Whether with the French Rap band La Formule in the 1990s, as a radio host, with his own LabÂ’Oratoire label at the turn of the new millennium, or through his Breakbeats Breaking the Wave compilations, Jean-Christophe Le Saoût—alias Wax Tailor—remains one of the flagship artists of the international electro-hip-hop scene, whose cinematic music breaks all boundaries between trip-hop, hip-hop orchestral and down tempo. This French songwriter, composer, producer and manager is finally gracing us with a visit, accompanied by his band on tour to promote his new albumIn the Mood for Life, scheduled for release this fall, and of which Say Yes is an excellent first track.
