Sebastien Tellier described his album Sexuality as “music that would sexually excite people in an Italian or Latin sense of sexual music; the big seducer with the broken heart.” The album may be meant for baby making, but Sexuality Remix, created two years later, is meant for house parties and clubs.
The remixed album has electro heavyweights like A-Trak, Kavinsky, and Boyz Noize, plus many more putting their touch on the sensual songs. Dance tracks like “Sexual Sportswear” remixed by SebastiAn , and A-Trak’s “Kilometer” remix will make you want to jam out in a French club till the sun comes up.
Mellower songs like “Elle” remixed by Kasper Winding and Floating points’ remix of “L’amour et la Violence” are equally as good as the faster paced songs. Floating Points mixes drum and bass with heavy synths to make a song totally different and more upbeat to Tellier’s grief stricken electric piano version.
Boyz Noize’s remix of “L’amour et la Violence” stands out above the rest. The techno artist, similar to Justice mixed with Daft Punk, speeds up the piano riff and adds heavy drums and synths; yet the song still shares the characteristics of Tellier’s original and most intimate track from his 2008 album. The remix is fast paced and full of energy, and perfectly portrays the theme of Sexuality Remix.
Instead of steamy R&B from the first album, Sexuality Remix transforms these tracks into club bangers. The new Sexuality is full of producers putting their take on Tellier’s most popular songs from his 2008 album. Although this is just an album full of remixes, it is the perfect LP for getting your groove on.
