Sébastien Tellier is a veteran French artist who has paved his own fascinating and chameleonic lane ever since releasing his debut album L'incroyable Vérité in 2001. His brand new studio album Kiss the Beast finds him collaborating with Nile Rodgers, Kid Cudi, and Slayyyter, yet the record is still undeniably Sébastien's vision as he explores his singular blend of French pop, synth-pop, funk, lounge, New Wave, and R&B styles.
Sébastien Tellier's exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World nestles his own songs (including a handful from his new album Kiss the Beast) alongside influential gems from iconic acts like Giorgio Moroder, Ennio Morricone, Barry White, and Christoper Cross and a bunch of tasty cinematic deep cuts. All mixed and sequenced together in careful fashion, this mix wonderfully captures Sébastien's vast and unique pop vision.
