Ed Banger OG SebastiAn talks about growing up on Thirst LP: 'A bridge between hip-hop, rock, French touch & everything'
Growing up, Sébastian Akchoté's brother wasn't always around. Noël was 12 years Sébastian's senior and a successful jazz guitarist. If he wasn't in the studio, he was on the road, but he would visit their mother's house from time to time and play the younger Akchoté records.
Akchoté is known as a Parisian artist, and while he was born there, he moved to his mother's native Yugoslavia when he was about two. His father had just passed away, and his mother, having moved to France without friends or family, needed support in raising her youngest child. Growing up in Belgrade , Akchoté was exposed to a very different sort of culture.
Forever in love with Paris, Akchoté's mother returned with her teenage son. He was now a bit of a beat freak, and as the technology of music became democratized, he started making hip-hop beats. He wanted to be like DJ Premier, but always striving to be different, his music took on a harsh and rowdy energy. Disco samples were manipulated to hit like heavy metal to a hip-hop beat, and someone told him to give this guy Pedro Winter a call.
Some 17 years later, Ed Banger is still the home of all things SebastiAn. Winter, who releases music as Busy P, never forces a schedule on artists. If it takes labelmates Justice five years to release an album, so be it. If Mr. Oizo wants to make a few movies between EPs, all the better. Akchoté learned a lot when he helped the latter soundtrack his 2007 surrealist film.
“[Noé] is not knocking on the door,”Akchoté says. “He's just flooding the door open, and that's what I love in him… He told me '10 years ago when you put out your album, you were in clubs all the time. If you come back, you're going to come back by the clubs, and or you're going to make something in a club.' I said, 'What is the story?' And he told me, 'There's no story, just I'm going to destroy everything.
