Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sebastian Galante started to study music by playing the piano and percussion at the age of 7. As a young teenager he moves to Norwich, England, and starts to compose simple piano pieces (with an aleatoric improvisation approach), whilst developing his love for urban and dance beats.

Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sebastian Galante started to study music by playing the piano and percussion at the age of 7. As a young teenager he moves to Norwich, England, and starts to compose simple piano pieces (with an aleatoric improvisation approach), whilst developing his love for urban and dance beats. In 2004, influenced by composers of varied musical areas (from Erik Satie, Kraftwerk and John Cage to Michael Jackson, Bjork and Plastikman) he dove into producing deep and funky minimal techno.
In 2004 he becomes an Electronic Arts student at the UNTREF, and, with 19 years of age, Seph's debut ep "Goust" is released on Igloo-rec and he becomes one of the label's main faces. He starts to get recognized for his up to 4-hour live sets, playing alongside friends such as Barem, Dilo, etc., and forms an audiovisual duo with Pablo Denegri. 2006 sees him participating in various compilations that group the new argentinean generation of minimal techno artists, such as "Aires Buenos" (Unfoundsound) and Post Office Argentina Madness (Telegraph). He starts to form numerous collaboration projects with Jorge Savoretti, Pablo Denegri and Dilo.
After releasing on a wide array of labels like Stock5, Kalimari, Phonocult, 11AM and having tracks included in compilations mixed by DJs like Jeremy Caulfield and Ellen Allien, he makes the label Dumb Unit his homebase. 2009 is the year of Vodkrens EP, a critically acclamied piece featuring new sides of Seph, pushed by more melody and more groove.
Seph has made live shows all over the world in clubs and parties such as Cocoliche (Buenos Aires), Harry Klein (Munich), Fuse (Brussels), City Fox (Zurich), Flex (Vienna), Watergate (Berlin), Gazgolder Gallery (Moscow), D-Edge (Sao Paolo), Kazantip Festival (Ukraine), Minitek (New York), SAMC (Buenos Aires), Lantern (Beijing), Earth Freq (Brisbane, Australia) and Mutek (Buenos Aires). In 2010 many new projects will see the light. November will be the month of the long-awaited Seph album, featuring argentinian guests on a palette of diverse styles of techno and electronica. Seph will also appear in remix projects around the world, in labels from Argentina, China and Australia. And as a bonus, somewhere along the year we will finally see released his glitch and noise project, an ode to the love for unusual and error-driven sounds. Show less
