerisms developed by one man killing machine SebasiAn. If SebastiAn's unreleased Motor makes use of a tiny repeated sound bit winding into a higher octave, then it's clear the Justice remix emulates this technique, but the sound bit winds down. And the SebasiAn single has yet to be released! Friendly co-operation, or unfair operation?

Perhaps to make it a neutral commentary, since the beginning of both SebastiAn's and Justice's musical genealogy, both parties have been heavily influenced by their frequent use of the Pioneer 1000 Mk3 while DJing, its precise loop functions and pitch bend. Starting a DJ set with a split-second loop under a high-pitch is hallmark SebastiAn, and that live improvisation has led on to influence production in the studio.

In other Ed Banger news, we have finally gotten our hands on a copy of the SebastiAn remix of Scenario Rock's "Gotta Move On." There has been no other Sebastian remix on such DL. Here's a copy of a high bit-rate version, not the 96kbps version that's been floating around like a whore in dire times. SebastiAn's Motor will be available on Ed Rec Volume III scheduled for release in May.

Remember when everyone thought the Scenario Rock - Both Gotta Move On "Hey Champ" remix was the SebastiAn remix? People, it turns out the "Hey Champ" remix is not, in fact, the SebastiAn remix. Considering how much hype this guy gets, the Sebastian remix is surprisingly on the DL. It hasn't leaked yet, or so it seems. However, you can hear the song in its entirety at Scenario Rock's Myspace, or simply purchase the "Both Gotta Move On" single, including the said remix, at Arcade Mode.

As far as 2008 is concerned, I think people will be surprisingly impressed with the album from Sebastian, which is said to drop in "Winter Spring" 2008, whatever that means. He's already given the public a ghostly track "untitlted." With better remixes under SebastiAn's belt, this track is nothing exciting. Probably, SebastiAn specifically put this track out because it's the least personable track on the record. Justice did something similar when they made a faux version of "The Party," (and people were actually liking it!!?!) prior to the drop on the album, almost as a spiteful scheme to the blog community. When the real version finally appeared, people were pleasantly surprised.

That said, here is a video of a brand new SebastiAn track that he dropped at Dafunkfest in Tokyo. The youtube author has disabled embedding *by request,* so you'll just have to follow the link. Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says sample?. Notice the distinct resemblance to Justice's sound, or is it Justice's resemblance to SebastiAn's sound?
