French louche legend Sebastien Tellier will release a compilation of remixes from his surprisingly still relevant certain to be a hit 2008 album, Sexuality, September 10 on Record Maker. Of course, much of the records longevity can be attributed to some of the stellar remixes that turned Sexuality into an unexpected classic, including Aeroplanes disco-perfect version of “Kilometer” and SebastiAn’s choppy french take on “Sexual Sportswear.” Tellier’s will also perform an acoustic show in Los Angeles to celebrate Record Maker’s 10 Year Anniversary as part of the french government’s Oh La La Festival on September 20th. Also on the line-up are fellow countrymen Kavinsky, Acid Washed and Turzi. Full set list of Sexuality Remix after the jump.

With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”

From A-Trak to Zongamin, France’s
Kitsune has collected some fine contemporary club music in recent years. Ever bang on trend, as only a label with an associated fashion brand could be, it uses its style-conscious Maison compilations to highlight that taste-making prowess. And it’s through these releases that far-flung territories can be alerted to the sounds of La Roux, Digitalism, Klaxons, M.I.A., Shinichi Osawa, Simian Mobile Disco, Rex The Dog and… well, we could go on and on and on and on. But let’s move on to ...
