Sebastien Pastore grew up in France, enveloped at an early age by the powerful sounds of Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Serge Gainsbourg. As a teen, Sebastien immersed himself heavily into the new wave/industrial scene much inspired by the likes of Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, Front 242 and Severed Heads. “It was the most amazing thing,” says Sebastien. “At that time, I could hardly believe that this music was made by human beings.” This futuristic mindset structured the inner yearning to create and explore from which Sebastien San began.
The emerging club-culture of the mid-80’s, as well as the birth of Detroit techno and Chicago house, had an even greater impact on him. “I immediately got into it; the sound of those records had a powerful depth and it was generally more funky and danceable. We were throwing parties anywhere we could find, be it a garage, a warehouse or a basement. Tracks Like ‘Strings Of Life’ by Derrick May, ‘Big Fun’ by Inner City or ‘French Kiss’ by Lil’ Louis became instant classics.”
It is clear that Sebastien’s fascination with dance floor driven music would lead to the development of his own style, which combines deep atmospheric strings and sweet melodies laid over funky beats and rhythms. Having gained quite a following with his electro-kissed “Rising Sun,” Sebastien returns to Planet E with the forthcoming release of his new single “Adventures.” Show less
