Proto Punk

Towards the end of 2021 and fresh off the back of releasing their second album, ‘Melodi', Kit Sebastian recorded their first Lagniappe Session for the much-respected audio journal, Aquarium Drunkard. Taking the momentum of the album campaign and channelling it into a covers project, the band reimagined Turkish pop sensation Sezen Aksu and avant Londoners, Stereolab in their own unique style. Having originally been an exclusive for Aquarium Drunkard, the EP is now seeing its commercial release. 

Sezen Aksu is one of the band's favourite Turkish singers / songwriters, inspiring them through her effortless mix of different genres, playful lyrics and captivating vocals. The original version of ‘Şinanay’ is a beautiful example of late 80’s Turkish disco pop. The lyrics belong to an important Turkish poet, Melih Cevdet Anday, who talks about the ferry that goes to Istanbul’s Princes’ Islands carrying and bringing together different segments and races of society. Kit Sebastian transformed the song into something more delicate and smoother, with a Brazilian inspired rhythm on guitar and jazz piano lines.

As fans of Stereolab and having drawn regular comparison since the release of their debut album, 'French Disko’ stood out as an interesting piece of music to cover. The deadpan intensity of the original is a hard-to-produce effect and Stereolab achieved it so well. So, they thought: how would Stereolab sound if they revisited it? The result was dark guitar lines, loud, Latin percussion, and J.S Bach inspired synths. La Resistance!

Kit Sebastian - French Disko

my final track of the year 2013 was created as an expression of gratitude to the person who not only introduced me to blonde redhead, years ago, but went out of her way to be one of the best friends i've ever had and did the honours of flying me to los angeles in 2007 to watch them perform one truly magical set at coachella.  additionally, she pushed me to become a dj, have faith in my work as a producer, opened my heart & mind to much of what's inspired me to this day and overall went out of her way to support my music and self to the utmost magnitude. this is for her and for any club dj who couldn't find a blonde redhead remix in the techno & house tempo range. nothing went unappreciated. you know who you are.

love,
