A track has leaked off SebastiAn’s forthcoming sophomore album that remains yet-unnamed and quite possibly yet-unmastered, but my god is it a good’un. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Untitled.

Quite the return to form from the man that brought us the hypnotic-if-almost-undanceable Ross Ross Ross and some of the best remixes of this year.
For good measure, I should probably introduce you to Ross Ross Ross. Reader this is Ross Ross Ross, Ross Ross Ross this your reader. Play nice. Better yet, play it loud.

SebastiAn – Ross Ross Ross from Ross Ross Ross EP [ buy ]
I first came across this gem when it opened Simian Mobile Disco’s New Rave Mix for NME Magazine. The mix was an absolute blinder that totally opened my ears to so many acts of last year (I know it seems weird to talk about last year’s acts like yesterday’s news), but the song that always brought me back was Ross Ross Ross. I’d never heard anything like it.
Hungry for more, I chased down anything touched with the oddly-capitalised “SebastiAn” and a slew of fancy remixes came out of the woodwork. Mylo’s Paris Four Hundred. The Rapture’s Get Myself Into It. Cut Copy’s Going Nowhere. Kelis’ Bossy. Standing head and shoulders above them all however was the still-blistering remix of Daft Punk’s Human After All.

Hat-tip to L&D for the live shot of SebastiAn and Kavinsky from their live set at The Prince in Melbourne back in the day. Best. Night. Ever.
We’ll be looking to rinse and repeat the experience when SebastiAn and Kavinsky open (among others) for Daft Punk at Never Ever Land in December.
