biography

The Munich-based DJ and record producer Sebastian Weiss, a.k.a. Sepalot lives out his ideals of change, while simultaneously remaining faithful to his love of artistic consistency.

As producer and DJ to the Munich rap-combo Blumentopf, he has already sent several records into the Top-10 of the German album charts; ground-breaking tracks securing early his place in the annals of local Hip Hop culture.

Sepalot is a man most wanted for his live and club DJ-ing skills. With his demanding sets he artfully constructs a bridge to span the genres, before bringing down the walls of the club with his armory of two 1210ers, an MPC and Ableton Live. He remains true to his belief that DJ-ing is an art form, whilst proving that he can entice any crowd to come along for the ride.

And last but not least, he is an experienced solo artist. Sepalot has already rolled out his magic carpet of silky soft beats for acts such as Saigon and Blu to bed their musical ideas on. His contribution to Ladi6's platinum single "Like Water" helped her to finally achieve her big break-through. From Hollywood Blockbuster "Arthur" to "Do You Think You Can Dance" his atmospheric soundscapes have been featured in film and TV across the globe; enriching commercials, trailers, soundtracks and film productions. He is a workaholic, who besides delivering revolutionary re-mixes, also has his own radio show. But most importantly, he is an accomplished artist, who's latest and hotly anticipated record Chasing Clouds is a worthy follow up to his celebrated debut album Red Handed (2008 Compost Records) and his recent collaboration with the Detroit rapper Frank Nitt on Fracture (MPM).
