Resident DJ
Sean Holbrook
Starting with a burning desire to share his music collection with any one
who would listen, it was a for gone conclusion Sean would end up as one of the
most up & coming “backroom” branded DJs in the country. His love for the
broken beats, twisted house and a chunky groove has got many a dance floor
rocking. Not one to be labelled to one sound, Sean's sets can comprise the
finest moments in beatz / funk / house, but they all maintain one thing... a
solid groove!
Sean's DJ career is fast becoming a success story. Since taking up his first residency aged 17 and being 10 years deep on the decks with an ear for all things funky, his trademark sound being........? Sean can deliver a truly awesome 'backroom' set that will take you on a journey into the finest moments of what we call dance music today. In a set, Sean can create a melting pot of all sounds, that all twist and blend together, giving you no other option but to dance! Recognised as a part of the future eclectic Nu Breed, Sean's sets have gained praise from the likes of Danny Howells, Dave Chambers and Ashley Casselle. As a solo effort, as part of the 'Simple Crew' Sean is well on the way up and nothing is getting in his way.
Through his Simple nights, a series of bank holiday events in Oxford with
an open music policy, warm vibe & sexy crowd, the foundations have been laid
for
Sean Holbrook and best friend Nick Gladwin to take Simple to the next level. A weekly
radio show on Mezz Music (Saturday Simple Social) with 75,000 listeners, a
fortnightly club night in Oxford (750 Capacity) called 'Aural Pleasure' &
bookings for DJ sets countrywide coming in.
A self confessed Groove Addict, who wanted nothing more than to share his music with the world. Sean got the ball rolling by moving to Manchester to start a label called “Dorigen Music”. The label kick started in 1999 and is still going strong to this day. Some of his A&R highlights included classics “Raincry” and “Phoenix” by Scott Hardkiss, and Bedrock anthem “No Beast, So Fierce” (Moonface Remix) by the leaders of the Nu Skool, Koma & Bones. Whilst running Dorigen, Sean alongside his partner in crime, Lazlo Panaflex took up the production honours as 'Moriaty' and 'Hoodrats'. Both pseudonyms giving them great success; as Moriaty they released the deep / tech monster “Pressure 1 & 2” with a remix of Jondi & Spesh's “The Sway” and a remix of Denis Christopher's “Synergy” as the 'Hoodrats'.
Since leaving Dorigen last year, Sean hit London town to live his dream of
setting up another label, but this time having more direction and consistency. So “Undercurrent” was born, a diverse underground label that has brought us
the likes of 'Chab', 'Nato', 'Moricoco' & 'Raff N Freddy' to name a few. With
its musical boundaries pushed back, Innovative House Music as a concept &
label direction facing forward the label has found a place in the hearts of
many a DJ worldwide as one the leaders of the UK house scene.
