He worked with Frank Ocean on Blonde. He dropped his first album, Total, in 2011—and then waited eight years to release the follow-up, Thirst. He can be seen both kissing and punching himself on his album covers. Yes, the French-Serbian SebastiAn is an enigma, a cult favourite and a boundary-pushing producer who brought a hip-hop sensibility (DJ Premier is a main influence) to his electro house and kept twisting the knife to make it weirder. Alongside labelmates Justice and Mr. Oizo, SebastiAn crafts angular, layered, glitchy music that never forgets its prime objective: to make you dance.
