Xavier Léon- Movin' On

Good evening, folks.

Those who have been reading this blog for a while may recognize the name sibian&faun, a great electronic music duo from Montreal. We profiled them back in February, and have been following their power moves ever since.

However, today's post is dedicated to 1/2 of sibian&faun, a very talented producer who goes by the name of Xavier Léon.

When I saw the list of participants in this year's Red Bull Music Academy (which is ridic, by the way), I was stoked to see that Xavier had been accepted. He's already released a preview of a collaboration with Italian producer Broke One which you can check out on his soundcloud.

Today's featured song is a extremely solid and sexy piece of music called Movin On. Léon's work with sibian&faun dipped heavily into futuristic-sounding r&b vibes, and his solo work continues the tradition. Xavier Léon's choice of samples is pretty fantastic, and he excels at heartwrenching, bass-heavy dance music. I'm definitely a very big fan of his unique sound, and hope you'll show him a lot of support if you do too.

Montreal <3

sibian & faun

sibian & faun are a duo from Montreal who produce some incredibly haunting and beautiful electronic music. Milo Reinhardt and Xavier Leon, the talented young duo that make up sibian & faun, hit us up a while ago with some tracks that they produced last summer. Their sound is choppy, jazzy, glitchy and futuristic r&b, I suppose. At the end of the day, though, it's just sensual and groovy electronic music. My only complaint is that the songs are at a low bit rate, but I have enough imagination to accurately guess what they'd sound like on a proper system.

We've included two of their older songs for download, and two newer ones, that are unfortunately only streamable for now. I'm sorry will definitely make waves pretty soon. Keep your eyes peeled for more material from these promising, forward-thinking producers. Montreal, stand up.

If you live in Montreal, and you aren't going to see Canblaster at Blue Dog Motel tonight, then we can't be friends. Ever.

#BOOMCLAP, as we repeat nigh-weekly, is the hottest ticket in town. And Canblaster is most definitely one of the most versatile and innovative new producers in the game. Get familiar. Here's a recent remix he did of French Fries' tune Charlotte. He'll probably be playing his crazier stuff tonight, but it's dope to see him switch up his style so effortlessly, and still make it work.
